Torches

69 products · Site Lighting

Hand torches are used to light up where light is missing or insufficient: on site, in workshops, in loft spaces and in maintenance work. LED torches are light, use little power and stay lit for a long time.

Types available

  • Manual aluminium torches
  • Rechargeable LED torches, also with tripod
  • 18 V tool-system cordless torches, sold without battery
  • Head torches and pen lights rechargeable via USB
  • Torches with side light and magnetic base

How to choose

Brightness, battery life, impact resistance and the type of power supply matter: batteries, rechargeable battery or the battery of the tool system already in use. For hands-free work head torches are more convenient. If you already work with cordless tools, choosing a torch compatible with the same system lets you use the batteries and chargers already available on site.

The catalogue includes Stanley and DeWalt products. For models and availability, request a quote from AMES Srl.

Frequently asked questions: Torches
What is an LED work torch used for on a building site?

An LED work torch lights up dark or poorly lit areas, such as loft spaces, service voids, the back of an electrical panel or the space under a piece of furniture during maintenance. Torches with a side light or a magnetic base leave your hands free and can stay attached to a metal structure while you work.

Which standards apply to portable torches used at work?

There is no single standard to cite for every torch: what matters is the protection rating against dust and water that the manufacturer gives with the IP code followed by two digits. If you work in dusty, wet or weather-exposed environments, choose a model with suitable protection and check it on the datasheet before buying.

Which factors matter when choosing a work torch?

The main factors are brightness in lumens, battery life at maximum and at minimum output, impact resistance and the type of power supply, which can be disposable batteries, a rechargeable battery or a power tool battery. Examples in the collection include the XHP50 EcoFlow rechargeable aluminium LED torch and the Big Larry 2 Nebo LED torch, to be compared on their product pages.

When do I need a portable emergency light instead of a torch?

A portable emergency light stays on standby and switches on by itself when the power fails, lighting a whole room: it is useful in a plant room or on a site where a blackout would stop the work. A hand torch or head torch, on the other hand, is for aiming the light at a precise spot while you work.

How do I use an LED torch safely on a site or in a workshop?

Check that the torch is charged before climbing a ladder or entering a void, and hold it so that it cannot fall onto moving parts or sharp edges. Do not point the beam into other people's eyes and do not use it near flammable gases or vapours unless the model was designed for such environments.

Which torches are suitable for camping or home emergencies?

For camping, a lantern with a lithium battery and good battery life is the best choice, such as the EcoFlow 400 lm LED camping lantern with lithium battery, which lights the tent or the pitch. For home emergencies it is useful to keep a portable lamp at home on charge, ready to use when the power goes out.

Which torches do technicians who work with cordless tools use?

If you already use 18 V cordless tools, the collection has power tool battery torches, sold without a battery, so you can use the battery you already have. Besides these, head torches are useful, as they leave your hands free when working in tight spaces such as electrical panels, suspended ceilings or loft spaces.
