Petzl Iko

The Petzl Iko headlamp is a lightweight and ergonomic device designed with an AIRFIT® headband and an ultra-thin lamp body. It offers 350 lumens of brightness with a weight of only 90 g, making it a versatile option for outdoor activities. It can also be transformed into a lantern using the included storage pouch and can be worn on the neck for added convenience. Additionally, it features a rear-worn energy source and a fold-flat design to reduce bulk. The headlamp comes with three standard batteries but can also be used with the CORE rechargeable battery thanks to its HYBRID CONCEPT design.

Features

Ergonomic and Comfortable with the AIRFIT® Headband (Petzl Patent):

• Designed with an innovative and streamlined structure, featuring a semi-rigid headband, an ultra-thin lamp body, and a rear-positioned battery pack. This design evenly distributes the weight of the headlamp, ensuring balance and exceptional comfort, making it barely noticeable when worn.
  
• The water-repellent headband effectively resists sweat and rain while maintaining a slim profile, significantly reducing contact with the skin and enhancing air circulation, particularly beneficial during dynamic activities.
  
• Equipped with a quick and simple rear adjustment system for effortless customisation.
  
  

Optimal Visual Comfort:

• Engineered to be both lightweight and powerful, delivering 350 lumens while weighing only 90 g.
  
• Features multiple LEDs that ensure an even and well-distributed illumination.
  
• Offers two beam types—wide or mixed—along with multiple white brightness levels to suit different lighting needs, including proximity lighting, movement, and long-distance vision.
  
• Provides three lighting levels that can be quickly and conveniently accessed using a single button.
  
  

Versatile and Easy to Use:

• Designed with HYBRID CONCEPT technology, the IKO® is supplied with three standard batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery. The lamp intelligently detects the power source and adjusts its lighting performance accordingly (IKO® with standard batteries: 350 lumens; IKO® with the CORE rechargeable battery: 500 lumens).
  
• Adaptable for various uses, allowing it to be worn on the head or around the neck, placed on a surface, or attached to a tent pole or tree.
  
• Includes a storage pouch that transforms it into a lantern when needed.
  
• Integrated reflective elements at the rear enhance visibility during nighttime activities.
  
• A battery charge indicator displays the remaining power each time the lamp is switched on or off.
  
• Features two LOCK functions to prevent accidental activation.
  
• Designed to fold flat into its minimalist pouch, reducing bulk for easy storage.
  
• Fully compatible with all Petzl helmets.

HOW IS LIGHTING PERFORMANCE MEASURED WITH THE ANSI/PLATO FL1 PROTOCOL?

	Brightness (lumens) This measurement is taken between 30 and 120 seconds after the headlamp is turned on. It indicates the maximum light output, when the lamp is first turned on, using new batteries.
	Lighting distance (meters) This is the maximum distance between the lamp and the location where only 0.25 lux of illumination remains. The measurement is taken when the lamp is turned on, using new batteries. Lighting distance depends directly on brightness, but mainly on the shape of the beam.
	Burn time (hours) This corresponds to the length of time during which lighting is optimal. It is measured 30 seconds after the lamp is turned on and for as long as the lamp takes to drop to 10 % of maximum light output.

Reserve lighting (outside the scope of ANSI/PLATO FL1) In addition to these measures, Petzl guarantees reserve lighting. Reserve lighting provides enough light for walking. However, the light may not be sufficient for fast-paced activities (such as running, mountain biking, skiing...).
