While the 2023 Western States 100 livestream commentators and camera operators may not have appreciated my Petzl Nao RL ($170) beaming into their tired eyes at 4:30 a.m. as I crossed the finish line, I can't think of a better public endorsement for this headlamp.
With an actual weight of 5.2 ounces (146 grams) and producing up to 1,500 lumens of cool, white light, this headlamp packs a lot of power and brightness into a relatively small, lightweight package.
This headlamp has a few different lighting modes, including standard and Petzl's Reactive Lighting. Reactive Lighting means that the headlamp's brightness and beam automatically adjust according to surrounding ambient light - growing dimmer when there's more ambient light and brighter when there's less.
