by Shane Henson — March 5, 2012—Managers and personnel involved in or overseeing maintenance or construction projects, security activities, and similar indoor and outdoor tasks may find their work areas much better lit with Magnalight by Larson Electronics’ ML-7 Magnetic Mount Work Light.
Producing 3.5 million candlepower and designed to reduce the effects of damaging impacts and vibration, this work light provides powerful illumination in an easy-to-mount package, says the company. Mountable to any ferrous metallic surface, this magnetic work light is ideal for use on equipment and vehicles where an additional source of illumination is desired.
FMs will appreciate that the product can be operated from almost any 12 volt DC power source, including vehicles, boats, and industrial equipment. Designed to withstand demanding work conditions, this work light is constructed of aluminum and includes an integral rock guard to protect the lens and lamp assembly. A 100-watt halogen bulb producing the candlepower is housed within a lens and reflector assembly that is sealed together to provide additional resistance to contamination from dirt and wetness. An innovative tension hinge and rubber isolator system helps to protect the lamp assembly from damaging vibration while providing easy adjustability. Operators need only attach the light to a metal surface and aim the unit as needed, and it will hold position until moved again.
In addition, a 100-pound grip magnetic mounting base provides easy mounting to any metal surface that will accept a magnet, and an included 12-foot cord with cigarette plug provides easy power connection. An LED (light-emitting diode) indicator and power switch built into the plug offers easy connection confirmation and power control. This unit is a heavy-duty lighting solution that allows operators to produce illumination anytime it is needed simply by attaching the light to a surface and plugging it in. Potential applications include equipment lighting on construction sites, vehicle lighting for security and military operations, or industrial or outdoor activities where a powerful yet easily mounted light is needed.
