Which is the right workplace light? When it comes to the right lighting at an industrial workstation, this question often arises. PS Lighting offers a range of workplace lights specifically designed for the needs in assembly areas, electronics manufacturing, and laboratories. In this article, we take a look at four different workplace lights known for their high functionality and versatility.
The difference between a workplace lamp and a workplace light?
Before we dive into the details of each model, let’s briefly clarify the difference between a workplace lamp and a workplace light. These terms are often used interchangeably, but there are technical differences.
Workplace lamp: In everyday language, the term “lamp” often refers to an individually deployable light source. Technically, however, “lamp” refers to the light source itself, such as an LED module or an incandescent bulb.
Workplace light: The term “light” describes the complete unit that contains a lamp – essentially the entire permanently installed lighting solution including housing, wiring, and possibly a reflector or cover.
With this knowledge in mind, it becomes clear that the products presented below are technically workplace lights, as they represent complete lighting solutions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about our Workplace Lights
Industrial workplace lights should be robust, durable, and resistant to dust, moisture, and chemical impact. They must also provide adequate brightness (depending on the task performed) and be glare-free to ensure safety and efficiency in the workplace.
In industrial environments, workplace lights should have at least the protection class IP54 to be protected against dust and splashing water. In particularly harsh conditions, a higher protection class, such as IP65 or IP67, may be required.
Color temperature plays an important role in productivity and well-being. In industrial applications, a daylight-like color temperature (approximately 5,000–6,500 K) is often preferred, as it promotes concentration and supports natural color rendition.
Optimal lighting is achieved by positioning the light so it illuminates the entire work area evenly, without creating shadows. A combination of direct and indirect lighting can help to avoid glare and improve light distribution.
Yes, dimmable lights are especially useful because they allow you to adjust the brightness to the specific task or environmental condition. This is particularly important in areas where changing lighting requirements exist.
