What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
I got a blue version. The notched rotation to angle the light and access the battery to charge was almost impossible to turn. When it has been turned to access the battery, twisting it back into position was fiddly and very hard. It appears the lugs that slide through the notches are fractionally too large. I sent back to Petzl UK and they did not acknowledge the problem but sent a replacement. It was exactly the same. Maybe it is a batch issue if others work ok.
Secondly, the red light can only be turned on by starting with the white light. On the previous model you pressed & held the on button to get red: much better design.
That said it sits on the head comfortably and gives a good bright light etc.
I can only recommend it if the rotation mechanism works easily: check before purchase.

Hi Debbie, it needs a normal USB C cable to charge, it's very likely you already own one to charge your phone or laptop.
