Trainman Lantern Rechargeable Kit — 6 Batteries, Charging Base, 2 A Adapter Trainman Lantern — Patented Break-Away Handle, 650 lm, IP66, 50 hr runtime, 2,667 ft Beam
Everything that makes Railhead’s patented trainman’s lantern safer and easier to use — now with a rechargeable power system.
Rail work is full of snag points: ladders, grab irons, tight clearances, and rolling equipment. Railhead’s patented breakaway handle is designed to separate under abnormal load, allowing the lantern to come free instead of becoming a tether to the worker.
The rechargeable version adds six rechargeable C-cell batteries, two battery cages, a charging base, and 2A wall charger while retaining compatibility with standard alkaline C-cell batteries. The drop-and-go charging dock eliminates the need to remove individual batteries.
With 650 lumens, an industry-leading 2,667 ft beam throw, 50+ hours of runtime, an IP66-rated housing, magnetic base, 8-position ratcheting handle, photoluminescent rubber bezel, and integrated battery indicator, it delivers the same railroad-built performance with the convenience of rechargeable power.
Roughly 35% lighter than a standard 6 V lantern, it is built to reduce battery waste, simplify charging, and keep crews ready for the next shift.
Patented design. Breakaway handle. Rechargeable power. Photoluminescent rubber bezel. Industry-leading beam throw. Magnetic base.
Features
- • Approximately $1,200 saved in C-cell purchases over 2 years (figure reported by transportation departments)
- • Drop-in battery cage charges one set of three cells at a time — no handling individual batteries
- • LED charge indicator on the charging base
- • The lantern still accepts standard C-cell alkalines — nothing is stranded during the transition

- • 8-position ratcheting handle aims the beam fast and repeatably, one-handed
- • Screwed-on 30 lb magnetic base — holds through brittle-cold winters where glued magnets detach and stay stuck to the equipment
- • Photoluminescent rubber base glows in the dark — the lantern is findable after it is set down
- • Integrated battery indicator; 50+ hr of runtime on low spot
- • Roughly 35% lighter than a standard 6 V lantern
- • Sealed to IP66 (dust-tight, water-resistant)
