Petzl PIXA 3 head torch E78CHB-2, ATEX

The Petzl Pixa 3 head torch is a top-quality product. This ATEX head torch has a maximum light output of 100 lumens and a range of 90 metres. The great thing about the Petzl Pixa 3 is the two different LED lights. One LED is for a wide beam and the other is for a focused beam. They can also be used at the same time.

This makes the head torch highly versatile. The wide beam is ideal for tasks within a close proximity. The combined light beam is perfect for moving around in the dark, because it allows you to see up close as well as far away. The highly focused beam is perfect when you need far-reaching illumination.

Switching between light modes is easy with the rotary knob. Even while wearing gloves. The Constant Lighting Technology guarantees that the light intensity doesn’t decrease as the battery runs out. As soon as the battery is about to run out, the Petzl Pixa 3 switches to a backup light mode.
