The reactive sensor also reacts to what you are looking at, whether a map close up or into the distance. Saying that, on standard 550 lumens, the maximum battery time is only two hours. You will need to carry a spare battery if you plan to be out for longer. But when in reactive beam mode the battery use is far less. Ergonomic and adjustable headband provides the ideal fit, with split construction (Petzl patent); the headband can also be detached and washed or replaced.

Jon Doran tests a new rechargeable all-round headtorch that uses Petzl’s Reactive Lighting technology... As useful as it is, it’s a double-edged sword. The brightness levels also have a habit of changing when you don’t want them to.Lumens: This is a measure of the output of a light in terms of brightness. The higher the number, the brighter the output.

Or, when the lights illuminate road signs. Removable and replaceable battery (also sold separately) makes it possible to switch out the battery during use If you are running or walking on your own there are far fewer variables for the reactive technology to be influenced by. Even so, I found that the beam didn’t stay as bright as I would wish it to be to be able to see my way ahead. I am wondering if this is because of my myopia. I know I prefer a brighter beam and perhaps I require a brighter light to run by than the reactive beam offers me.Since then there have been leaps and bounds of development, and we now have more choice of torches than ever before. You can go all out for lumens, or opt for a longer battery life; you can make it simple and lightweight, or dazzle yourself with a plethora of modes and settings; some torches have inbuilt USB-rechargeable batteries, while others even connect to your phone for programmable control.

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. The hitch with the standard settings is that this drops full beam to a mere 550 lumens, presumably as the full 900 lumens will melt through steel like a superman eye laser - and the battery - if left constantly on for the entire 2 hour burn time. Ergonomic and adjustable headband provides the ideal fit, with split construction (Petzl patent); the headband can also be detached and washedDigging down into it in a much more serious way, the product’s two-part construction ensures first-rate stability during dynamic and intense activities such as mountaineering, trail running and skiing. Move about as much as you want and this thing will continue to light the way for you.

Lighting performance Lighting Performance Lighting performance as defined by the ANSI/PLATO FL 1 protocol Time and resources being finite, we generally make detailed comparisons between products only in our Group Tests; but it makes sense to do so here. In a nutshell, it uses a light sensor to automatically adjust the strength of light depending on how much light is around you.SWIFT RL - Compact multi-beam headlamp, ultra-powerful and rechargeable, with REACTIVE LIGHTING technology from Petzl-sport on Vimeo. Very good headtorch with great battery life for running at night. Low power is plenty in the hills, only needing higher power on technical descents. 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. Performance is off the charts: even at the slightly-gimped standard settings, 550 lumens, 100g, 2 hours is a pretty solid set of numbers, and a 900 lumen max output from a compact headtorch is just silly.
