Our inventory includes trusted brands like Larson Electronics, Southwire and Worksite Lighting. We also offer vapor and explosion-proof solutions to provide efficient illumination in hazardous environments where airborne contaminants or flammable materials are present. Our portable light rentals are well maintained and routinely serviced to ensure reliable operation in the field.

Learn more about our work light rental equipment in our FAQ section below.

Which type of portable light is best for my work?

This depends mostly on the type of jobsite you’re working on, how much luminescent power is required and whether your lighting needs to be portable. Hand lamps, balloon lights and drop lights can all be great portable choices for construction work, as they’re easy to use and move and provide excellent visibility. For broader coverage, you may need to consider a light stand or portable light tower. We encourage you to consult with your site manager to determine which lighting source best suits your needs. Need more help? Check out our Project Uptime article “Five Tips for Renting a Portable Light Tower."

How many watts should an outdoor light be?

For outside lighting purposes, 80 watts and lower is plenty. However, for industrial or worksite lighting needs, more wattage might be necessary. United Rentals offers portable work lights with a range of wattages for any application.

How does this lighting equipment perform in different weather conditions?

Our lineup of lighting equipment is versatile for use in most of the weather conditions your crew will face on the jobsite. If you are concerned about extreme weather conditions affecting your next outdoor lighting rental, reach out to your local United Rentals branch.
