When looking for a new work light, you can have many options available. The different designs of legs, COB module, and lenses will allow you to pick the right light for your needs. You can also choose from a variety of mounting options, such as clamps, legs, or even handles that double as legs. This versatility can be beneficial if you frequently work at heights that require you to mount your light at a high level. There are also different kinds of legs, including thin foldable ones and thick, non-foldable ones. The latter are usually made of plastic with a small amount of rubber. Regardless of your needs, choosing a work light with thick legs will increase its versatility and make it easier to store.

LED work light

An LED work light is a type of lighting that focuses light into a single directional beam, rather than a diffused, scattered pattern. Work lights that have lenses are preferred, as they focus the light into a single, directional beam. Reflectors, on the other hand, can create glare and reduce light output. An ideal LED work light should be between 130 and 150 lumens per square foot, which is the recommended level for general use. The angle of the beam also depends on the work that will be done.

Work lights come in several styles. Some have handles, while others have tripods. A tripod allows the light to be mounted at a higher level. Foldable legs are convenient for storage, but are not sturdy enough for heavy duty environments. Non-foldable legs, on the other hand, provide more stability. They are typically made from plastic and some rubber. Thick-legged lights are more versatile and compact and are generally more expensive.

COB module

The COB light source module is a perfect choice for various lighting applications. This light source module possesses the characteristics of a conventional LED with a low cost and high efficiency. It comes with a three stage MacAdam shading consistency, which makes it a suitable choice for general lighting applications. A COB light source module is furnished with the same shading consistency as an LED chip. The COB is a versatile light source that can be characterized by two optic ways: the diffusing plate and the reflector. Figures illustrating the shading change of LC026B and LC040B with the expanding operation current are given. Besides, COB power and reference current are given separately in the figures. The shading change of these light sources can be accomplished with diverse parameters, including varying COB power and wavelength.

The advantages of COB light source include high luminous flux for a small package. They can provide an outstanding illumination while reducing glare and multiple shadow effects. To test a COB light source, all you need is a COB module, a constant current driver, and a piece of aluminium. The COB module should be fitted in an aluminum panel for testing. The aluminium should be positioned at an angle that can facilitate the light to shine through it.
