Larson Electronics’ Magnalight.com has released a magnetic LED work light designed to provide output comparable to 250 watt metal halide fixtures while improving reliability and reducing energy use, according to the company. Lighter and producing less heat than comparable metal halide lamps, the AML-LED-WP40-M is ideal for a wide variety of applications including automotive mechanics, racing, inspections, and general shop work lighting.

The AML-LED-WP40-M Mechanics LED Work Light from Magnalight.com produces high output illumination comparable to metal halide fixtures, yet is smaller, cooler running, and more versatile. Designed for illuminating in and around the shop during vehicles repairs, these LED fixtures are constructed of high strength aluminum and powder coated for protection from the elements as well as grease and oil. A shatterproof polycarbonate lens provides excellent lamp protection, and a waterproof and vapor proof sealed assembly ensures full protection against rain and damaging conditions.

These LED work lights produce 1,462 lumens in a long flood pattern, allowing them to effectively illuminate large work areas, such as the underside of a vehicle while removing a transmission. The AML-LED-WP40-M consumes only 40 watts, making it far more efficient than comparable halogen or incandescent shop lights, and the high quality LED assembly provides high resistance to vibration and impacts as well as an excellent 50,000 hour operational life, according to Magnalight. A single 200 lbs grip magnetic mount provides versatile mounting, securely mounting this light to hoods, underbodies, shelving, and walls to name a few. An adjustable bracket allows the light to be repositioned vertically for optimal light beam placement.

These automotive work lights can operate with 120-270 volts AC. Larson Electronics includes 12 feet of connecting cord with this LED shop light, which provides plenty of length should operators choose to mount the unit in locations well removed from a convenient power source. These LED wall pack lights offer much better performance than metal halide units as they do not require any warm up or cool down time and produce full power the moment they are switched on. These LED lights do not have any ballast, which improves reliability and reduces maintenance costs, and the long 50,000 hour operational life means the lamp will operate for years before requiring replacement, according to the company.
