    Emergency Torch Lights

    Top picks for you

    An emergency torch light is a torch that is kept in a wall mount so it is there when the lights go out. The three Dolphy torches here are anti-theft wall mounted torches that switch on when you lift them from the mount and switch off when you put them back. They run on standard batteries that are not included, and none of them lists USB or cradle charging, so they are not rechargeable torches. The Giantz work lights are the rechargeable ones: they charge over USB, and one of them needs an 18650 battery, which is not included.

    How to choose an emergency torch light

    Start with where it will live. For a hotel, office or other commercial building, the Dolphy wall mounted torches are the match: each lists an anti-theft mount and a cradle that fixes to a wall or sits in a drawer. Then check the batteries and run time, because the three differ: two list up to 120 hours and the third lists up to 3 hours on a full set. If you want a light you carry to the job, the Giantz work lights fold or stand on a rotating base, and two of them list a magnet.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is an anti-theft wall mounted emergency torch?

    It is a torch that sits in a mount fixed to the wall, built so that it is not easy to walk off with. The Dolphy listings describe an anti-theft wall mount with an automatic switch: the torch lights when it is removed from the mount and turns off when it goes back.

    Are these wall mounted torches rechargeable?

    The three Dolphy torches are not listed as rechargeable. They run on batteries that are not included: 3 x AA, 2 x D or 4 x AAA depending on the model. The Giantz work lights are the rechargeable ones, charging over USB, and one of them needs an 18650 battery that is not included.

    How long does an emergency torch run?

    The two black Dolphy torches list up to 120 hours, and the silver one lists up to 3 hours on a full set of batteries. Of the Giantz work lights, one lists 3 to 4 hours, one lists 5 to 8 hours and the one with a hook lists no run time.

    Does the torch switch on by itself?

    The Dolphy listings say it switches on automatically when you lift it from the wall mount and off when you return it. They do not say that it switches on when the power fails, so think of it as a torch that is ready in its mount rather than a light that detects a blackout.

    Can an emergency torch go in a drawer?

    Yes. Each of the three Dolphy listings says the cradle can be fixed to a wall or placed in a drawer.

    For the rest of a blackout kit, the emergency radios include hand-crank and solar models with a built-in power bank.

    To keep things charged when the power is out, see portable solar panels and generators.

    Bike lighting is a separate range: the rechargeable bike lights run from 500 to 10,000 lumens, in single headlights and front-and-tail sets, charging over USB or USB-C.
