Fact #1. Proper lighting is vital to any workplace, whether it be a factory, workshop, or office. This is because people receive roughly 85 percent of their information through sight. Most people know that dim lighting can severely hamper a person's ability to gather necessary information with their eyes, but the opposite is also true. Light that is too bright can be just as detrimental.
Fact #2. In a workshop, where employees are often using sharp, dangerous machinery, adequate lighting is doubly important. It increases workplace safety in addition to productivity. Having a well-lit shop can greatly reduce the incidence of workshop injuries for multiple reasons. Momentary blindness caused by moving from a brightly lit area to a dimly lit area, or vice versa, is the cause of many injuries in workshops.
Fact #3. It's important to note that the correct level of lighting is dependent on the nature of the task. For example, intricate and highly detailed work, such as assembling tiny components, or dangerous work, such as using a band saw, requires brighter light than unloading a truck.
Fact #4. If you're looking to illuminate a full workshop with task lighting, overhead LED or fluorescent fixtures are usually the best. The cost of entry to fluorescents is cheaper, but they will burn-out quicker than LED. This requires you to spend additionally money to periodically replace bulbs. Fluorescents also have a tendency to flicker, which can be very distracting.
Fact #5. If you want portable lighting that you can move from job site to job site, a single or double-head, floor-standing halogen lamp is usually the best choice. They're capable of creating a high degree of illumination from a compact unit, and come in flood or spot beam options. Most are built with a focus on durability.
