PETZL SWIFT RL Headlamp 1100 Lumen (white)

The PETZL SWIFT RL is an extremely powerful, lightweight and compact headlamp that is considered the flagship for fast and dynamic activities. With an impressive maximum light output of 1100 lumens at only 100 grams, it is the ideal lamp for trail running, ski touring or mountaineering. Its main strength is the REACTIVE LIGHTING® technology, where a sensor automatically adjusts the brightness to the environment to optimise battery life and minimise manual intervention. The battery is permanently integrated and is simply charged via Micro-USB.

Highlights at a glance

• Extreme luminosity: 1100 lumens maximum output for exceptional visibility during fast-paced activities.
• REACTIVE LIGHTING® technology: A brightness sensor automatically adjusts the brightness and the light cone to optimise battery life.
• Ultralight and compact: Only 100 grams of weight at maximum performance.
• High wearing comfort: Ergonomic, two-part headband for perfect support during dynamic movements.
• Integrated battery: Powerful 2350 mAh lithium-ion battery, rechargeable via Micro-USB Type B.
• Safe and visible: Reflective elements on the headband and a five-level battery charge indicator.

Intelligent lighting with REACTIVE LIGHTING®

In REACTIVE LIGHTING® mode, a sensor continuously analyses the ambient light and instantly adjusts both the brightness and the shape of the beam. If you look into the distance, the lamp increases the brightness for maximum range. If you look at a map or the ground, it automatically dims down to avoid glare. This provides maximum visual comfort, keeps your hands free and optimises battery life because no more energy is used than necessary.

Maximum performance with minimum weight

With 1100 lumens of brightness in a 100-gram lightweight housing, the SWIFT RL sets standards in the compact class. The two-part headband at the back of the head ensures an extremely stable and comfortable fit that does not slip even during rapid and jerky movements, such as downhill running. This makes it the first choice for all users looking for uncompromising performance at minimal weight.

Intuitive operation and safety

The lamp is operated via a single, ergonomic switch that allows access to all functions (on/off, light modes, brightness, lock). A LOCK function prevents the lamp from being switched on unintentionally during transport. The reflective headband ensures good visibility in the dark, and the precise five-stage charge indicator reliably informs you at any time about the remaining battery capacity.
 

Features

FAQs about the PETZL SWIFT RL headlamp

What is the main advantage of REACTIVE LIGHTING® technology?

The main advantage is comfort and extended battery life. The lamp automatically adjusts the brightness to your needs (bright in the distance, dimmed for close range). This means you do not have to constantly switch the lamp manually and the battery is conserved.

What is the difference between the SWIFT RL and the NAO RL?

The SWIFT RL (this model) is extremely compact and lightweight (100g) with an integrated front unit (lamp and battery). The NAO RL (145g) has a larger battery (3200 mAh) placed at the back, which improves balance and allows for even longer runtime at very high performance.

Can I change the battery?

No, the 2350 mAh battery in the SWIFT RL is permanently integrated to ensure compactness and water resistance (IPX4). It is not designed for quick replacement on the go, but is charged via the Micro-USB port.

What does IPX4 protection mean?

IPX4 means that the headlamp is protected against splashes of water from all directions. It can easily be used in rain or damp environments but is not suitable for immersion in water (diving).
