Which work light should you choose for the job?
The choice of a work light depends heavily on the nature of the work and the environment. Work lights come in various designs, each with its own advantages for specific applications.
Battery-powered work lights: flexibility on the job site
Battery-powered work lights offer freedom of movement without relying on power outlets. This makes them ideal for mobile use, such as on-site assembly work, inspections in hard-to-reach areas, or during power outages. They are available in handy models, but also as powerful battery-powered construction lights with significant light output. With these lights, pay close attention to the battery life and charging time. Some models can also function as a power bank to charge other devices.
Mains-powered work lights: continuous lighting for long-term use
For long-term projects requiring a constant and high light output, mains-powered work lights provide a continuous energy source. These lights are suitable for larger construction sites, workshops, and areas where a power connection is available. Some mains-powered work lights are equipped with extra sockets, which simplifies connecting other tools. Pay attention to the cable length and whether the cable is suitable for outdoor use (e.g., H05RN-F rubber cable).
Hybrid work lights: the best of both worlds
A growing number of work lights combine the advantages of both battery and mains power. These hybrid models can be used flexibly, both for mobile use and for longer periods with a fixed power supply. This prevents you from being left without light and offers adaptability to various work situations.
Light quality and brightness: work light specifications
To choose a work light that meets the requirements of a job, knowledge of light specifications is important. Brightness, light color, and weather resistance are determining factors.
| Specification | Explanation and practical application |
|---|---|
| Lumen (lm) | This number indicates the total amount of visible light. The higher the number of lumens, the brighter the lamp shines.
|
| IP rating (Ingress Protection) | The IP rating indicates the protection against dust and water. The first digit stands for dust protection, the second for water protection.
|
| Light color (Kelvin - K) | This describes the color temperature of the light, ranging from warm to cool white.
|
| CRI (Color Rendering Index) | The CRI indicates how accurately colors are rendered under the light. A higher CRI value (above 80) is desirable for work where color recognition is important, such as in painting or electrical work. |
| IK rating (Impact Protection) | The IK rating indicates the impact resistance of the fixture, ranging from IK00 (no protection) to IK10 (protected against 20 joules of impact). A higher IK rating is an indication of the robustness and shock resistance of the work light. Work lights for rough environments have a high IK rating. |
Additional features and functionalities
Modern work lights are often equipped with features that enhance usability and versatility.
- Adjustability: Many work lights feature a rotating and tilting head, allowing the light to be directed onto the work surface. Models with a tripod offer the ability to spread the light from a greater height and over a wider area. [reference: blog article about 'Choosing the right tripod for your work light']
- Dimmable functions: The ability to adjust the light intensity is practical. This can help prevent glare and makes the lamp suitable for various lighting conditions.
- Mounting options: In addition to tripods, there are work lights with integrated magnets or hanging hooks. This makes it easy to attach to metal surfaces or hang from pipes, keeping your hands free for the job.
- Built-in power bank: Battery-powered work lights with a USB output can serve as a portable charger for mobile phones or other devices.
- Durable construction: Work lights are built to withstand rough handling. Materials such as aluminum, steel, and tempered glass, combined with shock-absorbing edges, ensure a long lifespan.
- Bluetooth speakers: Some work lights include a built-in Bluetooth speaker for playing music, which contributes to a more pleasant working atmosphere.
