01 / 16 · Tactical dual-beam
DayLighter™ Dual-Beam Tactical Torch with Case
Start with the rechargeable battery. The AAA adaptor is the emergency backup; keep it and the charging cable in the case.
-
01
Fit one power source
Unscrew the body and fit the supplied Li-ion battery to the + / − markings. Use the AAA adaptor only as an alternative power source—never alongside the Li-ion battery.
-
02
Charge before the first trip
Connect the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable. Leave the torch on a dry surface until the charge indicator shows it is complete.
-
03
Choose spot or flood
Use the main switch to cycle the white-light modes. Adjust the head to move from a wide flood for nearby work to a focused spot for distance.
-
04
Use the side light deliberately
Cycle to the ambient side light for a tent or work area, red for preserving night vision, and strobe only for emergency signalling.
-
05
Use the powerbank
Connect a compatible phone cable to the output port. Replace the port cover after use to protect it from grit and moisture.

-
02
Remove the old pair

Use two fresh batteries of the same brand and type. Follow the + / − marks inside the body.
-
04
Close and test

03 / 16 · Medium rubber / RT5149
Vellcom™ Medium Rubber Torch – 3 or 7 LED
The 3-LED and 7-LED Medium torches are set up in the same way. Both use two D batteries.
-
01
Open the base
Switch off, place the torch on a dry surface and turn the end cap anti-clockwise.
-
02
Remove both D batteries
Tip the body gently and catch the batteries. Check the compartment for leakage, corrosion or damp.
-
03
Load two fresh D batteries
Follow the + / − markings and keep both batteries the same brand, type and age. If a battery is not sitting flat, stop and check its direction before closing the cap.
-
04
Seal and test
Turn the cap clockwise until secure. Press the button and check that every LED in the head illuminates.


04 / 16 · Large rubber / RT5150
Vellcom™ Large Rubber Torch – 3 or 7 LED
The Large is the longest rubber-bodied torch and uses three D batteries. Support the body on a flat surface while changing them.
-
01
Lay the torch flat

02
Remove all three batteries
Slide the D batteries out one at a time. Inspect the long compartment and spring before reloading.
-
03
Fit three matching D batteries
Follow every + / − mark. The middle battery is easy to reverse, so check all three + / − markings before closing.

04
Close without forcing
Engage the threads squarely, tighten clockwise until snug, then press the push button to test the selected 3- or 7-LED head.


05 / 16 · Compact AA torch
Compact Everyday LED Torch
This rubber-coated everyday torch uses AA batteries. Follow the quantity and + / − markings inside its own battery carrier.
-
01
Read the carrier first
Open the battery end and check the diagram inside before buying or fitting batteries. Use these markings for both the number of batteries and their direction.
-
02
Fit one matched set
Use a complete set of fresh AA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types.
-
03
Seat the cap squarely
Start the cap gently so the threads do not cross, then tighten until the body closes without a gap.
-
04
Press once to test
Use the single button for on / off. If the beam flickers, re-seat the batteries and check that the cap is fully home.


06 / 16 · Mini focus / RT5146
Vellcom™ Focus Mini COB Torch
This 110mm model takes three AAA batteries and has an adjustable beam. Before first use, remove the plastic transport tab if one is fitted.
-
01
Unscrew the tail cap
Turn the base anti-clockwise. On first use, check for a clear disc or paper strip between the batteries and the contact.
-
02
Remove any plastic transport tab
Pull it out completely before switching on. The tab prevents accidental activation in transit and is not refitted.

Clip it safely
Use the carabiner on a belt, bag or tent loop. Make sure the clip closes fully and does not press the power button.

04
Set the tripod
On the tripod version, open the legs on a level surface and seat the light firmly before aiming it.
-
05
Use tools unlit
Switch the lamp off before using the bottle opener or window-breaker point so the lens stays away from the work.


09 / 16 · Ultra-flat emergency light
Magnetic Flat Pocket Torch
This 4mm magnetic light is momentary by design: it stays on only while you hold the button.
-
01
Place or hold it
Grip the edge, or attach the magnetic back to a clean steel surface such as a fridge, toolbox or bonnet.
-

Press continuously
Hold the button for light. The switch does not latch; releasing it turns the dual LEDs off.

03
Store it flat

-
02
Fit the strap
Place the lamp centrally on the forehead and shorten the strap until secure without pressure.

03
Aim before switching on
Tilt the lamp down toward the path or work surface so the first bright mode does not dazzle another person.
-
04
Cycle the three modes
Press for bright, low and strobe. Use low for close work and strobe only for emergency visibility.
-
05
Dry before charging
After rain or exercise, wipe the lamp and port area and allow them to dry before connecting USB-C.


11 / 16 · Foldable inspection light

Choose the light source
Use the control to select the broad inspection panel or the end flashlight for a narrow gap.
-
03
Set the angle
Fold the head through the needed angle; stop at its natural positions rather than forcing the hinge.
-
04
Mount hands-free
Place the magnetic base on clean steel or use the hanging hook. Tug gently to confirm it is secure before releasing.
-
05
Dim for reflective work
Reduce the COB output around polished engine parts or mirrors to cut glare and extend battery life.

Clip onto a firm edge
Push the clip fully over a cap brim, strap, pocket or book cover so the light cannot twist free.
-
03
Aim before selecting a mode
Point the COB panel away from faces, then press the control to cycle through its lighting settings.
-
04
Use the lowest useful mode
A lower mode is better for reading and close tasks; brighter settings suit walking or work areas.
-
05
Remove before washing
Unclip the light from clothing, caps or bags before washing or soaking them.
