SWIFT RL

Petzl SWIFT RL

Petzl Swift RL is an ultra-powerful and rechargeable headlamp with an ultra-thin headband and REACTIVE LIGHTING technology. The series is designed for the most demanding activities after dark, and at RunningXpert, Swift RL is an ideal choice for those who run, train, or move at high speed in the dark.

WHAT CHARACTERIZES PETZL SWIFT RL?

Swift RL delivers up to 1200 lumens and weighs only 92 g, providing a good balance between weight and brightness. With high brightness, you can see up to 168 meters ahead, and a mixed beam ensures comfortable lighting both near and far.

You can choose between two lighting modes: REACTIVE LIGHTING and STANDARD LIGHTING. In REACTIVE LIGHTING mode, a sensor analyzes the ambient light and automatically adjusts brightness and beam pattern, offering longer burn time, better visual comfort, and less need for manual operation. The lamp is designed to last long, with a minimum of 7 hours burn time at medium brightness in REACTIVE LIGHTING mode.

BOOST FUNCTION FOR EXTRA LIGHT WHEN NEEDED

With a quick double-tap on the side of the lamp, BOOST mode is activated, providing 6 seconds of maximum brightness – handy when you need to quickly orient yourself in the terrain. The BOOST function can be manually deactivated.

The lamp also features red light, both constant and strobe, which preserves night vision without blinding others.

ULTRA-THIN AND FLEXIBLE HEADBAND

Swift RL has a split headband that is easy to adjust and provides optimal support when running or skiing. The comfort foam can be removed to reduce weight and increase airflow as needed.

The headband has a reflective cord that increases your visibility in the dark and is made entirely of recycled materials. It can be removed, washed, and reattached.

RECHARGEABLE AND EASY TO OPERATE

Swift RL is operated with a single button that controls on/off, lighting modes, brightness, and lock function. The LOCK function prevents the lamp from being accidentally turned on during transport or storage.

The CORE battery is recharged via USB-C and has a battery indicator light and a five-step gauge, so you can precisely monitor the battery level. The lamp is weather-resistant (IPX4) and delivers guaranteed burn time, regardless of the lighting mode you use, even at lower temperatures.
