Whether you need to find your way around in the dark, or to search the bottom of your toolbox at night, a torch is a vital piece of kit for any professional. With the latest in modern LED technology, torches and personal lighting systems have become lighter weight, less expensive and longer lasting - not to mention more powerful.

Below we introduce some of the latest hand-held and hands-free torches available in the Portwest range. From small pocket sized Tactical torches to bigger units that could easily be described as light-cannons!

LED Pocket Torches

Designed to be small enough to fit into your pocket, but bright enough to not be a waste of time - here are 2 of the latest offerings available from XAMAX®.

HIGH POWERED POCKET TORCH - PA68

The PA68 by Portwest is an incredibly efficient pocket torch with outstanding brightness and a long run time considering it only requires a single AA battery. A knurled aluminium casing provides fantastic grip and resistance to impacts in heavy duty environments.

It has a compact design for portability in a pocket and comes complete with a removable belt clip, perfect for a uniformed professional.

LED Hand Torches

HIGH POWERED ENFORCER - PA61

Portwest's PA61 is a BEAST! The quite frankly staggering 800 Lumen beam from a single CREE LED can be focused to cast upto 500 metres - that's half a Kilometre (as if we needed to tell you).

Of course all that light comes at a cost in both weight and power, but three D batteries will still give you 40 hours of continuous use. The aluminium construction is water resistant and you get 4 different light functions: High beam, Medium Beam, Flash and SOS.

This unit is perfect for security personnel, rescue, law enforcement but can be useful for any professional who requires a long beam at night
