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.
