Description
Yato inspection light 500 LM is a very compact pen torch designed especially for precision work in confined and restricted spaces. This pocket-sized light has an advanced 5 W POWER LED that gives a maximum output of up to 500 lumens. Its slim, light aluminium body makes it easy to operate with one hand. The integrated pocket clip lets you carry the light around just like an ordinary pen. The aluminium body protects the light from impacts and helps dissipate heat effectively in long use.
This pen light has an innovative zoom function that lets you adjust the beam seamlessly from a wide flood to a precise spot. You can choose from three brightness levels (high, medium, low) for the best light in each situation. At the highest setting, the beam reaches up to 100 metres. The colour temperature of the light is 8000–9000 K, which gives very clear, high-contrast light for spotting small details in the dark.
The light runs on the supplied 3.7 V 750 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is conveniently charged with a USB-C cable. Battery life ranges from 2 hours to 6.5 hours depending on the brightness setting. If needed, the light can also be powered by two standard AAA batteries, which ensures it is always ready for use even when the battery cannot be charged right away. The IPX4 rating and 1 metre drop resistance ensure that the light works in various environments.
Intended use:
- Mechanical installation and maintenance: The slim design and bright spot beam are suitable for lighting narrow gaps in vehicle engine bays, machinery and equipment.
- HVAC, plumbing and electrical work: The compact size makes the light easy to carry for checks of distribution boards, pipework and cable routes in confined structures.
- Daily maintenance: A handy aid for quick inspections in property maintenance and technical systems. Thanks to the pocket clip, it travels easily in a breast pocket and is always quickly to hand.

Yato inspection light 500 LM instructions for use:
Charge the light’s battery fully with the supplied USB-C cable before first use. Connect the cable to the USB port of the light and the other end to a compatible power source. The battery charge indicator shows when the battery is full. Charging takes about 3 hours. Alternatively, you can use the light by inserting two AAA batteries. Make sure you insert the batteries or rechargeable battery in the battery compartment the right way round (+ and – terminals as marked). Switch the light on and adjust the brightness (high, medium, low) with the power button on the body. You can adjust the beam width by turning or pulling the head of the light up and down (zoom function). Keep the lens and body clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use strong solvents that could damage the surface or lens. Store the light in a dry place protected from extreme temperatures when it is not in use.
Warnings:
Never look directly into the light source, as the strong LED light may damage the eyes. Do not point the light into the eyes of other people or animals. Do not dismantle the light yourself, as this can cause a risk of short circuit or electric shock. Keep the light splash-proof by always closing the cover of the USB charging port carefully after use and charging. Remove the batteries or rechargeable battery if the light will not be used for a long time, to avoid possible leakage and damage to the internal parts.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Q: Can I use ordinary batteries in the light instead of the rechargeable battery?
A: Yes, this Yato pen torch also works on two ordinary AAA batteries if you cannot charge its own Li-Ion battery.
Q: Does the light withstand rain or water?
A: The light has an IPX4 rating, so it withstands water splashes from all directions. It is suitable for use in damp conditions but must never be immersed in water.
Q: How long does it take to charge the battery fully?
A: Fully charging the supplied Li-Ion battery takes about 3 hours with a suitable USB power source.
