Buying Flashlights for Your Company in the UAE (2026): What to Standardise On, and Which Models

Buying Flashlights for Your Company in the UAE (2026): What to Standardise On, and Which Models
|Olight

Acebeam L35 2.0 duty flashlight, a common choice for security teams, supplied in Dubai by Lumens

Updated 3 October 2026. Prices and stock checked on the day we published. Product figures are Olight's and Acebeam's published ratings.

Most of the people who buy from us want one light for themselves. A growing number write in for a team: a security company kitting out a new site, a facilities manager replacing a drawer of dead torches, a contractor who needs headlamps for a night shutdown, an oil and gas buyer asking for twenty of something. This page is what we tell them, so you can plan before you ask for a quote.

The short answer

Pick two or three models, not ten, one for each job your team actually does. Choose them on what they hold after a minute, not on the headline lumens. Standardise the battery and charging so cables and spares are interchangeable. Then email us the models, quantities and delivery location, and we'll confirm stock and timing before you commit.

We're an authorised Olight and Acebeam retailer based in Dubai. Every light we sell is genuine and covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and prices on our site are in AED and include 5% VAT.

Step 1: match the light to the job

These are the models we'd put on a company order today, by job. All are in stock in Dubai at the time of writing.

If your team works in classified hazardous areas, none of these are the right answer; see the section on Ex lights below. For more on each job, our security patrol guide and work lights guide go deeper.

Step 2: buy on the second number

Every torch is sold on its peak output, and every one of them steps down after a minute or two to stop overheating. For a team light, the number that matters is what it holds for the rest of the shift. The L35 2.0 holds 1,800 lumens for 90 minutes. The Perun 3 holds 800 lumens for 3 hours. The H35 settles at 1,100 lumens, then 500 for nearly 4 hours. Our turbo lumens table lists the sustained figure for everything we sell.

Step 3: standardise the battery and the cable

This is where team lights quietly fail. A mixed drawer of lights with three different cables and four battery sizes means half of them are flat when they're needed. Three rules help:

  • One charging system per team. USB-C lights (L35 2.0, TAC 2AA) charge from any cable on site. Olight's magnetic MCC cables are quick and tidy, but a light like the Perun 3 can't be charged without one, so buy spare cables if you choose it.
  • Swappable cells for 24-hour operations. The H35 (18650), L35 2.0 (21700) and T29 (21700) take a spare battery, so a light can be back in service in seconds while the flat cell charges. Lights with built-in or customised cells have to sit on the charger.
  • A fallback for vehicles. A light that also runs on AA, like the TAC 2AA, still works when it's been forgotten in a car for a month and nobody charged it.

Our batteries and charging guide explains the cell sizes, and the spare battery guide covers storing loose cells safely.

Step 4: water, drops and heat

For outdoor teams, look for IP68 or IPX8 and a published drop rating. Every light in the table above is rated IP68 or IPX8 except the TAC 2AA, for which Acebeam doesn't publish a rating, so keep that one for vehicles rather than the rain. Our IP ratings explainer covers the difference.

The bigger risk in the UAE is heat. Lithium-ion lights left in parked vehicles through the summer step down sooner and wear their cells faster. If lights live in vehicles, keep them out of direct sun or bring them in at the end of the shift. Our summer heat guide has the details.

Hazardous areas: Ex certified lights

None of the lights we stock are Ex certified, and neither Olight nor Acebeam lists an ATEX or IECEx flashlight. If a light will be used inside a classified zone, you need a certified Ex light, and an IP68 torch is not a substitute. Our explosion-proof flashlight guide explains why. For larger quantities we can look into sourcing certified lights: email us the certification, zone, gas group and quantity.

How to order for a company

Email seller@lumens.ae with:

  • the models and colours you want, and how many of each
  • where they need to be delivered, and by when
  • your company name and the paperwork your accounts team needs

We'll confirm what's in stock in Dubai and, for anything beyond that, availability and lead time before you commit. For smaller quantities you can simply order on the site: delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days, orders over AED 300 ship free, cash on delivery is available across the UAE, and you have 14 days to return.

Two things we don't supply: weapon-mounted lights, and brands other than Olight, Acebeam and Loop Gear. If you're comparing suppliers, our guide to buying genuine Olight and Acebeam in the UAE explains how to check you're getting the real thing.
