Work Lights and Job Site Illumination

Work Lights

From tight crawlspaces to dimly lit mechanical rooms, reliable illumination is a safety necessity. Equip yourself with high-output LED work lights, hands-free headlamps, and versatile penlights designed to withstand the rigors of daily HVAC/R use. We stock durable, rechargeable lighting solutions from Unilite, NEBO, NAVAC, and Klein Tools that ensure you never miss a detail.

How many lumens do I need for an HVAC work light?

The ideal brightness depends on the task. For close-up inspections of control boards or reading schematics, a penlight with 100-300 lumens is sufficient and prevents glare. For general tasks in a mechanical room, a handheld or magnetic light with 400-1000 lumens is standard. For lighting up an entire workspace or attic, look for area lights or site lights with 1500+ lumens.

Why choose a rechargeable work light over battery-powered?

Modern USB-C rechargeable work lights (Lithium-Ion) offer significant cost savings over time compared to disposable alkaline batteries. They also typically provide more consistent light output curves and higher maximum brightness settings, ensuring your light is ready to go when you are.

What features are best for hands-free lighting?

HVAC technicians need both hands for tools and gauges. Look for lights with strong magnetic bases to attach to furnaces and ductwork, or swivel hooks for hanging. Headlamps are excellent for attic work, but ensure they have a comfortable strap and adjustable tilt to direct light exactly where you are looking.

Why buy work lights from TruTech Tools?

We don't sell "gas station" flashlights. Our lighting category is curated for the trades, featuring lights with high IP ratings (water and dust resistance), impact-resistant housings, and features specifically requested by technicians, such as dual-beam (spot/flood) functionality and high CRI (Color Rendering Index) modes for correctly identifying wire colors.
