Industrial lights & torches for hazardous environments

Industrial lighting needs to perform consistently through dust, moisture, vibration and long shifts. In regulated workplaces where explosive atmospheres may be present, you also need certified hazardous-area lighting that supports site compliance—this is where intrinsically safe lighting comes in.

This range covers industrial torches, industrial headlamps and portable work lights for Australian conditions across mining, oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, construction and emergency services. You’ll find ATEX-rated torches and IECEx-certified lights in the EX and IL ranges, plus high-performance headlamps and work floodlights for non-hazardous tasks. Every product is backed by a 7-year warranty when registered, and free shipping is available in Australia on orders over $149.

Product features

Select industrial lighting based on worksite risks and requirements—not just brightness. In hazardous locations, certification comes first. Intrinsically safe lighting is designed to limit electrical and thermal energy so a light can’t ignite flammable gas or combustible dust under specified fault conditions.

For hazardous sites, start with the EX and IL ranges and the intrinsically safe headlamp collection.

For general industrial work where hazardous-area certification isn’t required, priorities often shift to beam control, durability, hands-free options and practical carry. Many torches and headlamps use precision optics and (on selected models) the Advanced Focus System to move from wide spill for close work to a tighter spot for distance checks-useful for inspecting plant, reading gauges, tagging equipment or walking dark access tracks.

• Multiple brightness levels to balance output and runtime
• Focusable or shaped beams for close-range and distance use
• Signalling modes such as strobe or SOS on selected models
• Battery status indicators on many rechargeable models
• Mounting and carry options such as clips, helmet compatibility and hands-free headlamp formats

For handheld inspection and callouts, browse work torches and flashlights. For area illumination, portable floodlighting can reduce shadows and improve team safety around plant and vehicles.

Performance

Compare industrial lighting using measurable performance aligned to how you work:

• Lumens: total light output
• Beam distance: how far useful illumination reaches
• Runtime: how long each mode runs (critical for shift planning)

Work floodlights for broad coverage

The AF work floodlights are built to light a work area (not just a line of sight), with outputs in the 1,000 to 8,000 lumen category and runtimes that can extend through long tasks depending on the setting. Two proven options are the AF8R Work Floodlight and the higher-output AF12R Work Floodlight. Both are rechargeable and IP67 rated for wet and dirty conditions.

Headlamps for hands-free work

Headlamps provide controlled beam patterns for close detail without losing peripheral awareness. The HF Series offers premium rechargeable performance (500 to 2,000 lumens, 130 to 220 m beam distance, and up to 90 hours runtime depending on model and mode). For a wider mix of battery and rechargeable options, the H Series spans 120 to 4,000 lumens, 100 to 330 m beam distance, and up to 65 hours runtime depending on model and mode.

Hazardous areas: compliance first

In hazardous locations, performance also means using the correct certified device for the correct zone and task. Always match the light’s marking and certification to your site’s hazardous-area classification and procedures.

Use cases

Mining and underground work

Mining demands reliable hands-free lighting, consistent runtime and robust sealing against dust and moisture. If the work area is classified as hazardous, choose a certified intrinsically safe headlamp or torch from the intrinsically safe headlamp collection. For non-hazardous underground tasks and surface work, the HF Series suits long shifts with premium rechargeable performance, while the H Series offers broader choice across outputs and power options.

Construction and heavy industry

Teams often need two lighting types: a handheld torch for directional inspection and a work light for area coverage. A work torch from work torches suits pre-start checks, confined access and distance checks. For shutdowns, workshops and bay coverage, consider portable floodlighting such as the AF8R or the higher-output AF12R.

Oil, gas and chemical processing

Where flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust may be present, hazardous-area lighting is a safety requirement. Choose intrinsically safe lighting certified for the zone and conditions. Explore options via the intrinsically safe headlamp collection, and always confirm markings and documentation against site requirements.

Emergency services and critical response

Emergency response needs reliable operation, simple controls and practical carry. A durable handheld torch supports rapid scene assessment, while a headlamp keeps both hands free for rescue tasks and equipment handling. For staging areas and work zones, rechargeable floodlights such as the AF8R or AF12R provide strong area illumination with portable setup.

