    Style A

    Style B

    Style E

    Point light where it’s needed—even in wet areas. These lights are sealed against splashing and dripping water. You won't need an outlet nearby because they're cordless, so you can bring them wherever you're working. They have a hook, a magnet at the base, or both, so you can attach them to nearby surfaces.
    Style A—Style A show colors more accurately than standard LEDs. Use them where color identification is critical, such as paint inspection and wiring. They’re durable enough to fall from 6 ft. and still work.
    Style B—Style B show colors more accurately than standard LEDs. Use them where color identification is critical, such as paint inspection and wiring. They also have a UV light that illuminates fluorescent dyes to track down leaks and spot surface contaminants more easily than with white light. These lights are durable enough to fall from 6 ft. and still work.
    Style E—Style E are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, so it’s a cinch to carry and store them. They’re durable enough to fall from 6 ft. and still work. Choose from two lighting modes based on your situation: a floodlight for close-up tasks or a spotlight for long distances. They show colors more accurately than standard LEDs, so they’re great when color identification is critical, such as paint inspection and wiring. Their lens resists chemicals.

    Bring light to remote, wet areas. These floodlights are IP rated to handle humidity and dripping, splashing, and falling liquids. Adjust their tripod up and down to direct light as far as you need. They’re also quick to set up and move elsewhere at a moment’s notice.
    Style E—Style E have a spot beam that shines up to a mile away. They also have excellent battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting.
    Style F—Style F have three LED panels for 360° illumination. Each panel adjusts up and down and side to side. Turn their adjustable lens to switch between a wide flood beam and a narrow spot beam for long-distance lighting. They also have excellent battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting.
    Style G—Style G have three LED panels for 360° illumination. Each panel adjusts up and down and side to side. Turn their adjustable lens to switch between a wide flood beam and a narrow spot beam for long-distance lighting. They are the tallest option. Control them from up to 20 feet away with the included remote. They also have excellent battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting.
    90 CRI—Lights with a Coloring Rendering Index (CRI) of 90 out of 100 are the best at showing slight color differences. For contrast, most portable LED lights have a CRI of 75-80. Originally used by evidence technicians, they’re great for inspecting paint or similarly colored wires.
    Vehicle—Floodlights with a vehicle plug can be operated as long as needed using an external power source, such as your truck’s battery. Vehicle plugs fit into a standard outlet or a 12V DC power source using the included adapters.
    Wire Leads—Floodlights with wire leads can be operated as long as needed when attached to a 12-24V DC battery, such as your truck’s battery.

    Wet-Location Cordless Freestanding Portable Floodlights

    Style C

    Brighten remote areas, even if they’re wet or rainy. These floodlights are IP rated to keep out humidity and dripping, splashing, and falling liquids. Lightweight, you can move them elsewhere at a moment’s notice.
    Style C—Style C are the best at showing slight color differences. Originally used by evidence technicians, they’re great for inspecting paint or similarly colored wires. Light up something nearby or far away by adjusting the diffuser lens from a flood beam to a spot beam. Rated IP07, these floodlights will still work even if they’re temporarily submerged. They also have the best battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting. For unlimited operation, use the included adapters to plug them into a standard outlet or a 12V power source, such as a truck. They also come with a remote that lets you control them from up to 20 feet away. To mount, hang them like a lantern with the loop on top or stick them to a metal surface with the magnetic base. If you don’t have a surface to work with, add a tripod (sold separately).
