Better light for serious work.

If you are struggling to see a pencil line, the colour of a wire or the edge of a cut, it is usually the light, not your eyes.

Put the light on your work instead of over your shoulder and you see all of it clearly, without leaning in or squinting.

FORTY YEARS OF LIGHT

We have built lights
in Aylesbury
for forty years.

We spend our own days at a bench, so we know what a good bench light has to do. The Gary Light and the Workshop Light are built here.

Every one of these six puts the light on the job in front of you, with a fixing that suits your bench.

Onwards and upwards,
Alex Pratt OBE, Founder

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Here are a few things
worth knowing.

Use it on a real job at your own bench.
You have thirty days to see the difference.

30days to see
the difference
Will I need to buy a fixing?

The Gary Light has a built-in clip for an edge up to 40mm thick. The other five include a screw-down base and screws for a wooden worktop.

A G-Clamp is £19.99, a magnetic base £29.99 and a wall bracket £19.99, and all three come in black. Answer the four questions above and we tell you which fitting you need and what it costs.

Can I move it about, and is it cordless?

All six plug into a normal socket, so wherever it goes you need a socket nearby. The Gary Light clips on, so it moves easily. The other five screw down, or go on a clamp, a magnetic base or a wall bracket.

Which lights dim?

The Gary Light and the Workshop Light dim. The Workshop Light Focus, the Workshop Light Mini and both Workshop Light Reach models run at one brightness. On the Workshop Light Mini you change the beam width instead, with the two optics in the box.

What about delivery and the code?

UK delivery is free. Allow about five working days for mainland delivery by DHL.

Code EM2863 is applied for you at the checkout, and the prices on this page already show the saving. If the total does not show it, type the code into the discount box. These prices run to 31 October 2026, UK only.

What if it is not right for me?

You have thirty days to see the difference. If it is not right, call us for a full refund and we collect it from your door. All six lights have a one-year warranty.

Can you help me choose a different kind of light?

Yes. These four questions cover the six workshop lights. For a reading light or a desk light, have a look at the rest of the site or call us.

RATHER TALK IT THROUGH?

talk it through with you.
