The PETZL PIXA 3 is an compact, intrinsically safe head torch. It has three settings, one wide flood for work on tasks close at hand, a mixed beam with a focus component for moving around and a focused beam for long range. It is water resistant and my be used in some environments where an explosive mix has a small chance of forming but would exist only for a short period. The PIXA 3 automatically switches to reserve power mode when batteries are low to lengthen working life. Depending on the need, it may be worn on the head, mounted on the helmet, or placed on the ground.
