Petzl Core Rechargeable Battery

Product Information

The Petzl Swift RL headtorch has one particular outdoor trick that will astonish you – it’s really, really, really bright. Rechargeable battery technology on board also adds to the functionality, allowing easy recharging on an expedition from a power pack. We also wore Cambridge gloves to see if any of the head torches might prove particularly challenging for users with limited hand movement, but found that none of them stood out as being extra difficult.

SWIFT RL is intuitive to use, with a single button that easily controls all functions: ON/OFF, lighting modes, brightness, and locking. The Sierra Designs 800 20 is all designed to make nights in the great outdoors more comfortable – no zips required! At first glance the Petzl Swift RL headtorch is immediately familiar, a compact style head torch consisting of a head strap, positionable body containing LEDs and battery pack, and a single control switch. We provide hints and tips about camping as well as reviews of the gear we’ve found useful over the years. Battery power is flexible as it will take 3 x AAA batteries (included) or a CORE rechargeable battery which sadly has to be bought separately.See our round up of the best torches for more useful solutions should you get caught in a power cut or blackout. One point to note is that the casing is waterproof at IPX4 which means it’s protected against heavy splashing. For example, headlamps such as the Silva Trail Runner Head Torch integrate the electronics into a textile whilst the strap is made from silicone. As you continue to use the headlamps, a low battery warning system reminds you when it’s time to recharge. Take into account how big an area you're looking to illuminate, as well as how brightly that area should be lit.

The downside of this ingenuity is that the lamp will switch off if the sensors detect enough ambient light to see by, which as the instructions point out, wouldn’t be ideal for activities such as skiing or MTB, or a host of similar high-speed situations.

Casting 450 lumens, ACTIK® provides powerful and comfortable lighting to go with you when you’re running, trekking, or mountaineering.

Petzl has solved this by creating a second set of ‘standard’ settings too, which cut out the sensor and 'just' give you low/med/high beam as you’ve selected, like a normal, dumb headtorch. These include activities such as navigation and mountaineering especially in intense conditions such as during winter. Whether you like the reactive settings or not, the Petzl Swift RL headtorch is a premium item of lighting hardware, and – importantly – deceptively simple to use.A bit like reactive headlights on modern cars this will drop the light power when it is not required and then boost it up when needed. We then compared how wide and evenly spread the light from the head torches was at a distance of 10m. Furthermore, the headlamp features single button operation whereby a single button gives you control over all head torch functions for ease of use.
