Work trucks are items of incredible versatility. They function not only as your transportation to and from a job site, but also as your storage, your office, your toolbox, and so much more. If there’s one way to maximize the functionality of your truck even further beyond what it’s already capable of, it would be to add LED lights!
LEDs, or light emitting diodes, are incredibly efficient and versatile tools that you can use to get even more out of your work day and your truck. Here at Levan Machine and Truck Equipment, the wide array of lighting options that we offer includes many LED lights that can bring you unmatched value, illuminating your work and vastly increasing the safety of every jobsite you find yourself on! Here’s why your truck could use some added LEDs, and some of the most popular types that we have available.
Visibility and Safety
Late nights and early mornings will be no match for you and your work truck when you have LED lights to rely on. The increased visibility that these lights can provide you is of the utmost importance, allowing you to increase your flexibility in terms of working hours.
Even more importantly, adding lights to your work vehicle is a powerful way to increase your own safety and the safety of your employees on the job site. With higher visibility, your team will have the freedom to perform precise or cautious work with accuracy, and the use of LED lights for applications such as road work will make it easier for nearby drivers to avoid you, improving the safety conditions of potentially hazardous scenarios.Â
Energy Efficiency
LED lights are highly efficient additions to any truck or work vehicle. Whether hardwired or running on their own dedicated battery, you can expect them to run consistently well on low amounts of energy, emitting little to no heat and avoiding draining unnecessary energy from your truck that you need for other things.
Long Lifespan
Not only are LED lights bright and efficient, they’re long lasting as well! Each light emitting diode in an LED light has thousands of hours worth of use in it, and an LED light upgrade for your work truck can potentially last you for many, many years, allowing you to get the full use out of your truck for the entire length of its lifespan!
Types of LED Lighting
Bed Lights
Bed lights in pickup trucks are one of the most common types of LED light upfits that we do here at Levan Machine and Truck Equipment, and one of the most impactful. Although it’s a simple addition, you simply can’t beat the convenience of being able to illuminate your truck bed to find exactly what you’re looking for, even on dark nights, cloudy days, or inside poorly lit structures like garages!
Interior Lights
Interior lights are very common additions to vans and box trucks, providing vital visibility inside of dark areas where you’ll likely be storing important tools, supplies, and items, and where you might also be doing work that needs to be seen to be done properly. Interior lights can also be a useful upgrade in pickup trucks, especially if you frequently do paperwork or other administrative duties from the cab of your truck, to help you avoid straining your eyes!
Area Lights
Poor visibility on the jobsite can lead to shoddy workmanship, lost tools and supplies, and the potential for injury– all things you want to avoid. Adding simple LED area lights to your work truck can alleviate all of these problems in a flash! Finishing up the last few tasks for the day as the sun is going down or working on an overcast day no longer has to be difficult when your truck can act as a mobile spotlight, illuminating whatever you need it to. LED area lights can also act as warnings to passersby, especially nearby motorists, that there is work going on and workers to be careful of, making it easier for your crew to stay safe and avoid the possibility of being hurt on the job.
LED lights for your work truck or other work vehicle could be just the thing you need to brighten up your workday! Levan Machine and Truck Equipment can help you find the lighting option that suits your needs, so contact us today to learn more.
