Great compact head torch
I purchased this as I wanted a compact head torch for use whilst out hiking. Features I looked for were:
1) A recarchable battery with power gauge and not requiring a dedicated charger so it could be recharged in car or from a power brick.
2) Resonable life
3) Lightweight & Easily packable, robust and compact idealy with intigrated battery so not having to deal with cables
5) Bright with a good beam pattern to allow distance and closeup work
6) Smart lighting so you don't have to keep fidling with settings
I considered the Petzl Nao - more expensive bulky to pack, Petzl Iko - bulky to pack, no smart lighting, Olight (various) fixed narrow beam now smart lighting. The Swift RL seemed the best comprimise for my needs and I've been very happy with my purchase. So far used for a couple of night walks, some DIY and a bit of cave exploring (nothing serious this is NOT suitable as a dedicated caving light).
