Sometimes you need lighting when you work and you have many options today. For example, should you use a flashlight, corded lighting, or a rechargeable work light? You’ll enjoy many benefits when you choose rechargeable lighting and here are some important reasons why.
Safety
Corded lighting is often heavy. It is hard to carry with you and use. You have to wind up and unwind the cord each time you use the light. Also, it’s not easy keeping a power cord out-of-the-way. You could trip and fall or a fellow worker might injure himself on the cord. Should you accidentally cut or damage the cord, it creates a shock hazard. A good rechargeable work light is cordless and you have none of the hazards associated with corded lighting.
Convenience
You might not always be near an electrical outlet. For example, one of the vehicles breaks down outside of the garage or in the middle of a warehouse. The mechanic must go to the vehicle and make repairs. It’s inconvenient and dangerous to stretch a cord across a warehouse floor where other vehicles travel. A battery operated light is the best choice.
Choosing the Best Rechargeable Work Light
When you check out cordless work lights, look for these important features:
* LPO battery packs – lithium polymer batteries deliver up to 5 and one-half hours of lighting. Plus, it only takes four hours to charge them.
* Extra battery pack – buy a light with 2 battery packs. You can use one battery pack while the other is charging.
* Diffuser feature – a diffuser gives you even light for working.
* LED bulbs – LED light bulbs use less energy than standard bulbs and they last for thousands of hours. They are the most cost effective portable lights for the workplace.
