Petzl NAO LT BLACK/WHITE Headlamp

Petzl designed the NAO LT for runners and those who engage in dynamic activities who are looking for a lightweight headlamp without sacrificing lighting power. Weighing just 90 grams, it features a rear-mounted battery design that stabilizes the headlamp on the head and minimizes movement while active. Unisex, it’s equally suited for trail runs, camping trips , and bivouacking.

The Petzl NAO LT: A Headlamp Designed for Dynamic Activities

The NAO LT’s wide, uniform beam effectively illuminates the terrain ahead without creating annoying shadows, which is particularly appreciated on fast downhill trails. With 600 lumens in MAX POWER mode, it provides clear visibility in complete darkness. STANDARD mode extends runtime to 7 hours, while MAX BURN TIME mode reaches 85 hours—enough for bivouacs or multi-day trips where recharging isn’t possible. A flashing red light on the rear enhances visibility to other road or trail users.

HYBRID CONCEPT Technology and USB-C Charging

The headlamp features HYBRID CONCEPT technology, allowing it to operate equally well with the included CORE rechargeable battery or with three standard AAA batteries—a valuable flexibility when you’re far from power sources. The CORE battery recharges via a USB-C port in 3.5 hours. A battery charge indicator prevents unpleasant surprises before you set out. The LOCK function prevents accidental activation inside your backpack, thereby preserving battery life.

Comfort and Durable Design

The ultra-thin, breathable headband is removable, washable, and replaceable, making it easy to maintain and extending the product’s overall lifespan. The headlamp can be worn on the head, around the neck, or attached to a helmet, depending on the activity’s requirements. The shell and headband are made from 44% recycled or bio-based materials, a design choice consistent with growing environmental sustainability requirements. IPX4 weather resistance ensures reliable operation in rain or snow, though it does not guarantee complete watertightness when submerged.

Additional Technical Details

A few features are worth noting to complete the overall picture:

• SHELL LT Pouch Compatibility: The lamp can be transformed into a lantern using the ultra-lightweight SHELL LT storage pouch, sold separately.
• CE certification: Complies with current European regulatory requirements.
• Charging cable not included: A standard USB-C cable is required to recharge the CORE battery.
