Frequently asked questions about the Portable lamps category
What are portable lamps and what are they used for?
Portable lamps are mobile lighting devices for temporary, focused illumination in workshops, garages, camping and emergency situations. Our range includes pocket flashlights, desk lamps, headlamps and rechargeable ceiling work lamps (e.g. 10W 1000 lm IP54) suitable for repair, inspection and on-site lighting.
What types of portable LED lamps are available and how do they differ?
Our portable LED lamps include ceiling work lamps 6+1 LED (280+70 lm / 300+100 lm), 60W handheld work lights and 27/52 LED strips 5 m long. They differ by luminous flux (lm), protection rating (IP20/IP54), power source (220V mains or rechargeable battery) and construction (metal, plastic, rubber).
Are there portable lamps for car workshops and which models suit them?
Yes — we stock 60W garage work lights with metal or plastic grille, 100W metal handheld lamps and bright ceiling work lamps. For workshops choose robust construction (metal+rubber) and splash-protected models for durability in garage environments.
What are portable quartz lamps and what are they used for?
Portable quartz lamps are UV-emitting units used for disinfecting air and surfaces. They’re used in medical and industrial settings; operation requires safety precautions and controlled exposure time to be effective and safe.
How do portable bactericidal lamps differ from quartz lamps?
The terms overlap: bactericidal lamps commonly use quartz UVC tubes to kill microbes. The difference is semantic — 'bactericidal' denotes disinfection purpose, while 'quartz' refers to the lamp technology/material of the UVC source.
What specs matter when choosing a portable lamp for a workshop?
Check luminous flux (lm) for brightness, protection rating (IP54 for dust/water resistance), power source (rechargeable or 220V) and durable construction (metal/rubber). Also consider cable length or magnetic mounts and LED arrays (27/52 LEDs) for even illumination.
Which portable lamps are rechargeable and what are their specs?
We offer rechargeable ceiling work lamps (e.g. 10W 1000 lm IP54) and 6+1 LED rechargeable models. Key specs include 10W power, ~1000 lm luminous flux, IP54 rating for damp locations and a built-in battery for autonomous operation.
What IP rating is needed for a portable lamp outdoors or in a garage?
For outdoor use or damp garages choose IP54 for dust and splash protection. We have IP54 models (e.g. 10W 1000 lm); IP20 is acceptable for dry indoor locations.
How to choose between a portable lamp with metal or plastic grille?
A metal grille offers greater mechanical durability (good for workshops), while plastic is lighter and corrosion-resistant. For heavy professional use pick metal or metal+rubber; plastic is fine for light domestic tasks.
What are the sizes and cable lengths of the 27/52 LED 5 m portable lamps?
The 27-LED and 52-LED items are supplied as 5 m LED strips providing even illumination over long work areas. Exact housing dimensions vary by model; the LED strip length/cable is specified as 5 m.
