Full details
The Petzl Swift LT Headtorch is an ultra-lightweight and compact lighting solution designed for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize minimal weight and maximum utility. Its key benefit lies in its 380-lumen brightness and versatile lighting modes, all packed into a palm-sized design. A minor caveat is that the USB-C charging cable is not included. This headtorch features three white lighting levels, a continuous red light, and a strobe function, making it suitable for a range of activities from close-up work to signaling.

FAQs
What is the battery life of the Petzl Swift LT Headtorch?
The battery life varies depending on the lighting mode used. For example, the 'Service life of lamp' is listed as 3 hours, which typically corresponds to a higher output mode like MAX POWER. The 'Max Burn Time' mode will provide significantly longer illumination at a lower brightness.
How do I know when the battery is low?
The headtorch features a battery charge indicator that shows the battery level each time the lamp is turned on or off.
Is the Petzl Swift LT waterproof?
The headtorch has an IPX4 rating, which means it is weather-resistant and protected against splashes of water. It is not designed for submersion.
Can I replace the battery?
The Swift LT features an integrated rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. It is not designed to be user-replaceable, but it can be recharged via USB-C.
What accessories are compatible with the Swift LT?
The Swift LT is compatible with the HELMET ADAPT and BIKE ADAPT 2 mounts, allowing it to be attached to various helmet types or a bicycle.
What is the benefit of the red light mode?
The continuous red lighting mode is useful for preserving night vision and for signaling. It prevents temporary blindness that can occur when switching between white light and darkness, and it is less disruptive to others nearby.
Does the headtorch come with a charging cable?
No, the USB-C charging cable required for recharging the headtorch is not included with the product.
Troubleshooting
Headtorch does not turn on
Ensure the battery is charged. Check that the LOCK function is disengaged. Try charging the device and attempt to power it on again.
Light output is dim or flickering
The battery may be low; recharge the headtorch. Ensure there are no obstructions in the LED lens. If the issue persists, the battery may need to be replaced or the unit serviced.
Headband adjustment is loose
Ensure the adjustment mechanism is properly secured. If the headband material is worn, consider contacting customer support for replacement parts or options.
Headtorch not charging
Verify that the USB-C cable is properly connected to both the headtorch and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter to rule out accessory issues.
Accidental activation during transit
Ensure the LOCK function is engaged before storing or packing the headtorch. This feature is designed to prevent unintentional power-on.
