The v42 has two main LEDs. A focused spot LED and a wide angle flood LED with optic.  In normal operation the v42 has four factory default power settings (see following table). The v42 also has a separate side LED (white smd LED) for maximum run time, and battery charge level indication visible without removing helmet.

The factory default light settings are;

 

  1. low flood - hands and knees caving !
  2. high spot - route finding in  large passages
  3. medium flood - general progression around cave
  4. high spot and high flood - if you really must !!

 

see Operation chart including light output and indicative run times

To switch between the settings, use the down switch on the Petzl Duo. Switch on-off-on-off to move between settings 1-2-3-4 ... 1-2 etc, in a looping sequence. Setting 1 will blink momentarily when selected to make it very easy to determine exactly which setting has been selected. 

Operating the switch very quickly, on-off-on ('double switch') will turn on low power side smd LED. At this point, the main LED will blink 1 to 5 times to indicate the approximate level of battery charge.  This is visible without removing helmet for maximum convenience.

The v42 can be programmed using Customduo infrared remote control (optional). From 1-9 light settings can be specified, and the level of light provided by the spot and/or flood LEDs for each setting can be configured by the user.

 

The spot and flood LEDs can be operated separately or blended together. Each LED can be operated at low, medium, medium plus, high and maximum, offering a choice from 24 possible light combinations
