Martin Kjær Petersen, CEO at SCANGRIP A/S (part of the Hultafors Group), shines a light on the key characteristics that will ensure your work lighting can stand the test of time.
As a leading LED work light manufacturer, SCANGRIP is taking an ambitious strategic step forward by committing to develop LED work lights with minimised environmental impact while at the same time improving energy efficiency and expanding lifespan.
For decades we’ve developed premium, innovative LED work lights that meet the demands of the professional user, continuously adding more features and pushing the boundaries. In today’s world, customers are looking for more than just products with great features and functionality – they want tools built to stand the test of time.
We’ve now come to a point where we have to ask ourselves: “What is the future of work lights?” We believe the future lies in sustainable solutions, not just great features. We’ve therefore made a strategic decision to focus our development on creating the most energy-efficient and long-lasting work lights.
New FOR LIFE approach
Every aspect of each product has been reimagined, from design and appearance to electrical components and LED light source. This concept is called FOR LIFE and represents a new approach in SCANGRIP’s development process where maximising energy efficiency and durability are key priorities.
The lifespan of the new work lights has more than doubled to an impressive ten years. This brings extended durability and a reduction in their environmental footprint.
Utilising the most efficient LEDs, enhancing heat dissipation, and optimising the electronic driver design have resulted in efficiency improvements of up to 50%. In addition to the extra lifespan, users now benefit from an extended five-year warranty cover on the FOR LIFE collection.
Featuring advanced battery technology, the new work lights provide a doubled recharging lifespan of 1,000 cycles. A new advanced battery management system with temperature surveillance prevents harmful exposure such as overcharging or deep discharging.
The design enhancements ensure optimal performance while promoting sustainability by allowing users to replace necessary parts instead of discarding the entire product.
Another improvement comes from the constant lumen output performance over time, which has been enhanced even further. This is measured according to European standard EN 13032-1 which is the most restrictive measuring method for lights. In addition, recycled materials have been incorporated in both the design and packaging.
13 of Scangrip’s top-selling work lights have undergone a complete transformation when it comes to visual design and come with a range of enhanced features that provide numerous benefits to the end-user, including:
• OPTILight functionality for optimised lighting and runtime.
• Intuitive and smart indicators in the operating design.
• In-use battery level indicator and low battery flash notification on handlamps.
