Ledlenser Hand Lamps: Made in Germany
Ledlenser hand lamps are made in Germany, provide exceptionally bright light and are available as torches, inspection lights, lanterns and explosion-proof lamps. They are suitable for both personal and professional use.
What types of hand lamps are available?
Hand lamps are categorised into torches, work and inspection lights, lanterns and special lamps such as explosion-proof lamps or laser torches.
1. Work and inspection lights
Work lights are designed for craft, industrial and technical activities. They produce a wide beam of light and can be positioned so that you have both hands free.
- Work lights with floodlighting: provide even illumination of workbenches, engines or machinery. Many models feature magnetic bases, metal hooks, swivel joints or folding stands for attaching them to car bodies, steel beams or shelves. Suitable models: W7R Work, W6R Work
- Inspection lights: slim, rod-shaped lights for illuminating confined spaces such as engine blocks, pipework or control cabinets. Suitable models: W2 Work, Workers Friend
- Area lights: portable floodlights with a stand, hanging hook or tripod thread. They illuminate entire rooms or outdoor areas and achieve luminous fluxes of between 2,000 and 8,000 lumens. Suitable models: AF4R Work, AF12R Work
- Angled lights: lamps with an angled head and a chest clip that you can attach to your jacket. Some of these models are ATEX-certified and feature swivelling heads for precise alignment. Suitable models: EXC7R, EXC6R
Many of Ledlenser’s work and inspection torches are rechargeable, feature lamp heads that can be rotated by 180° to 270°, and have housings with a non-slip rubber coating to ensure a secure grip even in wet conditions.
2. ATEX-certified hand-held torches
ATEX-certified hand-held torches are mandatory where there is a risk of explosion, such as in refineries, chemical plants, mills or silos. These torches are designed so that they do not generate ignition sources such as sparks or hot surfaces.
ATEX lamps are gas- and dust-tight, feature impact-resistant housings and large, sealed switches that can be operated even when wearing gloves. Rechargeable and disposable batteries must not be changed or charged within Ex zones.
3. Torches
Torches are generally compact, portable hand-held lamps that produce a focused beam of light with a long range. There are various designs and technical variants:
- All-round and EDC (Every Day Carry) torches: compact models for everyday use. Suitable models: P5R Core, P6R Core
- Mini and keyring torches: very small torches with a built-in rechargeable battery or battery-powered, suitable for walking across a car park, through a multi-storey car park or searching the footwell of a car. Suitable models: K4R, K6R Safety
- Searchlights: High-performance torches with a tightly focused beam for long distances, e.g. for search operations or illuminating terrain. Suitable model: XP30R
- UV torches: combine ultraviolet and visible light to make fluorescence visible, for example when searching for leaks in cooling systems, after car accidents, or for verifying the authenticity of banknotes. Suitable models: P7R Work UV, W7R Work
- LEP torches (Laser Excited Phosphor): use laser light to generate an extremely concentrated beam with a range of over 1,000 metres, suitable for technical inspections or rescue operations. Suitable model: P9R Core LEP
Ledlenser torches feature multiple brightness levels, focusing mechanisms between spot and floodlight modes, shock- and splash-proof housings, as well as wrist straps or clips for securing the torch.
4. Lanterns
Lanterns provide an even, all-round light and are ideal for stationary lighting when camping, in workshops or during power cuts.
- 360° all-round light: even illumination of tents, camping tables or work surfaces.
- Suspension and mounting: via integrated hooks, eyelets or magnetic bases, some with a removable stand for stability on smooth surfaces.
- Light colour: adjustable between cool white light for cooking or playing and warm white light for cosy illumination.
- Power supply: via integrated lithium-ion batteries, rechargeable via USB-C cable. Some models feature a power bank function for charging external devices.
Features of handheld torches
Ledlenser handheld torches offer numerous features: stepless adjustment of brightness and colour temperature, various light colours and UV or laser light, emergency light function, operation with batteries, rechargeable battery or both, mounting options and IP protection against water and dust.
- Light control on handheld torches Brightness levels and dimming: Many handheld torches have several brightness levels or a stepless dimming function. This allows you to adjust the light output, providing a very bright beam or saving energy. Typically, there are three to five brightness levels, often supplemented by a boost mode for maximum brightness over a short period.
- Focusing: Some torches use systems such as the Advanced Focus System to adjust the beam continuously between spotlight (focused long-range light) and floodlight (wide-angle close-range light).
- Light distribution: Work lights produce diffused light with a wide beam angle, whereas torches produce focused light with a long range.
- Colour temperature: Some models offer colour temperature adjustment (Tunable White) between warm white and cool white light. Warm white (below 4,000 Kelvin) is used for more neutral, eye-friendly lighting, whilst cool white (above 5,000 Kelvin) is used for detail-oriented work.
- Additional colours: Certain handheld torches feature red, green or blue light modes. Red light preserves night vision, whilst green and blue light are used, for example, in forensic investigations, hunting or for visualising fluorescent substances.
Special features of handheld torches
- UV light (black light): UV torches use ultraviolet LEDs to make fluorescent materials visible. This is used for leak detection on refrigeration pipes, for identifying liquids such as oil or petrol, or for verifying the authenticity of documents and banknotes.
- LEP technology: Laser Excited Phosphor (LEP) produces extremely focused white light with a long range of over 1,000 m. This technology is used for search and rescue operations or technical inspections over long distances.
