As a tiler, you may have to work on construction sites where there is no permanently installed light or where it is simply not sufficient. With construction lamps and site lighting from KARL DAHM, you can work safely and unhindered.
The right construction site lighting is therefore part of the basic equipment for every tiler.
But which construction lamp is best suited to your requirements and which is best suited to the requirements on the construction site? There are now many different models with different functions. We can help you find the right construction lamp.
There are various models that are suitable for different construction site situations. Whether battery-powered, corded or on a tripod, they should all be able to do one thing: provide the right light.
Battery-powered construction lamps:
The battery-powered construction spotlights can be used flexibly and quickly. They can be positioned anywhere on the construction site and are immediately ready for use. They are not dependent on external power sources and, thanks to the new, economical LED technology, the rechargeable battery of an LED construction light usually lasts for many hours. However, it is best to ensure that the battery is always charged and ready for use when you start work. If possible, buy a spare battery for lamps with a replaceable battery so that you can replace it if necessary.
Wired construction lamps:
With wired construction spotlights, you must ensure that the cable length to the nearest power source is sufficient. This varies from model to model. On the other hand, construction lights with a cable are more reliable and usually more powerful than lights with a rechargeable battery.
Construction spotlight with tripod:
Construction floodlights mounted on a tripod provide particularly good illumination of the surroundings, as they are raised and therefore do not just illuminate the ground. This type of lighting is definitely recommended for large, dark construction sites. However, make sure that the ground is level and that the construction lamp and tripod cannot fall over. This can be problematic on outdoor construction sites with an unstable surface. A nearby power source must also be available, as site floodlights on a tripod are usually wired. Strong winds can also be dangerous.
Brightness:
With LED construction lamps, the lumen range (lumen (lm) = value with which the brightness is measured) should always be in the four- to five-digit range. Only then can sufficient lighting be guaranteed.
Moisture protection:
The IP value for construction site lamps that are also used outdoors should be at least IP44. These models are well protected against splash water and dirt. The higher the IP value, the better the protection against moisture, dirt and impact/damage.
Shock and impact resistance:
A construction lamp sometimes has to withstand a lot. Accidental kicking or falling over, knocks, impacts or other external influences must not cause the device to give up immediately. Pay attention to the quality and condition of the model. As a rule, you can't go far wrong with construction lights from well-known, trusted brands.
Some site spotlights offer additional extras such as USB ports for charging mobile phones or radios. Some models also have built-in sockets or magnetic mounting options, offering the tiler practical added value. However, you should choose your construction light primarily according to its light output and quality, as you can only work safely with the right lighting.
