Hand lamps

Ready for action in every situation

In many work situations, there is no time for improvisation. Whether checking the tractor's rear attachment, putting on snow chains at dawn or in a workshop emergency by the roadside – the HELLA hand lamp is quickly to hand when you need it. It can be switched on with just one hand, is easy to hold and immediately provides bright light. It performs equally well both indoors and outdoors. The lamps are designed to work reliably even in hectic or uneven environments:

- Immediately ready to use in critical situations
- Easy to operate, even with gloves
- Reliable day and night

Light exactly where you need it

A good hand lamp doesn't just illuminate – it gets the light to exactly where you need it. HELLA hand lamps can be precisely aligned thanks to the holding magnet, rotating hook or fold-out stand. This leaves the second hand free, e.g. for working in the engine compartment or securing loads. The light cone is wide enough to provide an overview, but focussed enough for detailed work. Even in confined spaces – such as the engine room – HELLA lights provide a uniform, glare-free light pattern.

Hand lamps from HELLA:

- Flexible positioning for hands-free working
- Precise light distribution without glare
- Optimum size for tight, hard-to-reach places

Technology that makes the difference

LED technology with quality

HELLA relies on modern LED technology that combines bright, clear light with high energy efficiency. Colours are faithfully reproduced – an advantage when carrying out inspections or repairs. LEDs consume less power, generate hardly any heat and last for thousands of hours. Even in cold weather, light is immediately available at full strength, without flickering or delay.

Most important aspects:
- Energy-efficient and durable
- Immediately ready for use
- Clear, flicker-free light cone

Battery operation for full mobility

HELLA hand lamps are rechargeable which means you are no longer reliant on power sources. Ideal for flexible use around the vehicle, workshop or warehouse. The rechargeable batteries are powerful, quick to charge and provide light for several hours. A charging indicator means you can monitor the charge level during operation, charging options are suitable for the vehicle electrical system or workshop.

Advantages of battery operation:
- No wires
- Long operating time
- Intelligent charging management

Sophisticated operation

HELLA hand lamps are built for tough applications – even in the dark or when wearing gloves. Large switches, ergonomic shapes and non-slip handles ensure safe handling. Many models offer different modes, such as close-range or spot lighting.

Benefits at a glance:

- Ergonomic design
- Can be operated with gloves
- Light modes for every situation

Built for tough applications

Developed for harsh conditions

HELLA LED hand lamps are built for everyday professional use. They function reliably even when exposed to vibrations, dust, oil or extreme temperatures. Robust housings and high protection classes such as IP67 provide permanent protection of the light and technology:

- Protection against water and dust
- Withstands shocks
- Always functionally reliable

Safety in focus

Good lighting increases safety – especially when on the move. HELLA hand lamps make tripping hazards, tools or danger zones easier to see. This helps avoid errors and protects against injuries:

- More visibility = more safety
- Lower risk of accident
- Supports precise work

Frequently asked questions about HELLA hand lamps

Which hand lamp is right for my vehicle?

That depends on the intended use. For lorry or tractor drivers, we recommend robust LED hand lamps with magnetic attachment – ideal for inspection rounds and maintenance. Compact rechargeable hand lamps with variable light intensity are ideal for use in the workshop or warehouse. Important: All HELLA models are designed for continuous professional use and their proven quality shines through.

Tip: Use our hand lamp comparison to find the right model for your requirements.

What is the difference between a rechargeable hand lamp and a wired hand lamp?

With a rechargeable hand lamp the user is not tied to any particular location – which makes it ideal for mobile work or when there is no power source nearby. Wired versions are particularly suitable for workshop areas or fixed installation locations, as they are permanently ready for operation. Both HELLA types are characterised by high luminosity, durability and robust workmanship.
Our advice: For mixed use, a version with battery and charging station in the vehicle is recommended.

How long does the battery of a HELLA hand lamp last?

This varies, depending on the model and light level. Many HELLA rechargeable hand lamps last 4 to 8 hours – and significantly longer in energy-saving modes. The charging cycle is short so you don’t have to wait long before you can use it again. Some models have a charging indicator for better planning.

Professional tip: Charge the hand lamp overnight or while driving using a vehicle electrical system charging station.

Are HELLA hand lamps weatherproof?

Yes, many HELLA hand lamps are specially designed for outdoor use. They fulfil protection classes such as IP54 or IP67 and are therefore protected against dust, moisture and splash water. They continue to operate reliably even in rain, snow or cold. This makes them ideal for anyone who works outdoors – from winter maintenance to construction sites.

Important: Check the respective protection class in the product description.

Why choose an LED hand lamp instead of halogen?

A modern LED hand lamp offers many advantages: It is more energy efficient, produces a brighter and more uniform light and has a significantly longer lifetime. In addition, it hardly heats up, which makes it safer to use daily. At HELLA, we put our trust exclusively in high-quality LED technology that is optimised for professional use.

In a nutshell: More light, less consumption, longer use.
