Flashlight / Headlamp
Also known as
Torch (UK/AU), Work Light, Head Torch, Headlamp
Used for
Working in unlit loading docks, inside road cases, under stages, and in the dimmed house during focus or rehearsal. A headlamp keeps both hands free — the preferred choice over a handheld torch for any two-handed work.
Trade note
"Torch" is the British and Australian English term. On a production call, a headlamp is almost always more useful than a handheld flashlight — you need both hands to handle cable, hardware, and tools simultaneously.