- Emergency light function: Some models activate automatically when they are in the charging station and a power cut is detected. This means the torch serves as an emergency light without you having to switch it on manually. Suitable model: P5R Work
- High colour rendering (CRI ≥ 90): Torches with a high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) reproduce colours faithfully. This is important, for example, during paintwork, electrical installations or quality control, when you need to identify colour differences accurately.
- Backup or reserve mode: Some hand-held lamps automatically reduce brightness as the battery level drops to ensure a remaining runtime of around one hour. Suitable models: P7R Signature, P6R Core
Power supply and charging systems
- Battery power: Most handheld torches use lithium-ion batteries, which offer high energy density and are lightweight. Charging is usually via USB-C, Micro-USB or a magnetic charging system that requires no exposed contacts.
- Battery operation: Some models use standard batteries (AA, AAA, CR123A) when no charging facility is available. These torches are suitable as backup lights or for emergencies.
- Dual power source: Many models support both battery and rechargeable battery operation. This means you can switch between the two power sources without having to replace the torch.
- Power bank function: Certain lanterns and work lights have a USB port that allows you to charge external devices such as smartphones or radios.
- Charge indicators: Rechargeable hand-held torches usually feature multi-stage LED indicators or coloured status lights to monitor the charge level and charging time.
What are hand-held torches used for?
Hand-held torches are used in everyday life, but particularly in the workplace, by emergency services, in trades, industry, on construction sites, and for maintenance and technical inspections.
1. Emergency services, fire brigades and civil protection
Hand-held torches are an integral part of the equipment used by emergency services such as fire brigades and civil protection teams. They are used in the dark, in smoky conditions or during power cuts for navigation, searching for people and assessing damage.
- Search and rescue: high-powered torches and searchlights for locating people in rubble, wooded areas or buildings.
- Damage assessment: Illuminating accident sites, building damage or technical installations.
- Equipment checks: Inspecting devices and cables during power cuts or emergency operations.
- Trace detection: UV lamps for visualising leaked fluids such as oil, diesel or coolant.
- Chest and angle lights: Attached to protective clothing to keep hands free.
- LEP torches: targeted illumination of distant objects or signalling over long distances.
2. Trade, Industry and Workshops
In the trade sector, hand-held lamps are used to provide precise illumination of work areas, machinery and components.
- Car workshops: Inspection lamps for the engine compartment, wheel arches or underbody.
- Assembly work: Work lamps with magnetic bases for attachment to steel beams or machine housings.
- Electricians: Headlamps or hand-held lamps for working on switchboards and wiring where no ambient lighting is available.
- Painting and quality control: Lamps with a high colour rendering index (CRI ≥ 90) for assessing colour tones, surfaces or cable markings.
- Industry: robust, chemical-resistant models for inspecting equipment where solvents and lubricants are present.
3. Maintenance, inspection and technical checks
In maintenance and testing processes, hand-held lamps are a standard tool for illuminating equipment, systems or components, thereby enabling them to be examined in detail.
- Machine inspection: checking seals, welds or bearings.
- Plant monitoring: regular visual inspections of pumps, valves or pipework.
- Vehicle inspection: light for visual inspection of brake lines, axles or exhaust systems.
- Building services: illumination of shafts, false ceilings or ventilation systems. Thanks to their slim design and magnetic mounts, inspection lights can also be used in hard-to-reach shafts or recesses.
4. Camping, outdoor activities and leisure
In leisure settings, torches are used for night-time walks, night hikes, checking tents or campervans, for outdoor and survival exercises, or for hobbies such as fishing or hunting.
- Camping lanterns: stationary all-round lighting in the tent, under the awning or in the motorhome.
- Torches: lighting for night-time trips to toilet facilities or when checking around the vehicle.
- Red light mode: preserves night vision when reading or for night-time orientation in the countryside.
- Power bank function: Charging mobile phones or GPS devices via integrated USB ports.
5. Everyday life and emergencies
In private life, torches are used for night-time checks around the house and garden, for example after bad weather, storms or heavy rain. They are also used during power cuts or when working in the cellar or outbuildings.
- Home and garden: Lighting for the basement, attic, tool shed or fuse boxes.
- Power cuts: Use of the emergency light function on lamps with automatic activation in the charging station.
- Stairwells and driveways: Brief lighting on the way to the front door or when unlocking the door.
- Car breakdowns: Visual inspection of tyres, the engine compartment or the underside of the vehicle in the dark.
- Walks and dog walking: Visibility and orientation on unlit streets or forest paths.
Hand-held lamps – Frequently asked questions and answers
What types of hand-held lamps are there?
Hand-held lamps can be divided into four main groups: torches, work and inspection lights, lanterns and ATEX hand-held lamps.
What does the term ‘lumen’ mean in relation to hand lamps?
Lumen (lm) describes the total luminous flux, i.e. how much visible light a lamp emits. The higher the lumen value, the brighter the light appears.
What does the IP protection rating mean for hand lamps?
The IP protection rating indicates how well a lamp is protected against dust and water. The higher the rating, the better the lamp is protected.
What does CRI mean for hand lamps?
CRI (Colour Rendering Index) describes the quality of colour rendering. A CRI value of 90 or higher means that colours appear very natural, just as they would under daylight.