Battery & charging

Battery choice affects operating cost, runtime planning and downtime. This range includes both battery-powered and rechargeable options. Rechargeable lights can reduce consumable costs and simplify top-ups between shifts or during vehicle travel. USB-C charging is common across many modern rechargeable models, and selected products also support magnetic charging accessories.

Runtime varies by model and output level. HF Series headlamps can run up to 90 hours depending on model and mode. AF-category floodlights can deliver approximately 14 to 60 hours depending on the light and output setting.

For fleet management, battery indicators and low-battery warnings help reduce unexpected failures. In industrial settings:

• Use lower modes for close work where high output isn’t needed
• Reserve boost/high modes for distance checks and critical tasks
• Charge on a routine schedule, especially before night shift or callouts
• Keep approved charging cables and spare power options aligned to site policies

For accessories, replacement batteries and charging options, check product pages and compatible parts. For help with magnetic charging cables or replacement battery guidance, contact ledlenser support.

Design & build

Industrial lighting must handle knocks, grime and weather without becoming difficult to use. Lights are engineered in Germany with practical ergonomics, durable housings and optical precision. Depending on the model, construction may include aluminium housings, sealed ports and impact-resistant lens designs intended for real jobsite handling.

Understanding IP ratings

Ingress protection (IP) ratings indicate dust and water resistance. The first digit relates to dust protection and the second to water protection:

• IP66: dust tight; protected against powerful water jets
• IP67: dust tight; protected against temporary immersion
• IP68: dust tight; designed for continuous immersion under specified conditions

The AF8R and AF12R work floodlights are IP67 rated for wet worksites, washdowns and dirty conditions where basic splash resistance isn’t enough.

Hazardous-area build requirements

For hazardous-area lighting, build quality also includes certified design controls aligned to ATEX and IECEx requirements for approved use conditions. Using a certified intrinsically safe light in explosive atmospheres is a safety and compliance decision.

Buying guide / tips

Start with compliance, then choose the light that best supports how you work.

1) Confirm hazardous-area requirements

If your site is classified for explosive atmospheres, select intrinsically safe lighting with the correct certification and rating for your zone. Begin with the intrinsically safe headlamp collection and verify markings and documentation against site procedures.

2) Choose the right format

• Headlamp for hands-free work, climbing, maintenance and inspections
• Handheld torch for directed inspection and longer-distance checks
• Work floodlight for area illumination, team tasks and reducing shadows

3) Match output and beam to the task

High lumens help, but beam shape and focus control often matter more for inspection quality. For long-distance visibility, consider beam distance. For close-range detail, aim for even spill and minimal harsh hotspots.

4) Plan for runtime and charging

For full-shift coverage, prioritise models with runtimes that suit your roster and charging systems that fit your workflow. For portable area lighting, compare the AF8R and AF12R based on required brightness and coverage.

FAQ

What does intrinsically safe mean for industrial lighting?

Intrinsically safe lighting is designed to limit electrical and thermal energy so the device cannot ignite flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust under specified conditions. Look for certification to recognised standards such as ATEX and IECEx and ensure the rating matches your site’s zone classification. For options, start with intrinsically safe headlamps.

What is the difference between ATEX and IECEx certification?

ATEX is a European certification framework for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. IECEx is an international certification system. In Australia, IECEx is widely recognised and ATEX-certified products may also be accepted depending on site requirements and documentation. Always confirm the exact certification and rating against your site compliance needs.

Which lights are suitable for mining and underground work?

For hazardous zones, choose certified intrinsically safe lighting via the intrinsically safe headlamp collection. For general mining tasks outside hazardous classifications, headlamps are often most practical for hands-free work. The HF Series offers premium rechargeable performance, while the H Series offers broader options across output levels and power setups.

What IP rating do I need for industrial work environments?

Choose an IP rating based on dust and water exposure. IP66 suits many outdoor and washdown environments. IP67 adds protection against temporary immersion for heavy rain, pooling water or wet handling. IP68 is designed for continuous immersion under specified conditions. For wet sites or frequent cleaning, IP67 or higher can improve reliability.

How long do industrial lights last on a single charge?

Runtime depends on the model and brightness level. Higher modes deliver more light but reduce runtime. As a guide, HF Series headlamps can run up to 90 hours depending on model and mode, while AF-category work lights can run approximately 14 to 60 hours depending on the light and output setting.
