Description
Yato cordless torch 18V 2in1 (YT-829691) combines two lights in one body: a COB LED torch with a luminous flux of 250 lm, and a 10 SMD LED light panel on the side of the body that produces 100 lm of wide close-range light. The torch’s power is 2.5 W and the panel’s 1.2 W.
The torch head turns 180°, so the beam can be aimed forwards, upwards or backwards while the body stays upright or hangs from the hook. The switch on the back of the body changes between five operating modes, which also include a flashing red light for warning and signalling.
The light uses a Yato 18 V Li-Ion battery that locks into the slot at the bottom of the body and also serves as the light’s foot. The body measures 165 × 95 × 68 mm and weighs 0.25 kgwithout the battery. The product is a body-only version without a battery or charger.
The colour temperature of the light is 6000–6500 K and the colour rendering index CRI ≥ 80. The impact resistance rating is IK07, the IP rating IP20 (indoor use) and the stated service life of the LED light source 50,000 hours. The EAN code is 5906083109218.
Uses and suitability:
The Yato cordless torch 18V 2in1 is intended for lighting the work and its immediate surroundings indoors when both a focused beam and even close-range light are needed.
- Workshop and service work: the torch points into the engine bay or a recess in a machine, and the side panel lights the work surface; the hook attaches the light to a bonnet or a scaffold.
- Electrical and plumbing installations: in switchboards, suspended ceilings and pipe ducts, the turning head aims the beam without moving the light.
- Warehouses and technical rooms: inspection rounds of shelf aisles and plant rooms; the 100 lm panel is enough as a walking light.
- Signalling: the flashing red mode works as a warning light, for example when working next to a vehicle.
- Yato 18 V battery system: the same battery as in the power tools in the range, for example the Yato cordless work light 18V / 230V 1600LM 20W light.

Instructions for using the Yato cordless torch 18V 2in1:
Fitting the battery: push a charged Yato 18 V battery into the guides of the slot until the latch locks, and pull it to check that it does not come loose. Use only compatible batteries and Yato chargers.
Use: press the rear switch: the first press switches on the torch, and further presses change the mode in the order torch + panel, panel, flashing red + torch and flashing red. Switch off by pressing the switch again at the end of the mode cycle.
Aiming: turn the torch head to the required angle within 180°. Tilt it with the battery removed. Hang the light from the hook or stand it on the battery.
Maintenance: remove the battery before cleaning. Wipe the body and switch with a dry cloth or blow them clean with compressed air (max. 0.3 MPa); clean the lens with a soft, damp cloth without chemicals. After use, check the condition of the housing, lens and switch. The unit must not be dismantled during the warranty period.
Warnings:
- Eye hazard: do not look into the light source or point the beam at the eyes of people or animals.
- Indoor use only: IP20: no water jet, immersion or use in rain.
- Explosion hazard: do not use near flammable vapours or dust.
- Heating: do not cover the light during use; the reflector housing gets hot.
- Protective lens: not replaceable: a damaged light is taken out of use.
- Battery: Yato 18 V Li-Ion batteries only; remove the battery before adjusting and maintenance. Not a toy: keep out of the reach of children.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What does 2in1 mean in the Yato cordless torch 18V 2in1? The body has two separate light sources: a focusing COB LED torch (250 lm) and an SMD LED panel on the side of the body (100 lm), which can be used separately or together.
Is a battery included? No. The body-only version works with Yato 18 V Li-Ion batteries YT-82842…YT-82845 and YT-828461…YT-828465, which are charged with Yato chargers YT-828498…YT-828504.
What is the flashing red light for? As a warning and signalling light, for example when working at the roadside or in a hall. The mode can be used on its own or together with the torch.
How far does the head turn? The torch head turns 180°, so the beam can be aimed straight up or backwards while the body stays in place.
Does the light withstand moisture? The IP rating is IP20, so the light is intended for dry indoor spaces. The impact resistance is IK07.
Recycling instructions:
Packaging: cardboard to paper collection, plastic bags and covers to plastic collection or energy waste.
Device: a discarded light is waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and must not be disposed of with mixed waste. Take it to a WEEE collection point or to the collection point of a shop selling electrical equipment. Take the removable Li-Ion battery separately to a battery collection point with the terminals taped; a damaged battery must not be transported without protection.
The Yato cordless torch 18V 2in1 is marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol, which means separate collection under the EU WEEE Directive.
