Review: Incredible work light... Not so great for hiking - I have owned this light for 10 months as of writing this review. I first bought this light to go in my backpack for fishing. I live in Hawaii and do a lot of shore fishing which often requires fairly treacherous hikes across lava fields in the dark. I will admit, for this purpose, I was not impressed. The light just was not bright enough to illuminate the jagged terrain, however it worked fine for up close tackle work. Unhappy with it,I threw it in my tool bag (I have a handyman business) and bought a Princeton Tech Apex 200 for my backpack (an incredible light for hiking etc.). Soon after banishing the Petzel to my tool bag, I began to use it for work, and that is where it truly shined (pardon the pun). I do a lot of work in dark confined places, and this light puts off the perfect amount of illumination in the right spectrum to see clearly without distorting colors (very important when dealing with wiring). The Pixa 3 is incredibly durable as well. I have dropped it from heights up to 8ft. and it doesn't phase it. One of my favorite features is the way the light rotates the lens against the base to protect it when being stored, and it locks the power knob so the light cant be accidentally turned on. I can just toss it in my bag and not have to worry about it being damaged by other tools. Battery life is terrific and it gives you ample warning that the batteries need to be recharged/replaced. Also, its waterproof. I've dropped it in a pail of water and I just shook it off and it kept working fine. Conclusions: If you are looking for a light for hiking, biking or outdoor activities there are much better choices. I highly recommend the Princeton Tech Apex 200. If you are looking for a top of the line work/service light, I don't think you could find a better light than this.
Review: Excellent, but a little heavy - Boy LED headlights have come a long way since my Tikka that I have been using for years. This model has three modes; flood, spotlight, and mix of both (at what appears to be 50% power for both lights.) It comes with the standard strap and a mount that clips directly (and securely) into my Petzl Vertx Vent helmet. Slick. It is a bit heavier than I am used to, but seems solid and it throws some serious light. Another nice feature -- the light itself rotates all the way around for storage, ultimately pointing the lights back at the helmet for protection and making it impossible to turn on by accident. The selector switch itself is easy to use while wearing gloves. I'm very happy with Petzl equipment in general and this seems to be a great purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: anyone use this light for tree work? How do you like it? any concerns?any comments?**
A: Haven't used it for tree work what ever that is. Have had mine for several years and like it. I use it all the time for running around in the yard at night since I don't have lights outside. When on spot, it has a pretty good throw. Would probably work as a coon hunting light. Can't tell you just how long the batteries last since I only use it a little at a time. It will start blinking when they do get low. It has a wide bean, a wide beam plus spot light and a spot light only. Hope this helps in your decision. Haven't had any problems with it.

**Q: Is the light water resistant IP67**
A: Watertightness: IP67 (waterproof to -1 meter for 30 minutes; no maintenance required after immersion)

**Q: it includes charger?**
A: It does not include a charger.

**Q: Can you ship it to Bahrain? If yes how much it will cost me?**
A: yes.  USPS Express international mail with tracking will be $65

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, but a little heavy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable and flexible. Good quality headlamp for work.
*by M***S on March 9, 2024*

I've been using this daily for over two years with a Petzl Vertex Vent helmet. Working in the entertainment industry. Think active construction zone with a performance every day. The light is durable and bright. Flexible with both flood and spot beams. I'm using high quality rechargeable AA batteries and they seem to last forever (requires alkaline for HAZLOC, not needed for my work). Has taken numerous drops and impacts with no loss of function. I barely notice the weight on my helmet. I also use the included strap for when a helmet is not needed. Often letting the lamp hang around my neck is sufficient for me to read notes during dark rehearsals. Occasionally use it for hiking as well, though a light with less weight would be better for that. When not in use the light can be rotated all the way to protect the face. This also prevents the knob from turning to the ON position, saving your batteries. My only complaint is that the beam is not perfectly flat, especially with the flood light. Where the LED mounts inside the reflector has a small depression and that casts slight shadows. Most of the time it's not noticeable (if you're busy), but I sometimes think the lens is dirty and it's just the shadow. Overall well designed and will stand up to tough work environments.
