Torches
A quality torch or flashlight is essential kit for outdoor use across Australia and New Zealand — whether you're hunting, tramping, driving remote tracks, or need a reliable light for emergency situations. At Dwights, we stock Nitecore and Ledlenser as authorised dealers, two of the most trusted names in high-performance rechargeable LED torches.
Handheld Torches vs Head Torches
Handheld torches deliver a powerful, directional beam and are the preferred choice for hunting, signalling, and situations where you need to direct a concentrated light to a specific target. For hands-free use while tramping, setting up camp, or working in the dark, a head torch is the more practical option. Many outdoor users carry both.
What to Look for in a Torch
- Lumens: Output is measured in lumens. For general outdoor use 200–500 lumens is practical. For long-range hunting use, 1,000+ lumens with a tight beam is preferable.
- Beam distance: Measured in metres — important for hunting and search applications where you need to identify objects at range.
- IP rating: IP67 or IP68 means fully waterproof. Essential for NZ and Australian conditions where rain is unpredictable.
- Rechargeable vs battery: Rechargeable USB-C torches reduce running costs on extended use. Battery torches offer flexibility in remote locations.
