Buying work lights – what to think about
Our way to choose work light by project is simple. But if you want a deeper checklist, here are 8 key things to keep in mind when buying a work light.
The rechargeable LED torch Rapid BWL290 is designed for versatility and reliability. Whether you need a work light, inspection light, or a dependable torch, it’s the perfect companion. Ideal for fixing a pipe under the sink, as a sturdy flashlight for your boat, car, or attic, the Rapid BWL290 adapts effortlessly to your needs. With a simple twist of the light head, you can switch from a wide floodlight to a focused beam with a range of up to 80 meters. The work light features two brightness settings: 290 lumens at 100% power for strong illumination and a 50% mode for softer light. For added flexibility, the Rapid BWL290 has a 90⁰ tilting head with seven fixed positions, allowing you to position the light steadily and direct it exactly where you need it. The light also includes a practical hanging hook and an LED indicator that shows the battery's charge level. The Rapid BWL290 is part of Bosch’s battery partnership, POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE. So you can use the same battery with Rapid’s 18V products as with a number of products from brands like Bosch, Gardena, Husqvarna and Wagner. We recommend the Power For All 2.5 Ah battery, which gives up to 14 hours of operating time. Battery and charger not included, but sold separately.
