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.
