Hello Barking
No, it means that your standard Petzl LED models are now really, really bright, and your XPs are exceptionally bright. Does this make sense?
Going back, we used to be impressed that a Petzl Zoom with a standard bulb had a 30m beam. When the compact LEDs came out (Zipka / Tikka), the pay off for the low weight was a fairly modest 13-15m glow. Today's equivalent models have a 30m range - same as an old Zoom, but are loads more compact and cheaper to run.
Tikka XP and Myo XP are in another league again.
