Torches with hanging hook

Hanging hook

— a device for hanging a lantern on a tree branch, a nail fixed in the wall, a loop under the ceiling of a tent, an element of tourist or military equipment, etc. This is not necessarily a hook — devices in the form of a loop or carabiner can be provided for the same purpose. However, anyway, this feature is most popular in three types of lamps: tourist, hand lamps and auxiliary lighting (see "Type").

Among tourist lanterns, most models are equipped with a hook for hanging; this is due to the original specifics of the use of such devices. In auxiliary lighting, such a detail is much less common — many of these lamps are designed to be installed on the floor or on a table rather than hanging. The same applies to hand-held lamps — however, here the main option is to carry in your hands, and not to install on a flat surface.

Also note that many hand lamps with this feature are either originally designed for diffused light, or have a corresponding additional function (see "additional modes").
