In this review Adam Stears from SOTA Electrical takes a closer look at the SCANGRIP lighting range from Hultafors Tools.
I’ve produced a few video reviews for the PE YouTube channel in recent times, and the latest one has given me the opportunity to showcase some of the big hitters from the SCANGRIP lighting range, which have been put to good use on some daily jobs.
AREA 10 CONNECT
This product has been an absolute god-send in a number of scenarios. The unit is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications and provides a diffused and uniform light up to 10,000 lumen, which is ideal for the professional user who requires powerful and efficient illumination of the entire work area. It allows the user to change between 180 ̊ and 360 ̊deg illumination, depending on the task at hand.
I’ve been using this now for months and one of the things I really like about it is the diffuser, which ensures the light won’t blind you at all. You simply pop the light down in its chosen location and then increase the brightness.
Sometimes when I’m working it’s really useful to be able to do so with hands-free lighting. The AREA 10 facilitates this by incorporating a hook at the bottom of the unit, so if you have somewhere close by that you can hook the product onto, it will provide you with all of the light that you need.
MAG PEN 3
This rechargeable LED pencil work light provides 150 lumens. It has a lovely soft grip and includes a clip so that it can be put on your belt or in your pocket for safe-keeping. It has two torch functions – the lamp head and precision top light – which is absolutely perfect when you’re carrying out inspections.
Tower 5
This impressive floodlight with integrated tripod offers up to 5,000 lumens and is quick and easy to set up – all you need to do is fold out the legs. It then has two clips which allow for simple height adjustment. With the ability to point floodlights in opposite directions to another, it’s very easy to light up an entire space.
Impressively, these products are compatible with battery systems for the major brands, thanks to the use SCANGRIP CONNECTOR. Usefully, the light can also be powered from the mains through the use of a simple adapter.
NOVA R
Another product in the SCANGRIP lighting stable is the NOVA R – a portable light which offers a lovely compact design and features a handle on the back that also doubles up as a stand. Again, the unit is simple to operate – you just push the button on the back and you have your light. This comes in particular use when you’re working in those smaller areas, such as above ceiling grids.
NOVA MINI
The baby brother to the NOVA R, this product is very similar to the core product but comes in a much smaller package. It has 1,000 charging cycles and comes with a five-year guarantee and a 50% increased lighting output.
I had a great experience with trialling these products and would recommend readers check out the full review on the PE YouTube channel, where you can see the types of applications and environments in which they were used.
