The Spectroline EK-3000 EagleEye UV-A/White Light LED Inspection Kit (patents pending) features the palm-sized, cool-running EagleEye inspection lamp. It is engineered with two ultra-high-intensity UV-A (365nm) LEDs and a three-LED white light assembly. An adjustable strap allows the lamp to be worn on a hard hat or directly on the head for hands-free operation. A built-in fan keeps the lamp cool to maintain optimum UV-A intensity during prolonged inspections. Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it provides up to 45 minutes of continuous inspection between charges.

DeWALT’s 18V Cordless Fluorescent Area Light has a rotating hook allowing the unit to hang from two-inch materials.
As much as you’d like your day to start after the sun is up and end before it goes down, it rarely happens. So for those early mornings when your crew kicks off work before daylight, and those days that extend into the moonlight, Masonry is reviewing several types of lighting for small and large jobsite projects. From handheld to free-standing, these lighting sources will allow you to work as long as you need to complete your masonry missions.Hands-Free UV Light Source

The FoxFury Nomad is a 3,600-lumen dual action LED area light and spotlight. At 17 pounds and 33 inches, it can be carried through the worst terrains imaginable and still deploy in 20 seconds. An internal, rechargeable lithium ion battery provides 2.5 to nine hours of light. The Nomad offers three intensities and converts from an area light to spotlight by quickly detaching its diffuser lens. The telescope reaches up to eight feet tall, and the light head rotates 340° and is as bright as your car’s high beams. No cords or charging at the scene is needed. The Nomad is all-weather and impact resistant. It was designed to provide either area or spot lighting in 20 seconds.
