Larson Electronics, which supplies industrial lighting solutions, has released a new LED work light designed to offer bright light for technicians and mechanics with flexible mounting options and minimal power usage.
The AML-LED-WP40-M-22C LED mechanics' work light produces 1,462 lumens of clean white light from only 40 watts of power, the company said. The light output is comparable to a 250-watt metal halide lamp.
The light offers magnetic mounting, allowing it to be placed in areas of convenience. Because the work light is equipped with cool running LEDs, it is also a safer alternative that removes the potential for accidental burns should the user accidentally contact the fixture while in operation.
The LED design offers 50,000-hour operational life, high resistance to damage from impacts and dropping, and better light color quality than typical incandescent or halogen bulbs, Larson said. The housing is made from high strength aluminum with a polycarbonate lens, resulting in a very rugged design capable of standing up to rough handling and abuse. The entire assembly is IP68 rated waterproof as well, meaning it can withstand submersion up to 3 meters for extended periods without damage.
The magnetic mounting base features 200 lbs. of grip and includes an adjustable lamp bracket. It can be attached to toolboxes, hoods, underbodies, and just about anywhere a source of illumination is needed.
“This mechanics work light provides an even spread of bright white light for illumination for hands free operation during routine maintenance, repairs, and automotive performance modifications,” said Robert Bresnahan of Larson Electronics. “This light weight magnetic work light can be mounted to the hood, strut towers, or along frame rails for temporary illuminating of vehicles, trailers, and various shop projects. The AML-LED-WP40-M-22C is extremely versatile, durable, and the portability of this light makes it ideal for use around the shop, at the track, or on the road.”
