Despite the fact that this measure does not yet apply to low-voltage halogen lamps and the fact that halogen worklights are still available in many places, we still recommend that you make the switch to LED worklights. There are more differences between the two types of worklights than just their energy consumption. These differences will be further explained below. Due to the warm light color emitted by halogen work lights, the human eyes get tired faster. This is a lot less with LED lighting, as the light color of LED work lights is very similar to daylight. To prevent accidents, we therefore strongly recommend companies to use LED work lights. This will improve safety on the road. Difference in light colour between LED work lights and halogen work lights. 3. Sustainability

The example above clearly shows the difference in price between the different work lights. In the example we have compared the TRALERT® LED worklight TRSW12276R with the Hella Ultra Beam worklight. Because the bulbs used in the LED work lights are smaller than halogen bulbs, the smaller in size LED work lights also have a good light output. In addition, the reduction in size of the bulbs ensures that the LED lamps have a higher light density. Besides the difference in energy consumption, it is good to make the comparison between the different light colors. The LED worklight produces a light color that can be compared to the general color of daylight. In contrast, the halogen worklight emits a dark, warm light color. Practice has shown that this warm color works less efficiently.The use of traditional lighting leads to increased CO2 emissions. According to Milieu Centraal, LED lamps use 75% less electricity than halogen lamps and 85% less than incandescent lamps. - – NOS 2. Safety As briefly introduced above, there is a lot of difference in the energy consumption of a halogen worklight and a LED worklight. The major advantage of LED work lights over halogen work lights is the reduced energy consumption. According to the NOS, a halogen worklight consumes 75% more energy than an LED worklight. In addition, traditional lighting also causes more CO2 emissions. In addition to energy consumption, halogen worklights also emit a lot of heat. This is because the lamp converts about 30% of the power consumption into light. The lifespan of LED worklights as opposed to halogen worklights is enormous. Where a halogen lamp lasts about 500 hours (12.5 working weeks), the LEDs from a good LED worklight can last up to 50,000 hours. In some cases this is even longer than the machine on which the LED worklight is mounted.
