Description
This is a single focusing torch from Duracell, with an LED head rated at 550 lumens on its highest setting. The head twists to move the beam between a wide, close flood and a tight spot that throws light down the garden or the lane, so one torch covers both jobs without swapping tools. The body is matt black with a copper coloured bezel and a knurled midsection that gives a firm grip in a gloved hand. A broad tail cap lets it stand upright on a flat surface.
At 550 lumens it is brighter than the small torches that live in a kitchen drawer, and it suits the jobs where a phone light gives up: checking a fuse board, walking a dog on an unlit footpath, looking under a car bonnet or up into a loft. The focus earns its keep indoors, where a wide flood on the low setting fills a whole cupboard without bouncing glare back off white paint and packaging. Outdoors, the narrow setting is the one to reach for. It is a sensible thing to keep in a van, a shed or a hall cupboard.
The retail pack states three light modes, high, low and strobe, so the switch cycles rather than simply turning on and off; low is the setting to use when you want the cells to last, and strobe is there for signalling. Three AAA cells are supplied with the torch, as the pack indicates, so it works straight out of the packaging. Duracell prints no runtime figure and no IP rating, so neither is listed above. Each unit is one torch, and the minimum order is eight, sold in multiples of eight. We also stock the Duracell 350 lumen focusing LED flashlight if you want a lower output.

Frequently Asked
How do I change the beam from flood to spot?
The head slides and turns to focus the LED. Twisting it one way spreads the light into a wide close flood, and the other way pulls it into a tight, far throwing spot.
What do the three light modes do?
The pack states high, low and strobe. High gives the full 550 lumens, low draws less from the cells for close work, and strobe is a rapid flash intended for signalling.
What batteries does it take, and are they included?
It runs on three AAA cells, and the retail pack indicates that a set is supplied with the torch, so you can use it without buying anything else first.
How long will it run on one set of cells?
Duracell does not print a runtime figure for this torch, so we do not list one. Expect the low setting to last considerably longer than the full output setting.
How many torches do I get when I order?
One torch per unit. The minimum order on this line is eight units, bought in multiples of eight, so the smallest order is eight separate torches.
