At Biltema, you will find lighting for different types of work, from convenient work lights to lighting suitable for servicing, troubleshooting and repairs.
Choose the right work lighting for the job
The most suitable lighting depends on where and how you work. A work light is practical when you need extra light in a specific area, such as under the bonnet, beneath the vehicle or at the workbench. For larger jobs, more powerful work lighting with a wider beam can make it easier to get a clear overview of the work area.
When choosing workshop lighting, it is worth considering:
- Brightness: Adjust the amount of light to suit the work area and task.
- Positioning: Choose a work light that can be positioned or directed so the light falls where you need it.
- Size and portability: A smaller light is practical in confined spaces, while larger work lighting can illuminate a wider area.
- Power supply: Consider whether you need a mains-powered or battery-powered work light, depending on where it will be used.
Work lights for cars, motorcycles and garages
When working on cars and motorcycles, you often need access to areas where the standard garage lighting is not sufficient. A directional work light can provide extra illumination around the engine bay, wheel suspension or other hard-to-reach parts.
Work lights are also useful for much more than vehicle maintenance. They can be used for various tasks in garages and workshops where temporary, portable or directional lighting is needed.
Good workshop lighting makes the workspace brighter and helps you see what you are working on more clearly. Explore our range of workshop lighting, work lighting and work lights to find a solution that suits your needs.
Frequently asked questions about workshop lighting
How bright should the lighting be in a workshop?
The amount of light you need depends on the size of the workshop and the type of work you do. For detailed work on a car or motorcycle, for example, it is often helpful to supplement the general lighting with a directional work light positioned close to the work area.
Which work light is best when working on a car?
When working on a car, it is practical to use a work light that is easy to move and direct towards the area where you are working. A compact light can be useful in confined spaces, while larger work lighting is suitable when a wider area needs to be illuminated.
What should you consider when choosing work lighting?
Above all, consider brightness, light distribution, positioning, size and power supply. Base your choice on where the light will be used and whether you mainly need focused lighting for detailed work or broader illumination across a larger work surface.
