Key Features & Benefits

500 Watt Halogen Output

The 500 watt halogen lamp produces high-intensity, focused illumination that cuts through dark and low-light environments on jobsites and in enclosed workspaces. Having the bulb included means contractors can put the light to work immediately without sourcing a separate lamp.

Heavy-Duty Face Frames

The heavy-duty face frames protect the lamp from accidental contact and physical damage during transport and use on rugged construction sites. This construction extends the service life of the fixture under the demanding conditions typical of professional jobsites.

Insulated Foam Handles

Insulated foam handles allow safe repositioning of the light even during operation, reducing the risk of burns when adjusting the fixture's angle or location. This feature is particularly valuable when working in tight spaces where frequent repositioning is required.

H-Base Design for Stable Placement

The H-base design provides a stable footprint on uneven or cluttered jobsite surfaces, reducing the risk of tip-overs that could damage the lamp or create a safety hazard. Its adjustable frame lets users direct the beam precisely where illumination is needed most.

On/Off Switch

An integrated on/off switch allows the operator to control the light without unplugging the cord, improving convenience and workflow efficiency on active jobsites.

Portable and Ready-to-Use

The compact, portable form factor and 3 ft SJTW power cord with standard 5-15P plug make this work light easy to deploy anywhere a standard outlet or extension cord is available. Its lightweight design supports quick repositioning as work areas change throughout the day.
