Ledlenser KidBEAM4 Kids Torch review
Giving a young child (3+) their own safe, low-glare torch to keep in a family emergency kit or by the bed for a power cut.
By Tom Calder · Price last checked 20 Sep 2026, 12:29 BST · price-tracked
A genuinely child-friendly torch rather than a scaled-down adult one — soft colour modes, a sensible auto shut-off, and light enough for small hands. Worth having in a baby/child kit for reassurance during a blackout, but it's a comfort item, not core survival kit.

- Auto shut-off (around 20 minutes) limits battery drain if left switched on in a bag
- Selectable colours including a dim setting that's gentler on young eyes at night than a bright white beam
- Lightweight (about 72g) with a pocket clip, built for a child to use unsupervised in the dark
- IP44 splash resistance only, so it's fine for a rainy garden but not for heavy weather or dropping in water
Who shouldn't buy this
Skip it if your child already has a working torch, or if budget is tight — this is a nice-to-have for a child's comfort and independence, not essential kit, so prioritise water, food and warmth items first.
