Petzl Pixa

[Space Kadet]

Hello,

Has anyone in cave space tried to use a Petzl Pixa underwater? and if so how deep?

Hi,
I have a Pixa 3 I use as a spare light. Usually it will sit in the petzl bag made for it on my belt. I have opened after trips without to much water (a couple ducks) to find it wet inside. So I'm guessing not too watertight. Bit that's just my experiance.

It appears from Petzl's own web site that the Pixa comes in four flavours, but that all 4 are rated IP67.

Watertightness: IP 67, waterproof to -1 m for 30 minutes, no maintenance required after immersion

Joe09, If I was having water ingress problems on an IP67 product i would be taking it back...  :-\

i have done sump 1 in swildons, changed the batteries the other side then come back through again without any problems

Thank you

Hmmm, I should probably look into that a bit more and see why it was leaking.
Cheers

My pixa hasn't leaked in shallow ducks plus an experiment in the pond so you may have a dodgy one.
