Description
This is a handheld LED torch with a metal barrel and a rear push button, the switch sitting under your thumb rather than on the side. The pack rates it at 60 lumens, which is a working amount of light rather than a searchlight: enough to read a meter, find a fuse box or follow a footpath. The supplier specification gives the colour temperature as 4000K cool white, a clean neutral beam that shows true colour on wiring and labels better than a yellower light does. Two AA alkaline batteries are included, so it works the moment you open it.
The pack quotes a 25 hour runtime and a 30 metre beam distance, which tells you what to expect of it: a long, steady evening of use rather than a short burst of brightness. That suits a glovebox, a kitchen drawer, a workshop bench or a coat pocket on a winter dog walk. At 60 lumens it is comfortable indoors, where a much brighter torch bleaches everything it points at, and it still reaches far enough down a garden to find the shed door. The body is slim enough to hold in the same hand as a screwdriver.
The barrel carries a knurled band around the grip and around the head, which is the part you notice when your hands are cold or wet. The pack states a one metre drop rating, so a fall from a bench is accounted for. The manufacturer states no IP rating, so we cannot tell you how it copes with rain, and we would keep it dry. The supplier specification lists it as dimmable; the retail pack prints no dimming information, so treat the specification as the source on that point. Each unit arrives as a single torch with its two AA cells, and we sell them in multiples of six.

Frequently Asked
Are the batteries included?
Yes. The retail pack states that two AA alkaline batteries are supplied with the torch, so you can use it straight away.
How long will it run on one set of batteries?
The pack quotes 25 hours of runtime from the two AA alkaline cells supplied, working from a fresh set.
How far does the beam reach?
The pack gives a beam distance of 30 metres, which covers a drive, a garden path or a fair sized workshop.
Is it dimmable?
The supplier specification lists it as dimmable. The retail pack prints no dimming information, so that specification row is the only source we have.
Is it waterproof?
The manufacturer states no IP rating for this torch, so we cannot tell you how it handles water, and we would keep it dry.
What sort of light does it give?
The specification gives 4000K cool white, a neutral beam that renders colours cleanly rather than casting the yellow tint of a filament torch.
