COB LED Head Torch
COB LED head torches produce a wide, even flood beam with no focal point and no shadows. A single chip covers the whole working area in front of you. Four modes include SOS, and the supplied batteries mean it is ready to use immediately on delivery.
How COB LED delivers better hands-free illumination than standard LED head torches
A standard LED head torch has multiple individual chips. Each one creates its own bright point and its own shadow pattern. In close-up work, reading plans, or inspecting connections, these shadow patches make the task harder than it should be. A COB chip produces one flat, even beam across the full working area. No hot spots. No shadows. Everything lit equally from the first press.
Key Features
-
COB LED technology: Single chip, wide-angle flood beam. Covers the full area evenly with no shadows or focal hot spots.
-
Four operating modes: High for maximum output and distance. Low for extended runtime. Strobe for high-visibility use. SOS for emergency signalling.
-
24-hour runtime: Low, Strobe, and SOS modes all run for up to 24 hours. High mode runs for 12 hours.
-
Batteries included: 3 x AAA alkaline batteries supplied. Ready to use on delivery.
-
Splash proof: Resists rain splash and light water exposure during outdoor use.
-
Lightweight: Comfortable for extended wear throughout a full shift.
-
Adjustable headband: Fits over safety helmets, hard hats, and bare heads.

Who is this for
This head torch suits trades professionals and site operatives who need wide-area hands-free illumination for close-up work carried out over long periods. The COB flood beam is particularly well suited to reading plans, inspecting components in service panels, and checking trench formations where even, shadow-free light across the full work area matters more than a focused spot at distance. The SOS mode adds emergency signalling capability for lone workers, remote site operatives, and outdoor responders.
Typical applications
-
Close-up electrical inspection and wiring in service panels, distribution boards, and cable trays where even shadow-free light improves accuracy.
-
Plan and document reading in dark or poorly lit site areas during night works and early morning shifts.
-
Groundwork and trench inspection in low-light conditions where the wide flood beam covers the full work area without repositioning.
-
Maintenance in confined service voids, roof spaces, and plant rooms requiring sustained hands-free lighting throughout the task.
-
Emergency signalling using the SOS mode during site incidents, remote location work, or lone operative situations.
-
Site navigation during early morning setup and late shift handover in dark or unlit areas.
-
Overhead installation tasks including cable fixing, bracket installation, and ductwork in poor lighting conditions.
How to use
Step 1: Insert the supplied 3 x AAA batteries into the compartment with correct polarity.
Step 2: Fit the headband and adjust the strap for a secure, comfortable fit over your head or helmet.
Step 3: Press the button once for High (150 lumens). Press again for Low (40 lumens). Press again for Strobe. Press again for SOS. Press again to switch off.
Step 4: Use Low mode for extended tasks. It provides 24 hours of run time and is sufficient for most close-up work.
Step 5: If you need to signal for help, press through to SOS mode. The torch holds the SOS pattern until pressed again.
Common mistakes
-
Running only on High mode throughout a long shift. Low mode delivers 24 hours of run time compared to 12 on High. For most close-up tasks, 40 lumens is sufficient.
-
Not adjusting the headband before starting work. A loose fit shifts the beam during movement and requires constant correction.
-
Cycling through modes quickly in the dark and accidentally activating strobe. Start from off, press once for High, then step down deliberately to the mode you need.
-
Leaving batteries in for extended storage. Remove for storage over one month to prevent contact corrosion.
Safety
Splash proof but not IP rated. Avoid sustained heavy rain exposure or submersion. No ATEX certification. Do not use in explosive or flammable atmospheres. Use SOS mode for genuine emergencies only. Unnecessary activation depletes the battery when it may be needed.
Maintenance
Wipe the head unit with a dry cloth after use in damp conditions. Keep the COB surface clean for maximum output. Remove batteries for storage over one month. Inspect the headband elastic regularly. Replace the torch if the band has significantly deteriorated or the housing cracks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is COB LED and how does it differ from a standard LED head torch?
A: COB stands for Chip On Board. Standard LED head torches use multiple individual chips, each producing its own bright spot and shadow pattern. A COB chip mounts all the emitters on one substrate, producing a single flat, wide-angle beam. The result is even coverage with no hot spots and no dark patches. For close-up work such as reading plans, inspecting connections, and checking trench formations, this shadow-free coverage is a clear practical advantage.
Q: What is this torch NOT suitable for?
A: It is splash proof but not rated to an IP standard. Avoid sustained use in heavy rain or wet conditions. It carries no ATEX certification and must not be used in explosive or flammable atmospheres. The wide-angle flood beam reaches a maximum of 19m. It is not designed for long-range spotlight or perimeter scanning work.
Q: What is the difference between the four modes?
A: High delivers 150 lumens with a 19m beam. It is used where maximum brightness and distance are needed. Low drops to 40 lumens and 12m, extending run time from 12 to 24 hours for sustained close-up tasks. Strobe cycles at 150 lumens for high-visibility use. SOS signals in the internationally recognised distress pattern, also running for 24 hours.
Q: What is the battery runtime in each mode?
A: High mode: 12 hours. Low, Strobe, and SOS modes: 24 hours each. Three AAA alkaline batteries are supplied. Keep a spare set for all-day or multi-shift use.
Q: Is it waterproof?
A: Lighthouse describe this torch as splash proof. It handles light rain and splash during normal outdoor use. It is not certified to an IP rating. Avoid sustained heavy rain exposure or submersion.
Q: Does it fit over a safety helmet or hard hat?
A: Yes. The adjustable elasticated headband fits over standard site helmets and bare heads. Adjust the strap before starting work and check that the band sits firmly before moving.
Q: Are batteries included?
A: Yes. Three AAA alkaline batteries are supplied with the torch. It is ready to use on delivery. Keep a spare set for long or consecutive shifts.
Q: How does this compare to the LED Head Torch (LEDRHT) in the CMT range?
A: The LEDRHT has a tilt-adjustable mount for directing the beam at a specific angle, which is useful for overhead and angled tasks. This torch uses COB technology for a wider, more even flood beam without shadows, delivers significantly more output (150 lumens vs 40), includes SOS mode, runs for 24 hours on Low, and includes batteries. For general hands-free illumination and longer runtime, this is the stronger option. For directional beam control, the LEDRHT is the better choice.
