Doug W Are all of the XP 2's "LED" lights?
SCOBIE P Yes, there is one primary super-bright, multi-level white LED, as well as a lesser red LED which can be turned on separately if you need a small light source that won't mess up your night vision. Both LED's can be set to flash, and the bright white one has a quick-slideover lens that lets you go from a narrow beam to more of a flood. These are all modern high-intensity LED's, and I trust them to last for many many years. They are not considered replace-able because they just don't need replacing.
This is a very impressive headlamp for such a small light unit. I bought it as a lightweight backup for a 45-mile 24-hour trek in the Grand Canyon. If I were going to do the trip again (which involved over 10 hours of night hiking) I would consider going with two of these (instead of the heavier one I had with the xp2 as backup). I've always loved my Petzl Tikka lamps, but this one is the best yet by far, and strikingly bright for such a small, light unit.
I know I sound like I'm trying to sell it, but I don't work for Sunny or any other gear company. I just think Petzl gear is awesome, and it has served me in some pretty tough conditions.
GEORGE B Hi there,
Yes, the Petzl Tikka XP 2 is an LED headlamp... they work great, best headlamp I've ever used. I highly recommend them.

WAYNE H It has a separate red light from the white but I believe they are all LEDs as it says in the description.
brandon d Yes. Most headlamps on the market use LEDs. It's a nice headlamp. I have one and have used it quite a lot. The batteries last a pretty long time too.
