The Petzl Pixa 3 Headlamp is a rugged and versatile lighting solution designed for professional use in demanding environments. It offers three distinct lighting modes to adapt to various tasks:
- Close-Range Work Mode: Provides a wide, uniform beam with a range of up to 15 meters for 12 hours, delivering 30 lumens.
- Movement Mode: Features a mixed beam combining a short-range homogeneous beam with a focused component, allowing comfortable movement in dark areas. It illuminates up to 45 meters for 6.5 hours, offering 60 lumens.
- Long-Range Vision Mode: Delivers a concentrated beam with a range of up to 90 meters for 3.5 hours, providing 100 lumens.
The headlamp utilizes Constant Lighting technology, ensuring consistent brightness throughout the battery life. When the batteries are nearly depleted, it automatically switches to a reserve mode, emitting 10 lumens for a minimum of 13 hours. A battery status indicator alerts users to low battery levels through repetitive flashing and a red light.
Designed for durability, the Pixa 3 withstands drops from up to 2 meters, impacts, and crushing forces up to 80 kg. It is waterproof to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes (IP67), requiring no maintenance after immersion. The headlamp is also resistant to various chemicals, making it suitable for hazardous environments. It is certified for explosive atmospheres (ATEX zone 2/22) with the marking II 3 GD Ex nA ic IIB T4 Gc tc IIIC T135°C Dc.
The headlamp can be worn on the head with the adjustable elastic band, attached to a helmet using the included mounting plate, or placed on the ground. The lamp body can rotate 180 degrees to protect the lens and prevent accidental activation during storage. The ergonomic rotary switch is operable even with gloves, and the comfortable, washable headband is easily removable. The headlamp operates on two AA/LR6 batteries (included) and is compatible with alkaline, Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, and lithium batteries. Using lithium or Ni-MH batteries can double the autonomy while maintaining the same lighting performance.
