One of the most recognizable mobile lighting sources are Petzl head flashlights. Petzl is a French company that has been operating since 1975, and its main products are precisely headlamps and climbing equipment and accessories. The production of such a range was the result of Petzl founder Fernand Petzl realizing his passion for climbing and exploring caves. The first products were manufactured to satisfy Fernand's need to equip himself with proper lighting or climbing harnesses. With a keen understanding of the needs of explorers, Petzl products were able to meet their needs.
Petzl headlamps quickly became almost synonymous with headlamp flashlights, thanks to their strength and durability. A very important step for the company was the introduction of headlamp flashlights using LEDs in 2000. The start of the use of LEDs significantly increased the flashlights' burn time on a single set of batteries, thanks to the energy efficiency of the LEDs themselves. Another positive effect was the achievement of higher wattages of the flashlights themselves. A convenient feature of Petzl headlamps today is that most of them can be powered by two different types of power. One of them is the most basic sets of AAA batteries, and a slightly more developed way is to use the manufacturer's dedicated rechargeable batteries. Such rechargeable batteries allow you to charge them using an ordinary micro USB connector. This allows you to economically guarantee the power supply of the flashlight, with the easy possibility of recharging the battery itself. Most models offer IPX4 water resistance, meaning you can use them in the rain without worry.
Each flashlight offers several possible light modes of varying power. For the sake of reliability and simplicity of the system, in Petzl head flashlights, it is not possible to adjust the width of the light smoothly. However, in order to give you the opportunity to adjust the light output to your current needs, models equipped with more than one LED usually have differentiated mirrors and glasses, which are responsible for forming the light beam. In terms of additional lighting functions, there are also models equipped with an RGB LED or a red LED. Green light is very useful during night hikes in the woods. Red, on the other hand, allows you to read a map without losing your eyes' adaptation to darkness, which would be the case when white light is turned on. The green light is less visible by animals, so you won't scare them away. This is perfect for fans of observing animals in their natural habitat. A wide elastic band is responsible for the convenience of mounting the flashlight on the head. Thanks to the width of the band, in addition to stability, you get a better distribution of the flashlight's weight, making it virtually imperceptible. The flashlights themselves are lightweight, so that even during dynamic walking, they will not slip off the head.
Thanks to their small size, low weight, simplicity and reliability, Petzl headlamps will be of interest to hunters or anglers, as well as fans of night orienteering or mountain marching. The small portable light source is a great accessory for any person who enjoys outdoor activities. The small headlamp is a great accessory for both travel and an evening out with the dog.
