Hand flashlight ANSMANN TA500BF — SMD LED 5 W, AAA battery, IP44, black, aluminium/plastic housing

ANSMANN TA500BF is a compact black hand flashlight with a 5 W SMD LED producing around 470 lm. The torch combines an aluminium and plastic housing for a balance of lightness and strength, offers IP44 splash protection and is powered by AAA batteries for portable use in outdoor and everyday situations. It includes a belt clip for easy carry and provides up to 10 hours of runtime depending on batteries and mode.

Advantages

The aluminium/plastic construction keeps the flashlight lightweight while improving impact resistance in daily use. The 5 W SMD LED delivers a bright 470 lumen beam suitable for most close-range tasks. AAA battery power makes replacement convenient and the IP44 rating protects against splashes and light rain, increasing usefulness outdoors and in damp environments.

Suitable for

• Outdoor activities such as camping and evening walks
• Everyday tasks around the home and workshop
• Emergency lighting and power outages
• Car boot or glovebox use

When it may not be suitable

This flashlight is not intended for professional tactical or industrial use where higher-impact resistance, waterproofing beyond IP44, or rechargeable high-capacity battery systems are required. Brightness and runtime depend on the type and condition of AAA batteries used, so performance will vary.

Key specifications

• Light source: SMD LED, 5 W, approx. 470 lumens
• Body material: aluminium and plastic
• Power supply: AAA batteries (user-supplied)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash resistant)
• Colour: black
• Approximate runtime: up to 10 hours (depends on batteries)
• Carry: belt clip included

How to use

Insert fresh AAA batteries according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment. Use the power switch to turn the flashlight on and off and cycle through any available modes if present. Aim the beam where needed; the aluminium head provides basic heat dissipation during extended use. After use, switch off the torch and remove batteries if storing for long periods to avoid leakage damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Check whether AAA battery power and the listed runtime meet your usage needs
• Consider whether IP44 splash protection is sufficient for your outdoor conditions
• Decide if a rechargeable or higher-impact-rated flashlight is needed instead

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality alkaline or NiMH AAA batteries and store the flashlight in a dry place. Regularly check and replace batteries as needed, and avoid prolonged submersion since the unit is splash resistant, not waterproof.
