    Photography Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Photography Lights.
    Capture your team at their best. These lights come with everything you need to light employee headshots and other small-scale office photoshoots. With adjustable stands and heads that tilt 180° vertically, they're easily aimed at any height. Each head has a panel with reflectors on all four sides for angling and shaping light as needed. An included remote control lets you adjust brightness and light temperature from a distance. Choose warmer tones for a softer glow or cooler tones for enhanced detail.
    No need to set up near an outlet—these lights run on rechargeable batteries. They can also be plugged in for continuous use.

    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.

    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 A—Style A can be hung or propped up like a picture frame with their handle. Adjust from a focused spot beam to a wide flood beam by twisting the light head. Rated IP54, these floodlights also seal out dusty conditions. Their high-capacity battery lets you plug your phone or other device in to charge while you’re working. And when you plug these lights in to charge, they’ll still produce light. The battery life indicator will let you know when to recharge.
    Style B—Style B are made with tough jobsites in mind. For impact resistance, they’re cushioned with rubber at the edges and have a tempered-glass lens. You can drop them from up to 6 feet without damage. Rated IP67, they’re dust-tight and will still work if temporarily submerged under water. Adjust them to any angle to aim light exactly where you need it. To mount, hang them up with the extendable hook or stick the magnetic base to a metal surface. If there’s no surface to mount them on, add a tripod (sold separately).
    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).
    ANSI/PLATO FL 1—Floodlights tested against ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standards confirm the accuracy of performance attributes such as beam distance, impact resistance, and battery life.

    Style A

    Style A (Shown Collapsed)

    Light up remote spaces without having to keep track of a new cordless tool battery. These floodlights run on a Milwaukee M18 battery (sold separately). You can also power them with an extension cord (not included). These lights extend up to 7 ft. tall and have a pivoting head to direct light where you need it. When you're done using them, fold them up. They have a handle for easy transport.
    Built to handle tough jobsites, their legs and plastic lens resist impact. And they’ll work outdoors and in other wet areas—rated IP54, they’re sealed against splashing liquid and humidity. Plus, they’re protected against dirty, dusty conditions.
    Note: Battery life depends on the size of your battery.
