    Compact Strip Machine Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Lights. Compact Strip Machine Lights, Style D.

    Style D

    With a slimmer profile than other strip machine lights, these lights fit in tight spots inside machinery because they don’t have a circuit board. They’re often used to light up tool changeovers and other maintenance tasks in cramped machines. The LEDs are sealed in plastic to withstand impact and block out fluid, dust, and debris. IP67 rated, these lights are watertight against temporary submersion, so they can handle your wettest environments. These lights highlight white and blue tones, making them good for inspecting.
    Style D—Style D have an adjustable mounting bracket that rotates 180°, so you can direct the light where it’s needed. Loosen the fasteners at each end to change its angle.

    Bend these lights to shine a spotlight right where you need it for drilling, cutting, and more. Also known as gooseneck-arm lights, these lights snake around obstructions and reach into tight spaces where lights with an articulating arm can’t. They’re not your typical desk light—these lights are built from top to bottom to handle the tough conditions near your machine. The head and arm are aluminum, so they stay strong against flying debris and resist corrosion. The arm will stay in position, even under vibration. The lens is made of heat- and chemical-resistant glass that’s sealed to keep out fluids, chips, and shavings.
    Plug In—Lights with a plug connect to a standard wall outlet.
    IP65 Enclosure Rating—IP65 rated lights are dust tight and protect against low-pressure washdowns.

    Direct a beam of light without obstructing machine parts. These lights have a compact head that pivots to aim light just where you need it. Mount them in and around machines—their lens is made of heat- and chemical-resistant glass that’s sealed to keep out fluids, chips, and shavings.
    The narrower the beam, the more intense the light. A 10° angle concentrates the beam, so it’s best for inspecting fine details. A 40° angle spreads light across a wider area for general visibility in machines.
    Style A—Style A can be dimmed by pressing down the push button. The longer you press, the dimmer they get. They have a knob to lock the head angle in place.
    Plug In—Lights with a plug connect to a standard wall outlet.
    IP65 Enclosure Rating—IP65 rated lights are dust-tight and protect against low-pressure washdowns.

    Style B (Power Cord Sold

    Separately)

    Improve visibility inside enclosures and control cabinets so it’s easier to trace wires, swap relays, check connections, and more. These lights have an impact-resistant plastic lens that protects the LEDs. Each light has a 2-pin pin-and-housing connector on both ends, so you can plug in a power cord or a connecting cord (both sold separately) to link multiple lights together in a large cabinet. You can also make your own power cord or connecting cord using screw terminal connectors (sold separately) and your own 16/2 cable.
    Motion Sensor—Lights with a motion sensor turn on automatically when the door opens—no wiring to a door switch necessary. Position the sensor so it has a clear view of the door. When linked together, lights with a motion sensor turn on and off independently.
    Button Switch—Lights with a button switch only operate manually. When linked together, lights with a button switch turn on and off independently.
    No Switch—If you’d prefer to control the lights with a door switch, choose lights with no switch. Lights with no switch turn on and off together when linked.
    Magnetic—Lights with a magnetic mount cling to most metal panels and can be repositioned and removed. Pop them off to use them as a portable light inside your enclosure—just leave some slack in the cable to move them around.

    Web Conferencing Lights

    Look your best on video calls—these lights provide even, shadow-free lighting for a bright and natural look. Brightness and light appearance are adjustable. Choose warmer tones for a natural glow or cooler tones for enhanced detail. For softer light, slide the silicone diffuser over the lens. All run on a battery for cord-free use, but you can keep them charging while they’re on if you’d like.
