The Petzl Red Light Filter Is Just 5 Grams
To help you keep using your Petzl headlamp, we've developed a red filter that clips directly onto your headlamp, providing the required red light without compromising performance or costing you precious time. Simply take it out when you reach the section of the course where it’s required... then keep your eyes on the finish line!
Is your headlamp compatible?
We've developed red filters for the latest generations of Petzl ultra-trail headlamps:
- NAO RL : ref E105AA00 (sold from 2022)
- SWIFT RL : ref E095BC00, 01, 02 et E095BD00 (sold from 2026)
At this time, no solution is available for other headlamp ranges or older models.

2. Does this accessory affect my headlamp's brightness?
Your white-light performance remains unchanged. Once the red filter is clipped onto the front of your headlamp, it will emit red light only, with the performance shown below:
NAO RL :
| REACTIVE LIGHTING |
STANDARD LIGHTING |
MAX: 60 lumens, up to 36 m beam distance
MEDIUM: 43 lumens, up to 28 m beam distance
MIN: 19 lumens, up to 19 m beam distance |
MAX: 60 lumens, up to 36 m beam distance
MEDIUM: 16 lumens, up to 18 m beam distance
MIN: 1 lumen, up to 3.5 m beam distance |
SWIFT RL :
| REACTIVE LIGHTING |
STANDARD LIGHTING |
MAX: 75 lumens, up to 30 m beam distance
MEDIUM: 30 lumens, up to 19 m beam distance

MAX: 89 lumens, up to 37.5 m beam distance
MEDIUM: 25 lumens, up to 17 m beam distance
MIN: 1 lumen, up to 3 m beam distance |
You can use your headlamp at all brightness levels, whether in STANDARD LIGHTING or REACTIVE LIGHTING mode. For technical terrain at night, we recommend using the MEDIUM or MAX lighting level.
3. Is it really free?
Yes. This service is offered free of charge by Petzl for summer 2026.
4. What are the shipping times if I request a filter through the online after-sales service?
- France: Delivery within 5 days (depending on La Poste).
- Outside France: We cannot guarantee delivery times during August and recommend picking up your red filter directly from one of the participating stores instead.
Now you're ready to take on your challenge!
