REVIEW: The Petzl NAO RL - Light and Bright

[@mazatlan79P]

Failed to mention one super handy feature: R1 battery can be used as a power bank to top USB-C powered accessories. It also allows you to charge it up from external power bank, while torch is in use. Along with backup red LED lamp- thats TWO less things to lug around :) My unit survives Sutherland, Scotland weather too- Great job Petzl!

That extreme use case…rain in the UK mountains… looks good kit though

Shy of the monsoon season, it’s the ultimate wet weather test of a product’s performance 😅

Missing the battery runtime for 300lm, 800lm and 1500lm. You just said 16 hours on mixed adaptive mod but that's a bit misleading because of the obvious reason.

[@ukclimbingofficial]

I would argue otherwise, because if you only use it in reactive mode - which is what 99% of people buying this torch will use it in - then those are the figures that matter the most to people.

​@@ukclimbingofficial does that mean you don't know the battery runtime for those modes or you don't want to reveal it?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

Neither, I know it - and have written it all up in the review - I’m just saying that the information you’ve requested is meaningless as it doesn’t bear relation to the actual times you get in reality. Here’s a link to the written review, where we compare the NAO RL to the Black Diamond Distance 1500 and Silva FREE: www.ukclimbing.com/gear/camping/lighting/performance_headtorches_-_petzl_nao_rl_silva_free_and_black_diamond_distance_1500-15561
