Torches with contactless control

Contactless control

— the ability to control the torch "from a distance", usually with hand gestures.

This function is found mainly in headlamp models (see "Type") — it is in such flashlights that it is most justified, taking into account the specifics of the application. The IR sensor in the front of the case is usually responsible for contactless control: by waving your hand in front of it, you can turn the flashlight on and off. It is faster, more convenient, and often safer than looking for a switch on the case. In this case, the sensor is configured in such a way as to prevent false alarm as much as possible (for example, when approaching an obstacle). And models with several brightness modes usually have a memory of the last mode — the flashlight turns on at the same setting at which it was turned off.
