Petzl SWIFT RL - How to use

- Learn how to use some of the most important features on the Petzl SWIFT RL headlamp.
With its 900-lumen brightness and total weight of only 100 g, SWIFT® RL is the most powerful of the Petzl compact headlamps. With its REACTIVE LIGHTING® technology, a sensor analyzes the ambient light and automatically adjusts brightness to user requirements. The headband is reflective for night visibility. Its two-part construction provides excellent stability in dynamic and intense activities such as mountaineering, trail running and skiing. SWIFT® RL is intuitive, with a single button for easy control of all lamp functions. It is rechargeable, with a five-level gauge for precise monitoring of the battery charge level.
My left ear enjoyed the video very much.
😂
Thanks for this video as the written instructions are not the best I am afraid. Looking forward to using it this winter
Glad it was helpful!
I use this model for night running and it's amazing.👍Greetings from Ireland.
I’m upgrade with this 900 L from tikka RXP 215L and the difference is awesome. Using for night trail running in Puerto Rico. I combine with UltrAspire 200L in my waist. Very nice combination!
This is my favorite lamp for trail running! Very popular in France!
How is the comfort? I just got it and the headband seems really small(and tight). I don't have a big head so I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong
I use the light for night running where part of the run is in well lit area and then it goes to wooded area which is often muddy as it rains a lot in winters when the days are short . I feel like reactive lighting is meant for runs like mine as it works perfectly in sync with the surrounding light .
THANK YOU! Mine just stopped working, taking battery out & replacing fixed it!
Hi! hoping to have some tutorials on how to remove the strap. thanks
I've owned one of these for over a year. It's the best headlamp I've ever owned, or used. I've found the standard mode, with low setting, works for 80% of all uses. I generally don't need Reactive, or high power, however, when I do, both work amazingly well. Like having a headlamp, PLUS a flashlight on your head. A couple tips:
Don't try to charge it off a USB cable plugged into a computer. It likely won't work.
You probably don't need an extra battery. This one lasts a long, long time. I suppose if you're on a multi-day, or multi-week backpacking trip, third world expedition, or ultra endurance night event. The other 98% of us...
You can use a battery bank with a solar powered charger to charge your electronics :) I would highly recommend spending the extra buck for the name brand products tho
Why petzl, oh why can't you put usb c on those headlamps it's 2021 ffs
It's 2023 and not sign of change
Rei has the newest Swift RL. It's 1100 lumens and has USB C charging. 😁
1100 is usb c finally and it’s more Lumens 🎉🎉🎉
you can place a bit of tape on the sensor so it can ligt 900 lumen all time.
2 issues i spotted straight away.
A. Not red light,
B. Usb not covered, if gets wet and need to charge it,... ¿?¿?
RL = also has a Red Light how is this activated? "three lighting modes selected with a long hold: STANDARD LIGHTING, REACTIVE LIGHTING® and red lighting"
While the light is on: hold the button down for 4 seconds. Switches it to red light mode. At least on my usb-c version.
Can we just get a standard actik core with 900 lumens please!!! Reactive is more annoying than convenient in my opinion
Let's get a 1000 lumen actik! With 6 different lighting modes.. an upgraded battery capacity that can last 1 month on its lowest setting like a Fenix flash light
Yes! I should’ve done my research first because that’s what I thought the swift was and it is so disappointing. I can never get it to go to 900 lm and stay there and that sucks. Like I know it won’t last very long at 900 lm, but I don’t care! I want to be able to set it to that And keep it there. So mad I spent so much money on the stupid thing.
Super simple... I like simple :)
So absolutely love this lamp, my only pain is the charging port. You need to upgrade to USB-C
they need to update it it's got a USB micro that needs to be USB-C type-c
Why was the light designed to provide more lumens in reactive mode than standard? I think it would be nice to have the same lumens in standard mode if you don't want the light to be reacting to ambient conditions. Or was the intent to provide an option to provide longer duration performance by switching to standard mode?
My light just arrived in the post and this is the first time I’ve heard it only goes to 500 lms on standard mode. I might not have bought it if I knew earlier. I need the max amount continuously for filming.
I love lamp
Climbers should use another model. This is not a hybrid model for batteries. So if on a long climb, you need a recharge, you’re out of luck. Also no red light, which was an instant deal-killer. No reactive lighting system can compete with a red light in your tent.
You missed talking about the red light
would have been nice to have usb-c
Does the focused/spot beam work with Reactiv lighting? Mine does not
How do I wash the strap? Can it be removed?
Can I remove the flashlight housing, I mean the part where the rubber band is attached?
Could I use regular batteries instead?
Soooo, 2 questions. Why no red light and i have an older reactive thingy and i just ordered a new headband. How do i put a new strap on 😁
How do I remove the headband to wash it or replace?
I am more than a little curious about this too!
@@andrewdavid9649 you have to turn the endpoint 90 degrees and slip through. It does come off all of the petzls. The "hole" gives a little and needs to be forced a bit
audio works only on the left side
Any red light?
No red light
Is there 900 lumens in standard mode not reactive?
Since it only uses one light in standard mode it is 550 lumens at the max setting I believe
Can I charge it "on the go"? Can't find this information anywhere
You can definitely charge it using a mobile battery pack.
Hello, have got one. Could you explain how to open rear cover to access the battery? I do everything according to the instructions: I turn the body of the flashlight from the bottom up, but it does not turn completely and rests against the bracket on the belt. I'm afraid to turn further, as it might break,in my opinion.
Sounds like you are on the right track. You just need to carefully use enough force to pop the head off track. It shouldn't break if you do it carefully. If it does break, you should be able to warranty it.
i agree, this useful info is sorely missing in videos and printed instructions. Damn annoying.
@@yovni The instructions are a joke. They can’t even properly describe how to turn the torch on and off! I really expect something better for the money this costs.
if we're doing multi day or week climbs, could we use regular batteries if we don’t have access to electricity to charge it?
no but i guesd you can buy extra battery
Sorry, this is one of our only lamps that isn't hybrid like you are asking about. You have to use a specific battery for this lamp. Buying extra batteries will help.
Just bought one - no red light. Seriously?
Is it waterproof? If I’m running in the wind and rain will it break?
its IPX4 rated, so if you go for a run in the rain you should be fine 99% of the time. Drop it in a river, or blast it with a hose pipe and it'll break.
What's the difference between this model and the Swift RL pro model?
red light
And pro is heavier 30 grams.
Sensor should ve removed for changing lumens.. could create problem in extreme temperatures..just press buttons.
O frontală care nu-și merită nici un ban,din cauza senzorului montat pe ea.
Why normal mode (without RL) max lumens is 550 instead of 900?
Makes no sense
But tape over the sensor for blocking out RL.
@@johnkenny694 thank you
No way are you getting 900 lumens out of it in either mode. Very clever marketing!!
Felix have 1000+ lumens lol😂😂😂 but it becomes so hot.. when touched.
My mistake its Fenix...😂😂😂 1300 lumenss😂😂😂 got one. Fenix hm60r model
Thank you. The printed instructions are CRAP!
so how do you turn the fuckin red light off??????????????? complicated product
micro usb ew
Can i use this headlamp in heavy rain?
Why dis lapm dont have red light?
