FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about work lights

Why install work lights on a vehicle or machine?

Especially professionals in maintenance, construction, and transportation often work from the early dawn to the evening darkness. With good work lights, you enhance workplace safety, ergonomic conditions, and the safety of others on the road. In machinery, effective work lights impact the quality of work; for example, loading lights in the transportation sector improve safety, and in maintenance vehicles, better visibility with work lights can reduce potential hazards for other road users. In all these vehicles, the original lighting is rarely designed for dark conditions. Therefore, high-quality work lights are a small investment in workplace safety, ergonomics, and overall well-being.

Do work lights freeze during winter?

The lenses of work lights, as well as auxiliary lights, may freeze during winter, depending on their installation location and exposure to driving wind, snow, and slush accumulation. Generally, the most efficient work lights quickly melt any minor accumulated snow and ice shortly after being turned on. To facilitate this melting process, you can choose a work light with a heated lens from our selection, for example Bullboy 50W led working light or Strands IZEBREKAER led work light This feature ensures that the lenses of the work lights do not freeze during winter, improving their functionality and maintaining a clear view.

Should I choose led, halogen or xenon/HID work lights?

Today, most of our selection includes led working lights. Led is superior in terms of efficiency, size, and durability compared to older technologies. Led auxiliary lights are suitable for both 12V and 24V systems. Led lights illuminate immediately at full brightness without any ignition delay. However, a disadvantage of leds in vehicle use is their low heat output compared to other light sources; halogen and xenon lights perform better at keeping ice and snow melted. Led lights typically cannot have their leds or other parts replaced. On the other hand, there is usually no need to replace parts during the long lifespan of the lights.

Traditional halogen auxiliary lights are gradually being replaced by more advanced technologies. The main advantages of halogen lights are a pleasant warm light color and excellent color reproduction. Moreover, the high waste heat keeps halogen auxiliary lights effective in snowy conditions. However, in terms of brightness and efficiency, halogens lag behind more modern technologies.

How can I compare different work lights?

Would you like to buy work lights, but comparing the lights feels difficult? Here are a few units that are worth reviewing, as using these might make it easier to understand the differences between work lights:

Lumen (lm) is the unit of luminous flux. Lumens indicate how much light is emitted in total from an led or another light source, without specifying the direction of the light. Lumens do not tell the whole truth about auxiliary lights because the lumens produced by the light source need to be directed correctly, for example, using reflectors.
Kelvins (K) indicate the color temperature of light. Light below 3000K is usually perceived as warm and yellow, while light above 7000K begins to appear blue. The common color temperature for auxiliary lights is 4500-6500K. The color temperature of traditional halogen bulbs is 2700-2800K.
Watts (W) indicate the power of light (leds). Auxiliary lights typically specify the calculated maximum power of leds, but leds are often operated at "less than full power" to maximize heat regulation and lifespan. Like lumens, watts alone cannot directly determine the quality of auxiliary lights. More watts usually mean more light, but reflectors and other optics play a crucial role in ensuring that the additional light illuminates the desired areas.
Candela (cd) indicates the intensity of light. One candela is approximately equivalent to the light intensity of one candle. Intensity can be used to calculate, for example, the theoretical range of light.
Lux (lx) indicates illuminance. Illuminance describes the intensity of a light source on a illuminated surface. In practice, 0.25 lx is roughly equivalent to the light of the moon on a clear night. When comparing auxiliary lights, it's more useful to look at the range, for example, with a value of 3 lx.
