Security torches: What you need to know

Flashlights for security are used by event security, property guards, patrol services, railway security, plant security and other services to provide a reliable source of light. Torches are an important tool for security services to identify potential threats, for security checks such as bag and document checks, and to be able to act more quickly in an emergency.
To make this possible, a torch used for security purposes should be weather-resistant, robustly constructed and offer high brightness.
Our tip: Door staff are part of the security personnel, but they do not usually need tactical torches. In many cases, penlights are sufficient for searching bags or checking ID cards or tickets, for example.
At Ledlenser, you can find the right penlights for you: P2R Core, P4R Core, P2R Work and P4R Work.

What features should security torches have?

Security staff need a reliable and robust torch. The most important features are:
  • Bright and dimmable light
  • Adjustable light beam (close-range/long-range)
  • Shock resistance and water resistance
  • Long battery and rechargeable battery life
  • Additional operating modes such as strobe for self-protection

Illumination in close-up and long-distance areas with adjustable light cone


The light cone is sometimes responsible for illuminating the surroundings. A highly focused light cone produces a concentrated beam of light in the distance, which can be used to spot potential hazards or search for people. The wide cone of light is suitable for illuminating the surroundings in order to search the area or carry out checks. Modern flashlights combine both components in one by having an adjustable light beam. This means that security services do not have to carry several flashlights to illuminate close and distant areas. This allows security personnel to react more quickly to changes in the environment.

Bright and dimmable light

The light from the security torch should be bright enough for night duty. Torches with a luminous flux of 500 lumens or more are suitable for this purpose. It is helpful if the light can be dimmed in several stages for switching between patrols, bag checks and document checks.
The dimmed light extends the burn time due to the reduced energy consumption and ensures that the light intensity is comfortable and does not strain the eyes.

Impact resistance and water resistance in wind and weather

A robust flashlight is always an advantage, as there is always the possibility of the torch falling down during use. To be more resistant to knocks and falls, an aluminum housing is a good choice. In addition, security services work in different conditions such as rain, snow or storms. Waterproof lamps prevent moisture or water from penetrating the inside of the lamp and damaging it. We recommend a model that is at least IP64-certified so that splashing water in the form of rain or snow cannot harm it.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries with a long service life

Operations often last several hours or the whole night, which is why the battery or rechargeable battery of a security flashlight should have a long service life. LED flashlights that are powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries offer various advantages:

  • Batteries: Security services that use flashlights with batteries have the advantage that they are immediately ready for use as soon as the appropriate batteries have been inserted.
  • Rechargeable batteriesRechargeable flashlights can be easily recharged with power banks. This means that security services do not have to carry spare batteries with them.

 

Various lighting modes

In addition to the dimming function, many Ledlenser security torches offer additional lighting modes:
  • Power: Full power of the torch with maximum luminous flux
  • Strobe: Fast flashing light function to disorient attackers
  • Memory function: Torch starts in the last selected lighting mode
  • Flicker-free: Uniform, eye-friendly light
