The Samalite HL High-Quality Professional Head Torches provide some of the most powerful and unique rechargeable head work lights for industry in the world.
Head torches are perfect for when you need lighting on the go. You could use an average torch but this would occupy at least one of your hands. There are many scenarios that require illumination whilst freeing up your hands. The rechargeable head torches and high powered LED head torches that we provide have in the past proved invaluable for search and rescue operations and many more emergency and non emergency situations, giving the user the right tool for the job.
Samalite offer a choice of rechargeable head torches and high powered LED head torches that feature a choice of interchangeable heads that result in different beams, spot, wide and flood beam.

| Model | Beam Type | Max Lumens | Runtime (Battery) | Runtime (Powerbelt) | Battery Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HL600F | Spot/Flood | 3,600 | 11 hours | 29 hours | 205g |
| HL3XF | Flood | 3,600 | 11 hours | 29 hours | 205g |
| HL600W | Wide | 2,500 | 11 hours | 25 hours | 205g |
| HL1300W | Wide | 4,100 | 12 hours | 12 hours | 205g |
| HL3000W | Wide | 5,600 | 11+ hours | — | 750g (belt) |
Runtimes shown are for the low output setting, which provides the longest operating time. See individual product listings above for full runtime breakdowns across high, medium, and low settings. Powerbelt options (BPNM13 and PBL14.8) are available for selected models.
Hard hat-compatible head torches for structural inspections, night work, and confined-space access. The HL3000W (5,600 lumens) provides site-wide illumination, while the HL600F offers spot/flood versatility for detail work. All models mount securely to standard hard hats via the included headband system.
Compact, lightweight head torches for work in ceiling voids, switch rooms, and equipment cabinets. The BPLi-7 battery weighs just 205g, keeping the setup light enough for overhead work across full shifts. Powerbelt options move battery weight to the waist for improved comfort.
High-output, weatherproof head torches rated IP65 for operations in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Powerbelt configurations extend runtime to 29 hours for extended deployments, with outputs up to 5,600 lumens for maximum visibility.
Rechargeable head torches for track inspection, tunnel surveys, and maintenance work along rail corridors. Samalite head torches are used across Network Rail and similar infrastructure environments. See our Network Rail page for approved configurations.
Use the specifications and comparison table above to match a head torch to your working requirements.
Maximum Output
The HL3000W delivers the highest output in the range at 5,600 lumens on its wide beam head. Ideal for illuminating large outdoor areas, construction sites, and search and rescue operations.
Recommended: HL3000W — 5,600 lumens, wide beamVersatile Beam Options
Choose the HL600F for spot/flood versatility, or the HL3XF for dedicated flood coverage. Both produce 3,600 lumens and accept interchangeable beam heads so you can adapt to different tasks on the same shift.
Recommended: HL600F (spot/flood) HL3XF (flood) — 3,600 lumensWide-Beam Visibility
Wide beam heads prioritise a broad field of view, useful for walking between work zones, tunnel inspections, or tasks requiring awareness of your surroundings. The HL1300W offers 4,100 lumens wide; the HL600W delivers 2,500 lumens at a lighter output.
Recommended: HL1300W — 4,100 lumens, wide beamExtended Runtime
Select a model with a powerbelt option. The BPNM13 powerbelt extends the HL600F and HL3XF to 29 hours on low. The PBL14.8 Li-ION powerbelt powers the HL3000W for 11+ hours. Powerbelts are worn at the waist for improved comfort during long deployments.
HL600F HL3XF with BPNM13 — 29 hours on lowCommon questions about rechargeable LED head torches, beam types, runtimes, and choosing the right model.
This depends on where and how you work. The head torches in this range produce from 1,100 lumens (low setting on HL600W) up to 5,600 lumens (HL3000W on high). For close-range detail work such as wiring or inspections, 1,500–2,500 lumens is typically sufficient. For illuminating larger areas like construction sites or search operations, 3,600–5,600 lumens provides broader, more powerful coverage. Lower settings also extend runtime significantly.
A spot/flood head (marked "F") concentrates light for reach and focus, making it suited for directional tasks and longer-range illumination. A flood head spreads light evenly across a working area. A wide beam head (marked "W") prioritises peripheral visibility, lighting up a broader field of view. Samalite head torches feature interchangeable heads, so a single unit can be adapted for different tasks by swapping the beam head.
Yes. Several models offer powerbelt options (BPNM13 and PBL14.8 Li-ION) that extend runtime well beyond a standard shift. With a powerbelt, the HL600F and HL3XF run for up to 29 hours on low, and the HL600W runs for up to 25 hours. The powerbelt moves the battery from the head to the waist, improving comfort during extended wear while delivering significantly longer operating times.
Yes. Samalite head torches are designed to mount on standard hard hats using the included headband system. The lightweight BPLi-5 and BPLi-7 batteries weigh just 205g, ensuring comfortable wear over extended periods even when attached to a helmet. For longer shifts, the powerbelt option moves the battery weight from the head to the waist, reducing neck strain during prolonged use.
If you're moving frequently, balance output with comfort and runtime. The BPLi-7 battery at 205g keeps the headset light for overhead and mobile work. For longer deployments, the BPNM13 powerbelt (1,200g, worn at the waist) or the PBL14.8 powerbelt (750g) extend runtime without adding weight to the head. The HL600F offers the most versatility with its spot/flood interchangeable beam, while the HL600W wide beam provides the best peripheral visibility while walking or moving through a site.
Samalite head torches are rated IP65, providing full protection against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. They are designed to operate reliably in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, as well as environments with fuel or chemical exposure. The high-impact polyurethane housing and shatterproof polycarbonate lens provide additional durability in harsh conditions.
