Temporary Job Site Lighting: When and Where You Need It
The world moves at a fast pace these days. Just take a drive down what used to be a quiet suburban street and you are bound to discover new properties like strip malls, fitness facilities, neighborhood clubhouses, storage buildings, and even mixed-used spaces with both commercial and residential areas in the same building—all being lit by different types of lights.
The landscape is constantly evolving to accommodate the needs of today’s population. To keep construction moving, crews are often working through the night to get projects complete.
Foremen and managing companies need to keep their crew members as productive and safe as possible and often need to employ temporary work lighting. Depending on the tasks at hand, there are a range of options available from 1000Bulbs.com to provide the ideal portable and flexible solutions for construction foremen and temporary work site managers.
Temporary Lighting 101
Temporary work lights are essential at worksites employing round-the-clock workers, but they are also needed when working inside buildings that don’t have utilities set-up or hooked up yet.
Temporary job site lighting needs to be durable and heavy duty. Worksites, whether they be construction sites or damp locations, can be hazardous environments with tools, ladders, materials, and cords all strung about.
A familiar looking solution still widely popular today in temporary job site lighting are stringers and cages. Available at 1000Bulbs.com in 50-foot and 100-foot lengths, these workhorses can be paired with your choice of medium-base socket lightbulbs, from size A19 through A23.
LED Temporary Work Lights
While incandescent bulbs are compatible with these stringers, consider choosing from the LED selection at 1000Bulbs.com to maximize energy-efficiency and reduce replacement costs.
LEDs provide a much longer life than their incandescent counterparts. With protective cages that easily snap together, lightbulbs are protected from breakage in even the harshest environments.
If the available power source allows the load, these stringers can be connected end-to-end for more coverage. Their bright yellow color allows for easy visibility to prevent tripping and falling over the cords.
Inexpensive Solutions for Your Job Site Lighting That You Can Buy Now
This integrated 5-lamp LED version is an upgrade from just the stringers and cages. It comes in a 50-foot length and each lamp is 10 watts providing upwards of 6,000 lumens. Eight of these can be connected in one run, which is a total of 48,000 lumens. That’s a lot of light for large areas, like construction sites!
To get ample light in larger areas, you used to need metal halide fixtures. But now, thanks to PLT Solutions, LED technology is available for expansive area lighting.
This LED High-Bay Temporary Work Light Fixture provides 12,000 lumens with a beam angle that can be adjusted from 180 to 360 degrees using just 100 watts.
