Does it seem like that new building in your area sprang up over night? That literally can be the case because construction work never sleeps. Whether it’s road work, constructing a new office, or building a home – construction rarely ends when the sun sets. And knowing how these types of jobs require exact and detailed work, proper visibility is one of the most important requirements for a work site. Not only do powerful lights allow workers to see better what they’re doing, but they also make sure they’re seen by others, which minimises the number of mistakes and preserves the safety of human life as well.
Unfortunately, some construction sites still use traditional incandescent and halogen lighting sources. These types of lights have many disadvantages for the workers as well as the person that’s financing the construction. Among these disadvantages is poor lighting quality, short lifespan and lack of robustness, as well as high energy consumption. But with LED work lights becoming more and more popular, the days of yellow and shadowy construction sites are numbered.
By using LED work lights at the construction site, all of the aforementioned problems can be completely wiped off. For one, LEDs provide an extraordinary quality of illumination. LED flood lights, in particular, are ideal for outdoor work activities because they can illuminate a wide area with a dispersed white beam that does not strain the workers’ eyes. Concerning lifespan, LED work lights are again unbeatable. With proper care an LED light can last for an unbelievable 50 000 hours which means they are a durable investment.
When completely illuminating a work site with LED lights it’s also possible to gain significant energy savings. On average, LEDs use 70% less electricity than other traditional light sources. For a large construction site this means you get to save a lot of money on electricity bills. Moreover, LED work lights are designed to be very robust and withstand strokes and hits undamaged. Even if this kind of light somehow breaks, there’s no safety hazard for the construction site because LEDs are built from non-flammable components. They can also tolerate water and extremely high and low temperatures, which makes them suitable for use in all kinds of weather conditions.
Concerning work lights, there’s also another important factor at play – portability. Work lights need to be easily transportable to wherever the job calls, even within one job site. Due to their compact and lightweight design, LED work lights can be carried from one point to another with great ease. There are also a variety of handheld LEDs which make it all the more convenient. Unbelievably, even large, bulky light sources like floodlights can be made into light, handheld devices thanks to the advances in LED technology.
