1. Common Types of Lighting Tools

Work Lights

Ideal for job sites and workshops. Offer high lumen output for wide-area illumination. Often come with stands or magnets.

Flashlights

Handheld and portable. Suitable for inspections, emergencies, or mobile use.

Headlamps

Worn on the head to free up hands. Great for confined spaces or maintenance work.

Utility/Trouble Lights

Often used in automotive repair. Designed with hooks or cords for flexible hanging or placement.

2. Key Features to Consider

Lumen Output

Determines brightness. Choose higher lumens for larger or darker workspaces.

Power Source

Corded models offer continuous power; cordless models provide mobility and safety.

Battery Type

Lithium-ion batteries are preferred for cordless tools due to long life and fast charging.

Durability

Look for water and dust resistance (e.g., IP65 rating) for harsh environments.

Runtime

Check how long the light operates on a single charge or battery cycle.

Mounting Options

Magnetic base, tripod stand, hanging hook, or wearable design—choose based on your work needs.

3. Choosing Based on Application Scenario

Construction Sites

Use high-lumen work lights or weatherproof floodlights.

Workshops and Garages

Choose corded utility lights or LED bench lights.

Outdoor or Emergency Use

Portable, rechargeable flashlights or headlamps are more reliable.

Automotive Maintenance

Opt for magnetic base lights or flexible hanging trouble lights.

4. Notes on bulk purchases

Ask About OEM/ODM Support

If you want to sell under your own brand, check whether custom packaging or logos are available.

Check MOQ and Delivery Terms

Confirm minimum order quantities and lead times, especially for large-scale orders.

Focus on durability and battery performance if your tools will be used in outdoor or industrial conditions.

Offer a mix of lighting options if you're a distributor—some buyers prioritize mobility, others need continuous high-output lighting.

Work with a supplier who provides reliable warranty, fast shipping, and responsive after-sales service.
