Helmet-mounted headlamp Petzl SWIFT LT white — lightweight, compact, helmet-compatible lighting

Petzl Swift LT White is an ultra-compact, rechargeable headband flashlight that provides hands-free white LED illumination for close-range outdoor and everyday tasks. The lamp produces up to 380 lumens from a single LED and offers three white lighting levels plus a red light mode. The light integrates an 880 mAh lithium-ion battery rechargeable via USB-C, a battery charge indicator that displays level when the lamp is turned on or off, and an IPX4 splash-resistance rating for use in rain or damp conditions. The minimalist headband is lightweight and breathable, includes reflective thread for added visibility, and can be removed and washed.

Advantages

The Petzl Swift LT combines very low weight and compact size with a high-output LED, enabling bright, uniform illumination while keeping carried weight to a minimum. Rechargeable power and a visible battery indicator simplify field use and recharging management. The headband’s reflective thread improves visibility without adding bulk, and the removable, washable strap supports hygiene and repeated use. IPX4 splash resistance allows use in varied weather conditions.

Suitable for

• Trail running and fast-moving outdoor activities where low weight matters
• Camping and close-up campsite tasks such as cooking or gear repair
• Everyday hands-free tasks: home repairs, walking the dog, or commuting
• Situations requiring short-range, uniform illumination around feet and hands

How to use

Attach the headband and adjust it for a secure, comfortable fit so the lamp sits above the forehead and illuminates the area in front of you. Select the desired white power level or red light mode using the lamp’s control. Recharge the integrated battery via the USB-C port when charge is low; the battery indicator will report remaining charge when the lamp is turned on or off. Observe the IPX4 rating by avoiding submersion—suitable for rain and splashes but not for underwater use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal runtime, use the standard power level for general tasks and reserve the highest output for short periods when maximum brightness is required. Remove and wash the headband periodically to maintain comfort and hygiene. Keep the USB-C charging cable protected from moisture while charging and avoid exposing the lamp to heavy immersion despite its splash resistance.
