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

WARNINGS

  • Carefully read the Instructions for Use used in this technical advice before consulting the advice itself. You must have already read and understood the information in the Instructions for Use to be able to understand this supplementary information.
  • Mastering these techniques requires specific training. Work with a professional to confirm your ability to perform these techniques safely and independently before attempting them unsupervised.
  • We provide examples of techniques related to your activity. There may be others that we do not describe here.

 

ANSI/PLATO FL1
Brightness (lumens).

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).

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).

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.

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...).

WATERTIGHTNESS AND IP RATING

A Headlamp's Watertightness is Ensured by its IP Rating

This rating classifies the level of protection offered by equipment against ingress by solids (e.g. dust) and liquids (e.g. water, oil).

 

Two Standards Govern the IP Rating

The IEC 60529 standard involves all electronic products, including headlamps. It defines the levels of protection against solids and liquids and describes the tests to be done depending on the product's IP rating.

The IP rating consists of two digits:

  • The first digit indicates protection against solids.
  • The second digit indicates protection against liquids. More commonly called watertightness.

Rating

1st digit (tens)

Protection against solids

2nd digit (ones)

Protection against water ingress with harmful effects

0

No protection

No protection

1

Protection against solids greater than 50 mm in diameter

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 1.

Protection against vertically falling water drops

2

Protection against solids greater than 12.5 mm in diameter

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 2.

Protection against water drops (15° from vertical)

3

Protection against solids greater than 2.5 mm in diameter

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 3.

Rain

4

Protection against solids greater than 1.0 mm in diameter

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 4.

Protection against spraying water

5

Protection against water jets

6

Completely protected against dust

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 6.

Protection against powerful water jets

7

-

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 7.

Protection against temporary immersion

-1 meter for 30 minutes

8

-

Watertightness test on Petzl headlamp - 8.

Protection against prolonged immersion; duration and depth defined by the manufacturer

 

Note: When a criterion has not been tested, the number is replaced by X (e.g., IPX6 indicates that the product has not been tested for solids).

 

ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standard defines an additional concept by giving test acceptance criteria for the IPX4, IPX7 and IPX8 ratings.

IPX4 The lamp functions just after the test and 30 minutes after the test.

Water drops allowed in the lamp after the test, provided there is no short-circuit or electrical fault.
IPX7 The lamp functions just after the test and 30 minutes after the test.

No water allowed in the lamp after the test
IPX8


To define a headlamp IP rating, a manufacturer can rely solely on the IEC 60529 standard by defining its own test acceptance criteria, or use the acceptance criteria given in the ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standard.

 

What Watertightness Tests are Done on Petzl Headlamps?

To claim an IP rating on its headlamps, Petzl chose to do its testing internally. Petzl follows the test protocol defined in the IEC 60529 standard and the test acceptance criteria from the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard.

Petzl has a test laboratory (oscillating tube, water tank and watertightness chamber) that allows the necessary tests to be done in order to determine the watertightness of a lamp.

What are the IP Ratings of Petzl Headlamps?

  • All of our headlamps are at least IPX4 (weather resistant): a rating suitable for most headlamp use in rain, snow or a humid environment.
  • The e+LITE® lamp is IPX7 (watertight to -1 meters for 30 minutes in fresh water).
  • The DUO S lamp is IP67 (watertight to -1 meters for 30 minutes in fresh water and dust tight).

 


 

WHAT IS AN IK RATING?

The IK rating, as defined by the IEC 62262 standard, indicates the degree of protection against external mechanical impacts. In other words, the impact resistance of a product. The rating is composed of two numbers, each corresponding to a level of protection.

PETZL PROTOCOL FOR VALIDATING IK RATINGS

  • A 500 g mass falls onto a headlamp from a height of 40 cm.
  • The four sides of the headlamp are impacted. The headlamp must remain intact and functional after the test.

IP PROTECTION INDEX AND EMC

The IP protection index is an international standard. This index classifies the level of protection offered by equipment against intrusions by solids (e.g. dust) and liquids (e.g. water, oil).

How do you read the protection index?

Example: IP 67

  • The first number indicates protection against solid objects.
  • The second number indicates protection against liquids.

The IP 67 notation therefore corresponds to a completely dustproof product that is protected against the effects of immersion in liquid.

Note: When a criterion has not been tested, the number is replaced by X (e.g., IP X6 indicates that the product has not been tested for solids). The IP protection index is an international standard. This index classifies the level of protection offered by equipment against intrusions by solids (e.g. dust) and liquids (e.g. water, oil).

BEAM QUALITY

Aside from the various beam patterns, it is important to check their uniformity. Whatever the pattern, the beam of a Petzl headlamp is always uniform and therefore comfortable. Moreover, to ensure optimal lighting, the optics of our headlamps are designed with extreme precision and equipped with the highest-quality components.

The quality of the beam is totally dependent on that of the LEDs and of the optics' design. The latter is complex and requires the knowledge of an optical engineer. Petzl chose long ago to integrate these skills into its research and development teams, and also to work closely with external laboratories.

Petzl Headlamps

Uniform beam

Perfectly uniform beam: no dark spots, irregularities or blinding spots to impede visibility and reduce visual comfort.

The Beams of other Headlamps

Blinding beam

Presence of a central bright spot: blinding

Beam defect

Presence of visual defects: lack of precision, discomfort, fatigue
