Big Projects for 2025: Light up the Night!

Welcome to the second edition of our new blog series, in which we're showcasing some of the top-quality products from our range that will help you to achieve amazing results for your projects this year. We're starting with the basics and nothing is more basic that something every builder needs to work safely and effectively. That something is light.

Light is something that we all take pretty much for granted. But, as the old song rightly has it, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone! Here in the murky depths of winter, light seems to start fading from the sky almost as quickly as it has arrived, cutting short the potential amount of hours you have to be truly productive. What you need is a reliable source of decent light and we have got you covered here at Greengates Builders Merchants with a superb selection of work lights. 

We've got plenty of options available, all of which are brought to our customers with a cast-iron guarantee of quality at a competitive, cost-effective price point. Let's take a look at just some of them...

12V Rechargeable Inspection Torch 
If using power from the mains isn't feasible then this handy inspection torch has got your back. The torch features a powerful built in battery that can provide hours of light, after which it can be quickly and easily charged up again from a standard plug socket.

No socket? No problem! The torch also comes equipped with a convenient connection that can be attached to a car charger instead. If you need to work hands-free, simply fix the torch in place using either its magnetic base or folding hooks.

Grippa Inspection Lamp
These robust inspection lamps are available in a choice of two formats: 110 or 240 volts. Whichever you choose to suit your requirements, you'll find that it's extremely versatile thanks to tough clamps that allow them to be fixed securely to just about anywhere they're needed. 

The LED bulbs, which help to save money because of their low energy usage, are enclosed within wire cages that keep them safe from impacts. Fitted with power cords measuring a generous five metres in length, these useful lamps come complete with a hanging hook to make storage a breeze. 

Open Area Worklight 
If you want to turn night into day then this is the option you need. Let there be light! Our open area worklight delivers a dark-banishing 3,600 lumens across a complete 360° range. 
The body of the lamp is made from premium aluminium that is as strong as it is light, providing unmatched durability even in heavy duty environments. Each purchase includes a stable tripod mounting system, the legs of which can be quickly collapsed to ensure easy storage and transportation.

These crucial items form part of our comprehensive range of lighting products, which can be viewed in full on the Greengates website. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive the next installment of our 'Big Projects for 2025' blog series!
