A versatile and portable LED torch / worklight system designed for patrol, inspection and emergency work situations.
WHY IS THE K8 SO POPULAR AS A HANDHELD PORTABLE WORKLIGHT?
K8 LED Light Modes
The K8 LED can be set up in two basic modes, torch mode and work light mode.
Torch mode: allows the user to carry the unit with the extension arm and head folded down and locked in position.
Worklight mode: allows the user to site the unit in a suitable position on the ground or on a tripod/ higher surface where the arm can be unlatched and swung up and into position. The light head can then be turned in either direction and the angle can adjusted as required.
K8 LED Light Management
The unit features a rotating vari-focus system to allow a tightly focused spot beam or a diffused flood of light so any working environment can be catered for. Rotate the bezel on the front of the K8 clockwise to gradually diffuse the light and anti clockwise to increase the spot intensity. As the diffuser gradually passes over the LEDs you’ll notice the projected light pattern change and the intensity of the spot disappear but the intensity of the wide flood increase.
THE K8 WORKLIGHT FOR WORK AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
A Portable Worklight that gives ultimate power, control and performance
A Torch and Worklight in one! The K8 LED is a versatile and portable LED torch / worklight system designed for patrol, inspection and emergency work situations. This product design represents the latest technology in LED portable lighting and is designed to be virtually maintenance free and robust enough to deal with the rigours of a harsh work environment.
The K8 LED is designed so that it can be run and charged at the same time should this be necessary, the on board charger provides enough power to charge as well as maintain power to the light at the same time.
The head can then be turned in either direction and the angle can adjusted as required.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE K8 PORTABLE LIGHTING SOLUTION
Weatherproof
The K8 LED is also weatherproof with an IP rating of IP66.
Battery Options
Three battery options are available offering a choice of duration including lead acid, a light weight lithium ion battery, and an extra long life lithium ion battery.
Flexible Arm
The K8 LED is fitted with a universal flexible arm. This allows the light output to be focused to the exact point required when undertaking any task. The arm will rotate through 120 degrees from the horizontal. The head will rotate through 360 degrees and pivot through 180 degrees.
LED mode selection
To change between modes, K8 uses a waterproof membrane to allow switching of 100% power, 66% power, 33% power, SOS flash and strobe modes.
DC charge rack as standard
The K8 LED comes with a DC charge rack as standard (mains adaptor as an optional extra). The rack has a stable base to allow desktop use, or it can be separated to give the option of bulkhead mounting to a wall. The K8 LED charge rack also includes a safety locking mechanism which retains the K8 against accidental removal; this can also be locked closed with a padlock if required to prevent removal. The unit will recharge in the rack from any DC power source ranging from 10 to 30V.
8 Ultra Bright LEDs
Fitted with a graduated patented focus system, the light output can be blended from a high power penetrating beam to diffused ‘shadow free’ light. Uniquely this transfer from spot to flood allows both light outputs to operate at the same time. It has 3 stage optical concentration, requires no maintenance and has an impressive life of 50,000 hours.
- Light output up to 5,500 lumens
- Colour temperature 6500 Kelvin
- 3 brightness levels
- Protection class: IP66

Tripod Adaptor
The Ritelite K8 Tripod Adaptor is required to attach your K8 LED to the K8 tripod.
Mains Adaptor
This Mains Vepac Adaptor will allow all K8 Ritelite portable work light models to be charged from any mains power outlet. Available with a choice of mains input connectors to suit multiple countries.
Magnetic Bracket
The Ritelite K8 magnetic bracket allows you to attach your K8 LED to any robust steel surface.
Docking Charge Rack
The K8 docking charge rack is an additional product enabling the user versatility of one in a vehicle and one in the work place, for example when connecting to the mains adaptor.
- How long does the unit last on a full charge?
At 100% power the Lithium 1 unit will last up to 4 hours 20 minutes. The Lithium 2 unit will last up to 7 hours. Duration for both can be significantly extended by selecting a lower power setting – either 66% or 33%. - How bright is the K8?
The K8 has a light output of 5,500 lumens at 100%. The beam can also be changed from spot to flood by rotating the bezel of the light head increasing the flexibility of the product for use in more applications. - Can the unit be left on permanent charge?
Yes the K8 is designed to be left on charge. Once the battery is charged to 100% the LED will flash green and sit on float charge until needed. - Can the K8 be charged from a vehicle?
Yes, the K8 includes a vehicle charging dock with cigarette plug. It can be charged from any vehicle and has a voltage range of 12-30V DC. - What is the maximum duration from the K8’s battery?
For maximum duration set the unit power to its lowest setting, 33%. This will give approximately 14 hours duration with the Lithium 1 battery, and 24 hours with the Lithium 2 model.
