Petzl | Running and Trail Headlamps

Rechargeable headlamps for night running on road and trail

Petzl Headlamps

Founded in France in 1975, Petzl is a leading name in headlamps for running, trail and the outdoors. At Soccer Sport Fitness, you'll find its rechargeable headlamps and spare batteries to keep running when the days get shorter.

REACTIVE LIGHTING: light that adjusts itself

The NAO RL (1500 lumens) and SWIFT RL (1200 lumens) read the ambient light and automatically adjust brightness and beam pattern. You get the right light for the terrain while saving battery, ideal for long runs and ultras.

Lightweight for road running

The NAO LT (600 lumens, 90 g) spreads its weight over your head so it doesn't bounce. The SWIFT LT (380 lumens, 43 g) disappears on short runs and city training.

CORE range: rechargeable battery or AAA

The ACTIK CORE (625 lumens), TIKKA CORE (450 lumens) and TIKKINA (300 lumens) run on the rechargeable CORE battery or on AAA batteries. Handy for travel or as a backup light in your trail pack.

Spare batteries

Keep a charged battery on hand: the R1 for the NAO RL, the R2250 for the SWIFT RL and the CORE for the NAO LT, ACTIK CORE, TIKKA CORE and TIKKINA.

How to choose a running headlamp

On lit roads or short runs, 300 to 450 lumens is enough. On trails at night, aim for 600 lumens or more. For ultras and technical terrain, the automatic lighting of the NAO RL or SWIFT RL makes a real difference.

Complete your kit with our running accessories and our full running collection.

Which Petzl headlamp should I choose for running?
For road and short runs, the SWIFT LT or TIKKA CORE is enough. For trails at night, the ACTIK CORE or NAO LT gives you more power. For ultras and technical terrain, the NAO RL and SWIFT RL adjust their lighting automatically.

How many lumens do I need to run at night?
On lit roads, 300 to 450 lumens is enough. On trails, aim for 600 lumens or more to read the terrain clearly. Above 1000 lumens, you're ready for technical descents and moonless nights.

Are Petzl headlamps rechargeable?
Yes, most come with a rechargeable battery. The TIKKINA comes with AAA batteries, but it also accepts the rechargeable CORE battery, sold separately.

What is REACTIVE LIGHTING technology?
A sensor reads the ambient light and automatically adjusts brightness and beam pattern. You no longer need to switch modes while running, and the battery lasts longer. It's found on the NAO RL and SWIFT RL.

Can I use AAA batteries in my Petzl headlamp?
Yes with the CORE range (ACTIK CORE, TIKKA CORE), the TIKKINA and the NAO LT. Handy when travelling or if your battery runs out. The NAO RL, SWIFT RL and SWIFT LT run only on their rechargeable battery.
