    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Floor Lamps

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Workstation Lights. Floor Lamps.
    Add light to your work area without sacrificing desk space. These floor lamps have a long lens and an any-which-way arm for even, adjustable lighting across an entire work surface. While flexible, the arm holds its shape once you set it. The glare-free LEDs shine at a daylight temperature that’s ideal for inspecting small parts and other detailed work. With a color rendering index (CRI) of 95, these lights make colors look natural and vibrant. This is ideal in offices for visual comfort or workspaces where color accuracy is important. Toggle between four levels of brightness as needed. The head rotates, so you can direct light where you need it. A built-in USB-C port lets you charge your phone and other accessories.

    Style A

    As chips fly and coolant splashes, these lights shine bright in tough machining conditions. Use them to light up your CNC machine for everything from tool swaps to tune-ups. A thick, tempered glass lens shields them from damage. Rated IP67, these lights are also sealed for protection against dust and temporary submersion, so they’ll hold up in wet and dirty environments.
    Linkable—Linkable lights require a cord (sold separately) to connect multiple lights.
    Style A—Style A are the most common. They include mounting brackets that pivot to aim light where you need it.
    3 Poles—Lights with a 3-pole plug require a cord (sold separately) to connect to your power supply.

    Style A—Style A are brighter and have a wider beam angle than Style B, so they illuminate a larger area. Their polycarbonate lens resists impacts. They require a cord (sold separately) to connect to your 24V DC power supply. Their M12 plug is compatible with sockets that have 3 or 4 poles. Add a magnetic mounting bracket for quick installation on metal surfaces. If your machine can’t switch lights on, add a rocker switch.
