Custom Head Torches and Work Lights
A head torch or work light earns its keep the moment both hands need to be free for the job at hand, whether that's fixing something under a car, working in a loft, or navigating a dark site after hours. This small but focused range covers that need with two genuinely practical options from GearX, both built from RCS recycled plastic.
Whether you're sourcing a branded head torch for a trades team, a custom work light for site safety kits, or a corporate safety gift for staff working in low light conditions, there's a fit for purpose option here.
Head Torch
The Gear X RCS rPlastic heavy duty head torch frees up both hands entirely by mounting directly to the head via an adjustable strap, making it well suited to any task where holding a torch simply isn't practical. This makes it a genuinely useful corporate safety gift for anyone working in low light, whether that's tradespeople, site staff, or outdoor teams needing reliable hands free lighting.
Comparing a head torch vs handheld work light, a head torch directs light exactly where the wearer is looking, which is ideal for close, detailed tasks like wiring, plumbing, or reading in the dark. A handheld work light instead needs to be held or positioned separately, which can limit hand availability but often allows for a wider or more adjustable beam angle depending on where it's placed.
Pocket Work Light
The Gear X RCS recycled plastic USB pocket work light 260 lumen offers a compact, genuinely portable alternative to a head torch. At 260 lumens, this pocket work light provides a solid, practical brightness suited to close range tasks and general illumination, giving a clear, usable light output without stepping into the bulkier heavy duty torch category. As a general guide, a good lumen output for a work light in this pocket sized format sits in the low hundreds, enough for close, practical tasks, while considerably higher lumen counts are generally reserved for larger, dedicated floodlights or heavy duty torches designed for wider area coverage.
Choosing Between a Head Torch and Pocket Work Light
The right choice largely comes down to the task. For best hands free lighting for DIY, a head torch keeps both hands completely free throughout a task, making it the stronger choice for anything requiring sustained close work like repairs or building. The pocket work light suits shorter tasks or situations where a light needs to be set down, clipped, or handed to someone else temporarily, giving more flexibility in how it's used moment to moment.
USB Rechargeable Convenience
Both products in this range are USB rechargeable work light options, removing the ongoing cost and waste of disposable batteries. Charging is straightforward: connect via the USB port to any standard power source, such as a laptop, power bank, or wall adapter, and allow the internal battery to fully charge before first use.
RCS Recycled Plastic
Both the head torch and pocket work light are built from RCS certified recycled plastic, verifying a genuine, audited percentage of recycled content in the material rather than an unverified sustainability claim, giving a traceable environmental credential alongside genuine practical function.
Branding Your Head Torch or Work Light
Both products offer a clean, flat casing surface well suited to a printed or laser engraved logo, giving good visibility whenever the light is picked up or worn.
