Petzl says

With 750 lumens of power, NAO + sets the standard for challenging night activities! It is intelligent, programmable, and entirely devoted to performance. Thanks to the MyPetzl Light mobile app, athletes can consult their smartphone or tablet in real time to check remaining burn time, and adjust headlamp performance accordingly. Users simply download the profiles provided or create their own personalized ones. During activity, with REACTIVE LIGHTING technology, NAO + analyzes ambient light and instantly adjusts the brightness to the needs of the athlete. With energy optimized and manipulations reduced to a minimum, the athlete can concentrate on the activity!

Our Verdict

Petzl’s Reactive Lighting Technology used in their Nao Headlamp gets good reviews from users – it does seem to work – so, as Graham Thompson says, this does seem to be the future for headlamp technology. Petzl have also introduced the MyPetzl Light App so you can adjust your headlamp performance on your smartphone or tablet.
