The first thing that I noticed is its big!. If you're used to the Tikka this thing will be huge. It is over 3" wide. The fit and finish are fine. It is regulated and water proof. It uses 2 AA batteries. It fells OK strapped to your head. It can be stored with the emitters facing the base plate to protect the lenses and this also locks out the switch. The switch is easy to active the three modes. 30 lumen low flood, 50 lumen high throw, and 40 lumen medium in which the both the flood and throw LEDs activate. If you are a beam snob this light is not for you. When white wall hunting the beams are ringy. The tint is cool white. I feel Petzl is accurate on its output ratings.
Overall I like the light despite its size. I will use a Tikka 2+for most of my camping needs because of its small size and red LED.
The Pixa 3 will be my light of choice mounted on my Petzl helmut.
It is not a good reading in the tent light, the low is too bright. But if you're moving it throws plenty of light.
