LED Square Work Light | 60W to 150W Site Lighting with US Plug

A rectangular pool that tiles across a floor

A square head throws a rectangular pool of light. Set several across a working floor and the pools meet edge to edge with no dark corners between them. Round heads leave gaps in the same layout, which is why square is the shape specified when an area has to be covered rather than a single point lit.

The range runs 60W to 150W in high visibility yellow, with grey and red versions at some wattages.

Picking the wattage

Specification

Get it above head height

Hang or stand it 8 to 12 feet up where the site allows. Higher gives a wider pool and far less glare for anyone looking sideways. On a tripod at eye level it lights the floor well and blinds everyone facing it, which is the most common complaint about site lighting.

Light across the task, not along it

A light directly behind the operator puts their own shadow on the work. Set it to one side and slightly forward so the beam crosses the task.

Watch the lead

At 150W a single supply lead fills quickly. Check what is already on it before adding another fixture, and remember that a plug connection does not change the requirements for site power.
