Hands-free Lighting

 

Whether caving or undertaking outdoor activities in the dark, it’s important to be able to see clearly and have your hands free. Realizing this concept, Petzl invented first fully integrated head torch in the early 1970s and since then has always been at the forefront of research and development in the field. Ever the technological innovator, Petzl hands-free lighting addresses a multitude of needs: from the simplest applications to use in the most extreme outdoor environments.

Explorer LED 14

Caving helmet with 3 light sources: acetylene, halogen, and 14 LEDs.

The EXPLORER LED 14 combines the ECRIN ROC, a very durable helmet with webbing harness, with a waterproof hybrid light source, the FIXO DUO LED 14, and acetylene lighting. Used with the ARIANE acetylene generator, this combination is sure to satisfy the most demanding caver. The hybrid light source provides a choice of either a focused long-range beam with its halogen bulb, or flood beam for proximity lighting with its 14 LEDs. The latter light source offers three lighting levels and regulated lighting. This system provides a constant light until it switches to reserve power mode when the batteries become almost depleted.

Complete lighting solution:

  • durable and ventilated helmet
  • electric lighting is waterproof down to -5 metres

Two powerful electric light sources to choose from depending on the activity:

  • halogen light for long-range, focused lighting with regulated zoom
  • 14 LEDs for flood beam proximity lighting, with three lighting levels
    (maximum, optimum, economic)

Constant level of proximity lighting with a long burn time:

  • 14 LED regulated for a constant level of lighting until the batteries are almost discharged
  • automatically switches to reserve power mode when batteries are almost discharged

Acetylene lighting is smooth, even and economical:

  • multi-directional lighting
  • economical fuel source

Comfortable and easy to use:

  • on/off switch can be locked to prevent accidental operation
  • light body can be tilted
