The Petzl Aria 1 and Aria 2 is a rugged AAA-compatible LED headlamp built for hikers, campers, cavers and trail workers who want dependable, waterproof light with flexible power. The Aria 1 puts out 350 lumens and the Aria 2 steps up to 600 lumens, both projecting a wide, uniform flood beam that lights the whole scene in front of you rather than a narrow spot, all from a compact 105 g (3.70 oz) unit that runs on standard AAA batteries.
Our gear specialists hand-picked the Aria series for its combination of toughness and versatility. Rated IP67 waterproof and IK07 impact-resistant, it shrugs off rain, drops and short submersion, while Petzl's HYBRID CONCEPT lets you swap between three AAA batteries and a rechargeable Core battery pack depending on the trip. With a neutral 6000 to 7000K beam color, it is a headlamp you can trust for everything from a campground chore to a long night on the trail.
Should you pick the Petzl Aria 1 or Aria 2?
The two models share the same rugged body and features; the difference is brightness. The Aria 1 delivers 350 lumens, which is plenty for camp tasks, cooking, reading and moderate-paced hiking on established trails. The Aria 2 doubles down with 600 lumens for faster movement, rougher terrain, or throwing usable light further ahead at night. If you mostly need light around camp and on marked paths, the Aria 1 is enough; if you push into night hikes and technical ground, the Aria 2 earns its extra output.
How rugged is the Petzl Aria headlamp?
Both lamps carry an IP67 rating, meaning full dust protection and the ability to be submerged in 1 m of water for 30 minutes, plus an IK07 impact rating that certifies survival of a 2 m drop. The wide flood optic spreads a uniform beam that reduces harsh shadows, and the neutral 6000 to 7000K color temperature keeps colors and contours natural. At 105 g with batteries installed, the weight stays low enough for all-day wear.
What batteries does the Petzl Aria headlamp use?
The HYBRID CONCEPT is the standout: the same lamp accepts three AAA batteries or a clip-in Core rechargeable pack. That flexibility lets you carry cheap, widely available AAAs as a failsafe on remote trips while using the rechargeable Core for everyday value. In economy mode the Aria runs for 100 to 110 hours, and at maximum output it holds for about 2 hours, so you can balance brightness against burn time on any given night.

Petzl Aria FAQ
How many lumens are the Petzl Aria 1 and Aria 2?
The Aria 1 produces 350 lumens and the Aria 2 produces 600 lumens. Both use a wide, uniform flood beam suited to camp chores and trail travel. Choose the Aria 1 for general camp and path use, and the Aria 2 when you want more reach and brightness for night hiking or rough terrain.
Is the Petzl Aria waterproof?
Yes, the Aria is rated IP67 waterproof. That means it is fully dust-tight and can be submerged in 1 m (3.3 ft) of water for up to 30 minutes without damage, so it keeps working through heavy rain, stream crossings and accidental drops into water.
What batteries does the Petzl Aria use?
The Aria uses Petzl's HYBRID CONCEPT, so it runs on three standard AAA batteries or a rechargeable Petzl Core battery pack. This lets you carry easily replaced AAAs on remote trips while using the Core for everyday, cost-saving rechargeable power.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on the mode: the Aria delivers 100 to 110 hours in economy mode and about 2 hours at maximum power. This range lets you stretch a set of batteries across multiple nights on low, or run bright when you need maximum visibility.
How much does the Petzl Aria weigh?
The Aria weighs 105 g (3.70 oz) with batteries installed. That keeps it light and comfortable enough for hours of wear on the head, whether you are hiking, working around camp or exploring after dark.
