Rechargeable torches suit daily use, as they are topped up instead of needing new cells; those here use lithium packs from 3.7V 600mAh to 7.4V 4Ah, several charging by USB-C. Battery torches take between one and four AA or AAA cells and suit occasional use or a kit bag. Check the listing, as batteries are often not included.
COB, or chip on board, packs many LED chips onto one panel to give a broad, even spread of light, which suits close inspection. SMD torches use separate surface-mounted LEDs. Both are listed here: COB models from 3W to 60W, SMD models from 3W to 20W, and twin-function lights that pair a COB panel with a second LED.
Lumens measure total light output. For close inspection, a penlight at 50lm or 280 lumens is enough and limits glare. A 180lm head torch or 500lm mini hand torch suits general workshop tasks, and the 10W adjustable focus torch at 1200lm suits yards and longer distances. Compare lumens, not watts, when a name gives both.
The head adjusts to change the beam from a wide flood for close work to a narrow spot for distance, so one torch covers both jobs. Adjustable focus torches on this page are rechargeable aluminium models with 5W, 10W and 20W SMD LEDs and a 60W COB LED, several of them charging by USB-C.
An intrinsically safe torch is built so that it cannot produce a spark or heat able to ignite flammable gas, vapour or dust. The one on this page is an ATEX/IECEx flashlight with a 3.6W SMD LED giving 120lm. Before using it in a hazardous area, check its certification marking against the zone classification for your site.
A head torch leaves both hands free. This page lists a 3W SMD head and hat torch giving 180lm and a rechargeable 3W COB 2-in-1 head torch with a wave sensor, which switches on and off with a pass of the hand, useful with dirty gloves. There is also a PIR sensor light at 80lm that switches on when it detects movement.
Torches
This category covers portable torches for inspection, maintenance and general workshop use. The Aluminium Torch page lists LED and COB LED hand torches, penlights and pen torches, adjustable focus torches, a head torch with wave sensor, a UV penlight with laser pointer, a wind-up torch, a PIR sensor light and an intrinsically safe ATEX/IECEx rated flashlight. Power ratings run from compact 0.5W penlights to a 60W COB model.
Brands include Sealey and Draper. Decide first between rechargeable models, many with USB-C charging, and torches that run on AA or AAA batteries. Then compare light output in lumens and beam type: adjustable focus suits both close work and distance, penlights fit a pocket for quick inspection, and a head torch keeps both hands free.
