Caught this little fella on sale at EMS.com and figured why not give it a shot! Gotta tell ya, it spanks the competition for size comparison versus weight and overall light output!

I've always used Black Diamond products for as long as I can remember. From LED to standard bulbs, most units revolve around multiple straps and three or more heavy AA batteries. The XP does the job with three AAA and one strap! You will forget you have a light on at all. With three setting for brightness, a boost that is super handy when extra light is needed, and a defuser to disperse light at your preferences, I'm gonna say this will be a tough booger to beat! I've left the others at the ranch!
