Choosing The Right Site Lights

When selecting site lights, consider these key factors:

Power Output: Choose between 10W for close-range tasks, 20-30W for general site lighting, or 50W units for large area illumination and maximum brightness.

Power Source: Rechargeable models offer portability and flexibility without cables, whilst 240v mains-powered lights provide continuous operation for extended projects without recharging concerns.

Mounting Options: Tripod lights offer adjustable height positioning ideal for larger areas, folding units provide compact portability, and single or twin-head configurations determine coverage area.

Build Quality: Look for robust construction with impact-resistant housings and stable bases to withstand site conditions. IP ratings indicate weather and dust resistance for outdoor use.

Additional Features: Some models include integrated power sockets for tool connection, adjustable angles for directed lighting, and carry handles or cases for transportation between sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do rechargeable site lights run on a single charge?
Runtime varies by model and power output, but most rechargeable site lights offer between 2-6 hours of continuous illumination. Higher wattage units typically have shorter runtimes, whilst lower powered lights can last longer between charges.

Are LED site lights suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, most LED site lights feature weather-resistant construction suitable for outdoor applications. Check the IP rating for specific protection levels – higher ratings offer better protection against dust and moisture ingress.

What's the advantage of tripod site lights over folding models?
Tripod site lights provide elevated positioning for wider area coverage and can illuminate work areas from above, reducing shadows. Folding models are more compact and portable, making them ideal for confined spaces and frequent transportation between locations.
