Headlamp Petzl SWIFT RL, 1200 lm, green

The Petzl SWIFT RL is a rechargeable headlamp that delivers up to 1200 lumens in a compact, helmet-compatible form. Designed for professionals and outdoor users who need a powerful, adjustable beam and reliable hands-free lighting, this headlamp integrates reactive lighting technology to automatically adjust brightness according to ambient conditions. It offers multiple lighting modes, a proximity red/green light option, and a robust build suitable for work at height, search and rescue, and technical outdoor activities.

Advantages

The Petzl SWIFT RL provides strong, even illumination with a high maximum output while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily on helmets. Reactive lighting reduces the need to manually change brightness, extending runtime by adapting to surroundings. Rechargeable battery support simplifies logistics and reduces long-term cost compared with disposable batteries. The availability of red and green proximity light options improves close-range visibility and team coordination without impairing night vision.
