Think emergency workers responding to callouts, maintaining utilities, repairing roads, fixing power disruptions. During the day, every day, trades and maintenance workers do precision tasks in hard-to-access places, where daylight never penetrates   None of them can afford to get it wrong. The price of mistakes is high, in terms of human safety, work disruption and lost revenue. Lighting is the key to success, but it comes with problems, including a lack of mains connection in remote, rugged areas. Lights are often: - Over-bright, dazzling and distracting workers. - Dim, making falls, fatigue and errors more likely. - Hard to adjust in terms of temperature and tone. - Too heavy and awkward to carry any distance. - Not strong enough to take an on-site pounding. - Not dust or water resistant for mining/shipping use. Whether you want to light up a large room for painting, or rewire a dark, poky fuse box, Ledlenser provides a solution.   ### **A well-lit pathway to success** The new range of Ledlenser AF Series area lights lifts the bar for commercially available, multi-purpose LED work lighting. Powerful and portable, this market-leading German technology can light up the darkest and most impenetrable places – boosting safety and increasing performance in a broad range of work applications. From the smallest [AF2R](https://www.blackwoods.com.au/electrical/portable-lighting/worklights/ledlenser-zl502921-af2r-work-light-1000lm-rechargeable-multi-positional-integrated-ruler-red-blink-led/p/03971306) to the largest, most durable [AF12R](https://www.blackwoods.com.au/electrical/portable-lighting/worklights/ledlenser-zl502913-af12r-work-floodlight-8000lm-rechargeable-mains-hybrid-ip67-diffuser-tunable-white-light/p/03971357) (with a peak performance of 8,000 lumens), each light in the range offers five brightness levels, Bluetooth connection, flexible mounting options and colour rendering index. There’s something for everyone. Bright lights for large areas, warm lights for staging, homogenous lights for close-up work. Hybrid mains-battery option or plug-in only. #### **Shine a light in the darkest place** Calling all plumbers, electricians, painters, craftsmen, DIYers, miners, mechanics and emergency responders.
