Swift RL Headlamp - Black

This is arguably the best headlamp I have used (I've tried about a dozen through my life). I found even on medium brightness, it's enough for me to work on engines, projects around the house, and camping. This is also the first headlamp I've used with adaptive brightness. It's works good...not great. For example, I find that I always have to have it on high when using the adaptive lighting to keep it bright enough all the time. The one great feature of the adaptive lighting is that it saves on battery use...I found by hours! I also really like the head strap adjustment. It's a very simple push/pull system that makes adjustments quick and stays in place after adjustment (I've been using it for several months now and I use it multiple times a week for over an hour each time.). Having a USB-C charge point is great. I did find that recharging can take several hours using a 5V, 2.0mA brick, which is consistent with the advertised rate (just longer than what I'm used to).

Truly one of the best headlamps available. The beam is crisp, powerful, and the auto-adjusting light feature works flawlessly on technical trails. Very lightweight and comfortable to wear for hours. 10/10 recommendation.

Easy to use, great light and red light, light in weight and durable for many hours before charging. Good for its price.

This is a very bright headlamp. I picked it up because of the USB-C rechargeability. And it's also dual function for me: I use it both for hiking and for night riding my bicycle. I find that it's bright enough for bike riding. As far as its durability goes. IDK? I've had it for months now, I've used it extensively, and I have absolutely no problems with it. But I'm also careful with getting it wet. That's always my main concern. I haven't had it out of my head in a full downpour. I try to keep it tucked under the hood of my raincoat. With careful usage its been very durable for me. I appreciate the fitting mechanism of the headlamp. I like the way it tightens and is easy to adjust. Its very comfortable to wear. I'm knocking it one star for two reasons. One is that the power switch is easily pushed, and I've had the battery drain a couple of times because the light was on inside my pack all day. Also, there's just something about it, maybe its the power switch thing. But this doesn't quite feel like the perfect piece of gear that I love every time I look at it. It's a high bar. But I like to have every single piece of my gear dialed in exactly what I want. Oh yeah, and the "reactive lighting" feature. I don't use it. I find it to be annoying, actually. Maybe it's just me, but having the light flicker randomly to brighter/dimmer settings in the dark is kind of distracting, and I don't like it. I always turn off that feature. It's definitely a solid headlamp. Worth the money. Just not perfect for me.

Once you figure out settings. It superb. Firsts Petzl after only owing Black Diamond for MANY years. BD has decreased in quality. I’ll be purchasing other Petzl models as needed going forward. Used for hiking, skinning, daily night use and back up for mountain biking if needed.

Great

Headlight is used for night hikes but would serve well for night jogs as well. It’s lite and bright. It takes a little getting use to the single control button but adjusting to your dome is straightforward and easy. I do wish there was a way to disable the auto brightness feature but it has not been an issue since I’m using it in complete darkness. I has a long life battery and they are swappable if you are planning an extended trip. It only comes with one battery so if that is what you need you’ll need to purchase additional batteries separately. Very satisfied with it as it serves my purpose well.

Well , I love the reactive mode , it really allows longer battery life , although I would like to be able to adjust the brightness level and not just a non adjustable factory setting . The headband was great , j love how it could the back of your head . Cons, after testing how long the battery lasts , after 1 day of testing , the led (flood light ). Lens started turning purple . Which I believe is the failure of the coating on the led . So I'm going to return it and go with the pro model . I've read that the pro model remembers what light setting you were previously on . Which was a pain on this model, when you shut it off it always come back on on low on reactive mode , and to get to standard mode you have to hold down the power button .

La mejor luz frontal que he tenido. Pros: - Tiene varios modos muy útiles. Tiene 3 niveles de potencia fijos y esos mismos 3 que se adaptan a la luz del entorno. A parte, tiene opciones de emergencia. Normalmente, uso el más débil porque me es más que suficiente, pero cuando estoy descendiendo y voy algo más rápido, le pongo un poco más de potencia dependiendo de la velocidad. - La batería dura bastante. - Es muy fácil de ajustar cada vez que te la pones. En otros modelos que había tenido, más baratos, era un poco rollo. - Si no te pasas apretando, es super cómoda de llevar y no te molesta. La he llevado para correr más de 18km y no me ha molestado. - La luz que emite es bastante 'abierta' y se difumina lo suficiente para alumbrar mucho mejor que otros modelos. Ves lo que tienes delante pero también te da algo de información lateral que va muy bien. Contras: - Para desmontarla y poder limpiar la correa, es un poco rollo. Es complejo. Entiendo que lo hacen para que no te salte mientras corres o si le das algún golpe, pero es demasiado dificultoso y la mayoría de veces la limpio si extraer la luz, con lo que eso puede conllevar que algún día acabe mojando el conector USB-C

Muy buena lámpara, excelente para caminatas, bicicleta, senderismo. etc..

just what I needed to light up those nighttime foot journeys

Petzl Nao'dan sonra onun fazlasıyla karmaşık bir yapıya sahip olmasından sonra geçtim. Aydınlatma programları Petzl Nao'da olduğu gibi özelleştirilebilir değil. 3 adaptif, 3 sabit olmak üzere 6 farklı modu var ve tek butondan seçiliyor. Bende ilk nesil Swift RL'de vardı, yeni modelin farkı ışık şiddetinin üst seviyesinin arttırılmış olması ve USB C bağlantı kapısına sahip olması. Gece boyu rahatsız etmeyen, düşmelere karşı dayanıklı çok memnun olduğum bir kafa lambası, adaptif sistem de mükemmel çalışıyor.
