It also means you don’t need to switch between modes on the move, instead the head torch does it for you. The switch between brightness levels isn’t drastic or distracting, but it is sensitive enough to adapt to small changes in surrounding light. That said, if the budget is a major concern then the ACTIK remains a very solid choice for the all-round user. I think I read this thread when originally looking for the SWIFT RL, they do seem to have a good caving rep, I have honestly just found the reactive mode really useful and not sure I would choose a torch without oneAt only 100g, the 900-lumen light uses rechargeable 2350 mAH lithium-Ion batteries with an impressive life. Basically, that’s a very powerful light that can run for a long time. For example, if you were running across dark fields, it would automatically use a higher-powered light. This would immediately drop if you ran into a well-lit area. This helps you conserve battery. Two beam patterns (flood or mixed) give lighting for proximity vision, movement and distance vision

Spare battery available for long expeditions, or simply to switch out the battery when it dies (SWIFT RL rechargeable battery available as an accessory)Ergonomic and adjustable headband provides the ideal fit, with split construction (Petzl patent); the headband can also be detached and washed Further advice from Petzl is that to extend burn time a bit further you can point the lamp at your feet slightly more than usual. The reactive technology dims the beam but then gives you the brightness if you look up a little. This does work well. We’ll start off the ‘Features’ section where we ended the previous one. The Swift RL’s ‘Reactive Lighting’ technology results in a longer burn time (or battery life), and requires less manual adjustment. The light sensor automatically adjusts brightness and beam pattern depending on the current level of light in the environment. This optimises battery usage and keeps the head torch going for longer. If you’d prefer something a bit more traditional, you can switch to a ‘Standard Lighting’ mode. To go into “standard” mode you need to hold down the button for longer. Then you press through three brightness beams. In reality, I found it easier to switch off the torch and then hold down the button for a longer duration to switch mode. The three standard beam outputs are: 10, 200 and 550 lumens.

Going to give a very unhelpful answer, which is that when I was choosing between the Swift RL and the NAO+ I ended up choosing the Fenix HM65R. Haven't regretted it yet.
