Site lighting has rapidly evolved over the last few years, with new lighting technology coming onto the market and a forward push for greater energy efficiency. If you are thinking about buying work site lights, then read our handy guide of the different types of lights available and which would be best for the job. We also consider some other features and functions that are available when choosing a work site light.
LED site lights are far superior to fluorescent work lights, providing a quality solution to construction site lighting requirements. LED bulbs produce “directional light” and fluorescent bulbs produce what is known as “omnidirectional light” (light in many directions). LED work site lights are approximately three times as efficient as fluorescent bulbs. They are brighter, whiter and have more natural light when compared to fluorescent bulbs. LED lights are also much more energy-efficient compared to fluorescent bulbs and with LED technology rapidly advancing each year, the designs of work site lights are becoming more innovative and affordable than ever.
When choosing a work site light, consider the environment in which it will be used. For instance, if you work in construction be aware that dust and water are the two main elements that typically cause damage to electrical equipment such as lights. So look for work site lights that are waterproof and dustproof.
Floodlights are typically used for this type of work and they do exactly as described, they flood the area with light. The light that is generated is focused in one direction for maximum brightness within the working area. Floodlights mounted on a tripod allow light to be emitted from a higher trajectory, this widens the lit area and reduces shadowing. Freestanding or floor mounted floodlights are more portable and are an ideal solution if you are looking for a light that can be moved from one area to another regularly.
