REACTIVE LIGHTING
This exclusive technology developed by Petzl instantly provides the right lighting at the right time, without the need for manual operation. It optimizes burn time and allows the user to focus on their activity with peace of mind. Beyond Power... Intelligence! Available on lamps in the PERFORMANCE line.
Intelligent Lighting
Developed and patented by Petzl, our exclusive REACTIVE LIGHTING technology is revolutionizing hands-free lighting. The system uses a light sensor and an accelerometer to analyze your activity and the level of ambient lighting. It instantly delivers the optimal brightness and beam pattern for the situation.
Hands-Free Lighting for Greater Comfort and Performance
REACTIVE LIGHTING headlamps are specially designed for high-commitment and intense sports. There's no need to manually switch between modes — the user's hands are free, so they can focus completely on the activity. Note: It's possible to return to the fixed lighting levels if the situation calls for it.
Proximity Lighting
To see an object at close range (reading a map, tying a knot or putting up a tent, for example) the beam is very wide and less bright. Lighting automatically adjusts to the distance of the object.
Movement
For walking or running, the beam is mixed: wide to see your feet and focused to anticipate the terrain ahead.
Distance Vision
When raising the head to see farther (looking for a trail marker during a race or for the anchor on a climb, for example), the brightness increases considerably, and the beam becomes focused.
Longer Burn Time
Intelligent lighting optimizes battery life, offering greater burn time for your lamp.
Variation in Minimum Brightness Based On Activity
Burn time is guaranteed (see the "Lighting Performance" section of your headlamp's product page on Petzl.com).
