Best Job Site Security Lighting Buying Guide

1. Battery Life: Battery-powered lights have an advantage in that they can run for long periods without being changed.
However, they often have a limited brightness and they can be very expensive in the long run. Look for lights that use long lasting batteries and are energy efficient.
2. Light Output: The lumens measure of a light tells you how bright it is. Look for lights with at least 1000 lumens.
The higher the lumens, the broader the coverage and the longer the throw. You can also get lights that are specifically designed for flood lighting.

This means that the light is protected against water jets from any direction and can withstand accidental contact with water.
4. Beam Angle: The wider the beam angle, the broader the coverage over a larger area.
Choose a light with a narrow to medium beam angle for general lighting. Wide beam angle lights are good for spotlighting and photography.
5. Mounting: Lights with a clamp or magnetic base can be easily attached to any surface for hands free illumination.
Light heads that have a swivelling and tilting feature can be very useful in illuminating hard to reach areas.
6. Performance: Performance depends on the quality of the light and the accessories that come with it.
Look for lights that have a good quality light head and a decent set of accessories.
7. Warranty: Look for a warranty that covers all the components of the light. A good warranty protects you from any defects in the light and ensures that you get a replacement quickly.
8. Price: The price of a light will depend on the features that it offers and the quality of the components.
