Product features

Ledlenser work torches are built around practical features that make daily work easier and safer—especially usable beam control. Many models are designed to switch between a wide, even beam for close work and a focused beam for distance.

Beam control and task-friendly operation

• Wide flood for close-up work (labels, switchboards, cavities)
• Focused spot for distance checks (corridors, yards, perimeter scans)
• Simple controls designed for one-handed use and gloved operation

Modes, indicators, and signalling

• Multiple brightness levels to match tasks and manage battery use
• Lower modes for inspection without glare; higher modes for large spaces and outdoor work
• Battery/status indicators on many models to help plan charging
• Selected models include strobe or SOS for roadside work and incident response

If you need broader job-site illumination beyond a handheld beam, pair your torch with an area light such as the AF12R Work Floodlight. For heavy-duty site setups, browse Industrial Lights.

Performance

Professional lighting performance isn’t just peak lumens, it’s how the beam is delivered, how far it reaches, and how long it runs at usable outputs. Across the range, you’ll find approximately:

• Output: ~160 to 12,000 lumens (model dependent)
• Beam distance: ~50 to ~1,100 metres (model dependent)
• Runtime: ~5 to ~45 hours (mode and model dependent)

For most trades, a strong mid mode handles the bulk of the shift, with a higher mode available when you need extra distance or to overcome ambient light. Beam quality matters: a clean hotspot with usable spill supports awareness on busy sites, while smooth flood can reduce eye strain during close work.

For perimeter checks, rural property tasks, security patrols, or response work, consider a high-output search-capable option like the P21R Torch (up to 12,000 lumens, up to 1,100 m beam distance, up to 25 hours runtime, IP68). Pairing a long-throw torch with an AF-Series floodlight can create a versatile kit for both distance and area lighting.

Use cases

Electrical

• Controlled beam to avoid washing out detail in switchboards and cavities
• Helps with cable colour identification, label reading, and termination checks
• Carry/clip options for ladders and hands-busy work

Plumbing

• Water resistance for wet areas and crawlspaces
• Wide beam for under-sink and pipe runs; spot beam for deep cavities

Construction and site supervision

• Higher output for early starts, late finishes, and low-light zones
• Durability and IP rating for dust, rain, and impacts

Maintenance and inspection

• Adjustable output and beam control for plant rooms, corridors, and outdoor areas
• Predictable runtime can be more valuable than chasing maximum lumens

Emergency response and security

• High output, longer throw, and quick access to signalling modes
• Battery indicators and dependable charging routines help avoid downtime

If your work involves hazardous/explosive atmospheres, do not use standard torches. Use certified intrinsically safe equipment. Explore suitable options via Intrinsically Safe Headlamps and review site certification requirements.

Battery and charging

Power choice should match your work pattern. Rechargeable models suit daily use and help reduce ongoing battery costs; battery-operated options can suit remote work where swapping cells is easier than charging.

What to look for

• USB-C charging on many models for modern vehicles and site charging setups
• Magnetic charging on selected models for fast, reliable connection
• Well-spaced modes so you can reserve high output for when it’s needed
• Battery level indicators to plan charging before critical tasks

Design and build

Work lights need to survive conditions that break everyday torches. Ledlenser designs focus on durability, ergonomics, and protection against the elements—balanced handling, glove-friendly controls, and robust housings for repeated use and transport.

Understanding IP ratings

• IP54: protection against dust and splashes
• IP66: dust tight and protected against powerful water jets
• IP67: suitable for temporary immersion
• IP68: designed for submersion beyond 1 metre (under specified conditions)

Buying guide and tips

Match performance to your tasks and environment. Indoor service work often benefits from controlled beam and moderate output, while outdoor jobs and security work may demand higher output and longer beam distance. Consider how long you need the torch to run between charges or battery changes, efficient mid modes can be more useful across long shifts than short-lived maximum output.

Practical selection checklist

• Prioritise beam control if you switch between close detail and distance checks
• Choose an IP rating that fits wet, dusty, or exposed job sites
• Pick rechargeable vs battery-operated based on charging access and consumable cost
• Consider weight, grip, and carry options if it’s on you all day
• If you need to light a whole work zone, add an area light like the AF12R Work Floodlight

For maximum reach, consider a long-throw model such as the P21R Torch. For broader setups, browse all torches and Industrial Lights.

FAQ

What makes a work torch different from a regular torch?

Work torches are built for job-site reliability. They typically offer higher usable output, multiple power modes for battery control, beam patterns suited to close work and distance checks, higher dust/water protection (IP ratings), and practical features like battery indicators and task-friendly controls.

How many lumens do I need for professional work?

It depends on the task and space. Around 300 to 600 lumens suits close inspections and indoor trade work. Around 1,000 to 3,000 lumens suits construction and outdoor work. 5,000 lumens and above suits long-range search and high-visibility requirements. Beam quality and focus control are just as important as lumen count.

Are Ledlenser work torches waterproof?

IP ratings vary by model. IP54 suits dust exposure and splashes; IP66 is dust tight and resists strong water jets; IP67 handles temporary immersion; IP68 is designed for submersion beyond 1 metre under specified conditions. If you often work wet, choose IP66 or higher. For example, the P21R Torch is IP68 and the AF12R Work Floodlight is IP67.

How long do work torch batteries last?

Runtime varies by model and mode, commonly ranging from about 5 to 45 hours. High modes provide maximum brightness for shorter periods, while mid and low modes extend runtime for long shifts. Many rechargeable models charge via USB-C and include battery level indicators to help you plan charging.

Can I use these lights in hazardous environments?

Use only certified intrinsically safe lights in hazardous environments. Ledlenser offers intrinsically safe options engineered and certified for use where flammable gases, vapours, or dust may be present. Explore options via Intrinsically Safe Headlamps and verify your site’s required certification.

What should I do if my torch is faulty?

Check charging status, battery orientation, and selected mode (some settings reduce output to extend runtime). If the issue remains, stop using the light and contact Customer Care with the model name, proof of purchase, and a description of the fault.
