Question: What types of lights should I have in my toolkit?
Answer:
Lighting is arguably one of the most important considerations for technicians, as dependable, high-quality and flicker-free light is critical for both safety and work efficiency. Deciding which lights to have can be overwhelming, however, given the number of options in the market. If carefully selected, just a few lights will cover all of your needs.
Here are the key categories and features to include when building out your lighting solution toolkit:
Headlamps
Headlamps provide handsfree, directable lighting—perfect when you’re under a vehicle. For ultimate versatility, look for lights with a focusing lens, 130-degree adjustable light angle, and magnetic charging for convenience and flexibility, like the H7R Core provides.
Flashlights
Flashlights provide even more precise lighting, especially those with an advanced focus system, which allows you to transition light from a broad flood beam to a sharply focused long-distance beam. Other key considerations: robust housing and seals, making the lights drop-, water- and dust-proof. The P7R Core is a great choice in this category.
Area lights
Area lights provide broad workplace coverage, flooding it with light. Key features to look for include versatile mounting systems (hook, magnet, stand, etc.), high lumen output, and Bluetooth capabilities for remote operation … and even music, like the iF4R Music offers.
With a high-quality light from each of these categories, you can equip yourself or your team with exactly the tools you need to be safe and successful on the job.
