Bench work after dark? Cut to the line by daylight.
See a pencil line, the colour of a wire and the edge of a cut as clearly after dark as you do by day, under a workbench light that shows colour at 98% accuracy right over your work. If they have been getting harder to see, it is usually the light, not your eyes.

Work into the evening under the Workshop Light
Pencil lines and edges look sharper the first time you switch one on.
Ordinary light is missing part of the spectrum. A Workshop Light delivers all of it, straight onto your work.
Colours look true, even after dark.
Ordinary light leaves gaps in its spectrum and scores about 80 for colour accuracy. The Workshop Light scores 98: brown looks brown, red looks red, and a stain dries the shade you matched.
A fitted lens keeps the beam on your work.
A beam lens comes fitted, so the light lands on your work rather than the wall behind it. The LED behind it is built in, and rated for 30,000 hours.
Half a metre of reach puts the light right over your work.
It has a 500mm flexible arm, so the head goes right over your work. Bend it and it holds, next to a running pillar drill. One button switches it on and dims it.
You see the detail without leaning in.
A Workshop Light gives you the complete daylight spectrum, every colour present, and directs all of it at the piece in front of you, so the edge of a cut shows as a clean line, and a brown wire never looks like a red one.
Ordinary light scatters around the room. A Workshop Light directs its full spectrum onto your work.
Here are the same five wires under both lights.
Colour accuracy is scored out of 100, and daylight is the 100. Ordinary light scores about 80. The Workshop Light scores 98.
Fit it once and work by daylight every evening.
Its 500mm flexible arm gives you about half a metre of reach plus the head, and it scores 98 out of 100 for colour accuracy.

It screws down and never moves.
The Workshop Light
It comes with its screw-down base and fixings in the box, so it goes straight onto a wooden worktop and stays aimed for good. A swivel head does the fine adjustment. Rather not drill? A clamp, a magnetic base or a wall bracket fits in its place, sold separately below.

Fix the Workshop Light wherever you work.

G-Clamp, £19.99.
Clamps to the edge of a bench or a shelf and holds hard, then comes off when you want the bench clear. Nothing to drill.
Magnetic base, £29.99.
Drops onto any steel surface and lifts off again. No drilling.
Wall bracket, £19.99.
Screws to the wall or the back of your bench, so the light comes in over your work and your worktop stays clear.
Built to be the best, not the cheapest.
Where a cheap clamp lamp shows colour badly and its arm droops, the Workshop Light shows colour at 98% accuracy and holds wherever you bend it.

Household names and professionals work under Serious lights.
The experts on The Repair Shop work under our light on camera. Lifeboat crews, air traffic controllers and telescope engineers work under it too. When yours arrives, you will share a light with every one of them.
The light that arrives at your bench carries the same engineering.

Which mounting is right for my bench?
For a fixed bench, use the screw-down base that comes with it: once it is in the worktop it cannot move. If you work across more than one spot, put it on the G-Clamp at £19.99, which holds the edge of a bench or a shelf and comes off when you want to move it.
For a steel surface you cannot drill, take the Workshop Light with the magnetic base at £29.99, which holds without drilling and lifts off in a second.
What does CRI 98 mean in practical use?
The Colour Rendering Index measures how faithfully a light reveals colour against natural daylight, which scores 100. A low score does not look dim, it looks flat.
Ordinary lighting sits near 80 because its spectrum has gaps, mostly in the reds. The Workshop Light scores 98, so grain, annealing colours and wiring codes stand out.
Does the light spread or focus?
It comes with a beam lens fitted, which keeps the light on the piece in front of you instead of spilling across the bench.
Bend the arm and swivel the head to put it exactly where you are working.
How big is it?
It has a 500mm flexible arm, so from the base or the clamp you have about half a metre of reach, plus the head on the end of it.
Bend the arm down low for close work or stand it up tall to light a wider patch of bench, and it holds whichever shape you leave it in.
What comes in the box?
The light, with its beam lens fitted, and a plug-in driver for ordinary UK mains. The Workshop Light comes with its screw-down base and fixings.
Magnetic bases, G-Clamps and wall brackets are sold separately, so you only pay for the mount you will use.
Can the LED be replaced?
No. The LED is built in and cannot be changed.
It is rated for 30,000 hours, and the driver that powers it plugs in separately.
Is delivery included?
It is free if you order with an offer code, and otherwise it costs £12.95. Either way it comes by DHL, within about five working days on the UK mainland.
If you send it back inside the thirty days, you get a full refund and we collect it.
Do I need an electrician?
No. It runs off a plug-in driver that goes into a normal thirteen amp socket, so there is nothing to wire in.
Fitting is a screwdriver job: mark the base, put the screws in, bend the arm to where you work.
What if it is not right for my bench?
You have thirty days to see the difference. If it is not right for your bench, call our Aylesbury team on 0800 032 9364 for an exchange or a full refund, and we collect it from your door.
The same number gets you the workshop if anything goes wrong later. We have repaired our own lights for forty years.
Will there be more of them?
No. The Workshop Light is a final batch with no more scheduled.
Every one is brand new and boxed.
