Tripod, stand or clamp work light?
A work light is portable light that goes where the job is. The first choice is how it holds itself up: on a tripod, on a stand, or clamped to something. Here is what each is for, and the Zone work lights of each type.
At a glance
| Type | Best for | Zone work lights |
|---|---|---|
| Tripod | Lighting a whole room or job site from above head height | Z-20000-DT-2 |
| Stand | Aiming light at the work from the floor, a bench or a step | Z-7000T, Z-1000-10 |
| Clamp | Light right over the work, off the floor: shelves, rails, ladders | Z-1200-C |
Tripod work lights
A telescoping tripod lifts the light above head height and stands on its own in the middle of a room or a job site. Good for lighting a whole space where there is no ceiling light yet.
- Dual-head tripod work light (Z-20000-DT-2): Twin heads tilt and swivel. Telescoping tripod.
Work lights on a stand
A low folding stand sets the light on the floor, a bench or a step, aimed where you work. Easy to pick up and move as the job moves.
- Work light with stand (Z-7000T): Corded. Folding stand doubles as a handle.
- 1,200 lumen portable work light (Z-1000-10): Folding stand. Plug-in cord. 1,200 lm.
Clamp work lights
A spring clamp grips a shelf, rail, ladder or bench edge, so the light sits right over the work without taking floor space.
- Clamp work light (Z-1200-C): Spring clamp grips rails and shelves. Head tilts on the yoke. Rated for wet locations, indoors or out. 1,200 lm, 10 W, ETL listed · wet rated.
