Portwest Rechargeable LED Light gloves (1 Pair)

Holding a torch while trying to work with both hands in a tight space is one of those everyday frustrations that every tradesperson knows. The Portwest Rechargeable LED Light Gloves (PA14) solve the problem by putting the light exactly where your hands are. With LEDs mounted on the thumb and index finger, light follows your fingers directly to the task — no torch clamped between your teeth, no headlamp pointing the wrong way, and no stopping to reposition a work light.

Light Where You're Looking, Where You're Working

Each glove features LED lights on the thumb and index finger, giving you two independently directed beams per hand. Point your thumb one way and your index finger another to illuminate different angles of the same workspace simultaneously. This is genuinely hands-free lighting — the beams move with your fingers, so every time you reach into a junction box, under a sink, or inside an engine bay, the light is already there.

USB-C Rechargeable — No Disposable Batteries

The PA14 is powered by 2 x 3.7V 150mAh lithium batteries and charges via USB to USB-C, with the charging cable included. No more buying and replacing disposable batteries — simply plug in at the end of the day and they're ready for the next job. USB-C charging means you can use the same cables and chargers you already carry for your phone and other devices.

IP44 Dust and Water Protection

Work doesn't stop because conditions aren't clean and dry. The PA14 is rated IP44, providing protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction. This means the LEDs and electronics are shielded from the dust, grit, and damp conditions commonly found in crawl spaces, lofts, plant rooms, and under-floor voids.

Comfortable, Secure Fit

The cotton and polypropylene construction keeps the gloves lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. The wrist strap and hook-and-loop closure hold each glove securely in place so they don't shift or ride up while you're working in awkward positions. One size fits all, making them easy to share across a team or keep as a van essential.

Ideal For

The Portwest PA14 LED Light Gloves are designed for anyone who needs hands-free lighting in confined or low-light spaces. They're a natural fit for plumbers working under sinks and in crawl spaces, electricians accessing junction boxes and consumer units, mechanics reaching into engine bays, and HVAC engineers working in plant rooms and ductwork. They're also useful for IT technicians working behind server racks, loft insulation installers, boat maintenance, and outdoor activities like camping, fishing, and night running where directed hand lighting beats a standard torch.

Specifications

Q: How do the LED light gloves work? A: Each glove has LED lights mounted on the thumb and index finger. When switched on, the LEDs project beams of light in whichever direction your fingers are pointing — giving you hands-free, directional illumination that follows your work without needing to hold or position a separate torch.

Q: How do I charge the gloves? A: The PA14 charges via USB to USB-C. A charging cable is included in the box. Simply plug in after use and the built-in 3.7V lithium batteries recharge — no need to buy or replace disposable batteries.

Q: Are the gloves waterproof? A: The PA14 is rated IP44, which means the electronics are protected against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction. They'll handle damp, wet, and dusty work environments, but they're not designed for full submersion or sustained heavy water exposure.

Q: What size are the gloves? A: The PA14 is one size fits all. The wrist strap and hook-and-loop closure allow you to adjust the fit for comfort and security across a range of hand sizes.

Q: Can I point the lights in different directions? A: Yes. The thumb and index finger LEDs are independent, so you can angle them in different directions to light up multiple areas of the same workspace simultaneously. This is particularly useful when working inside confined spaces where a single light source creates shadows.

Q: What trades are these gloves best suited for? A: They're ideal for any trade that involves working in tight, low-light spaces — plumbers, electricians, mechanics, HVAC engineers, IT technicians, and maintenance professionals all benefit from directed, hands-free lighting. They're also popular for outdoor and hobby use including camping, fishing, and night-time DIY.

Q: Are these the same as protective work gloves? A: No. The PA14 is designed as a hands-free lighting tool, not a protective safety glove. The cotton and PP construction provides basic comfort but does not offer cut, impact, or chemical protection. If you need hand protection alongside illumination, wear appropriate safety gloves and use the LED gloves over or alongside them as your task allows.
