Princeton Tec Vizz II – 200 Lumens – Intrinsically Safe – ATEX Zone 0
The Princeton Tec Vizz II is a technically advanced headlamp, specifically designed for professionals working in explosion-hazardous and high-risk industrial environments. This device stands out due to its stringent safety certifications, allowing it to be used safely in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dust particles are present. Whether in the petrochemical industry, gas facility maintenance, or confined space inspections, the Vizz II provides a reliable light source where safety is the top priority.
The Vizz II is designed to meet the strictest international safety standards:
- Intrinsic Safety: Certified for Zone 0, Class I Division 1. This guarantees that the lamp cannot under any circumstances act as an ignition source in explosive atmospheres.
- Classifications: ETL Rating for Classes I, II, III, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups A-G. Features Temp Code T4.
- Light Output & Optics: Delivers up to 200 lumens with a range of 60 meters. The lamp combines a powerful spot beam for long distances with a wide flood optic for close-range work.
- Power Supply: Runs on 3x AAA batteries (included). This allows for quick battery replacement in the field without relying on charging stations.
The design of the Vizz II is fully tailored to real-world industrial use:
- Glove-Friendly Interface: Equipped with an extra-large control button, making the light easy to operate while wearing work gloves.
- Stepless Dimming: Both the spot and flood functions can be dimmed continuously by holding down the button, allowing for precise light level adjustment and energy savings.
- Digital Lockout: Features an electronic lockout function (press and hold for 5 seconds) to prevent accidental activation during transport or storage.
- Durable Construction: Weighing just 92 grams and featuring IPX7 water resistance (submersible up to 1 meter), the light withstands the toughest working conditions.
Thanks to the included accessories, the Vizz II is immediately ready for use in various work contexts:
- Standard Nylon Headband: For immediate, comfortable use on the head.
- Rubber Helmet Strap: Specifically designed for a slip-resistant attachment to safety helmets.
- 3M Dual Lock: For semi-permanent mounting on various surfaces or helmets without straps.
Light Modes (on alkaline batteries)

- Flood Low: 2 lumens / 10m / 102 hours runtime (+ 6 hours reserve)
For safe operation and maximum lifespan of your Princeton Tec Vizz II, we recommend the following:
- Battery replacement: Replace batteries only in a safe environment; never do so in an area where there is a risk of explosion. Always use three identical, new batteries of the same brand.
- Inspection: Before use, check the integrity of the housing and seals. A damaged lamp loses its intrinsically safe status.
- Lockout function: Activate lockout mode after your shift to prevent the batteries from draining due to accidental activation in a toolbox.
- Cleaning: Remove chemical residues or dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the plastic housing or the certification markings.
The Princeton Tec Vizz II is a technically sound and essential tool for professionals who cannot compromise on safety. The combination of Zone 0 certification, continuously dimmable optics, and rugged IPX7 construction makes this a superior choice for the industrial sector. The objective assessment is that the Vizz II, backed by a 10-year warranty, is an extremely reliable investment for anyone working in environments where lighting must meet the highest safety standards.
