Swift RL Headlamp - Lightweight & Rechargeable 1100 Lumen Headlamp - Orange

Amazing lights with terrific battery life. These also manage themselves for appropriate light output. They can be made to give full output all the time if that’s what you need.

Great light, very bright when needed but with many other brightness levels. It stays in place.

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.

The headlamp is very comfortable to wear and feels lightweight, which makes it great for longer. The build quality is solid and everything works as expected right out of the box. That said, I was expecting a bigger jump in visibility from the advertised 1100 lumens. In practice, it doesn’t feel dramatically brighter than my Black Diamond Storm 350. The lighting is good and perfectly usable, but it comes across as more “average” than exceptional. Overall, it’s a reliable and well-designed headlamp, but if you’re upgrading mainly for a significant boost in brightness, you might find the difference smaller than expected.

Simply the best overall headlamp you can buy. Although a little pricey, you get what you pay for, and this lamp delivers, I have purchased three of them over the last 2 years. I live in rural Costa Rica and when I'm out walking the dogs at night, I can see whatever snake is in our path way before I step on it. Dear Petzl, feel free to make me a product tester.... If only everything else was made this well....

I've had this headlamp for about a year now, and put it through its paces. I've had it in my pack in a hidden compartment indefinitely, and I'm glad I got it. Took it out climbing, and ended up getting back a bit later than expected. The light on full power is bright enough that I felt confident enough to run on a pitch black night with about the same confidence as running in dusk or sun up conditions. Further, the fog light is very convenient; I had a whiteout ski "adventure" where we ended up (again) out later than expected, and it worked great for keeping the path lit enough to keep going. Charging is trivial, and although it's not the fastest to charge up, just leave it on the charger overnight before your adventures. And if you're forgetful like me, it has enough battery life that you can be confident it will (probably) get you through multiple emergency situations on one charge. Functions well in inclement weather, comes with a good enough case, and attaches to headgear/helmets easily.

I really like this headlamp and I’m glad I got it over a cheaper one because the little sensor on it is very well done. It subtly adjusts up or down depending on how far away you’re looking and it works very well. It also uses the sensor to turn the headlamp off completely if you enter a brightly lit area which saves power and is just downright convenient not having to mess with the settings as conditions change. The only downside I’ve seen is that if your breath condenses right in front of your face it can sometimes block the sensor making it think you’re looking at something very close and dimming the light. In practice it’s a minor issue but it is one situation where the sensor doesn’t do the right thing. I use this mainly for trail running in the dark in the Pacific Northwest and it’s perfect.

But this as a present to my cousin when I took a trip to Hungary, he was happy with it and says they are very comfortable, very bright and easy to use.
