Lamp base

What is a lamp base?
Everyone has come across a lamp base at some point. Another term for a lamp base is a magnetic base. A lamp base is the bracket underneath the LED work light that allows it to be attached to a surface. This makes it easier to mount the light onto a truck. Using a magnetic base makes the work lights much more flexible. Thanks to the magnet, the LED lighting can be easily positioned anywhere on the vehicle. Should the situation change, the work lights with the lamp base can also be easily repositioned.
Advantages of a base
LED work lights with a lamp base have significant advantages over LED work lights without a lamp base. First to mention: the freedom of positioning. A traditional LED work light is mounted with a tripod to the body of a vehicle by means of screws. Fixed mounting' makes the work light difficult to move. In this case, an LED work light with magnet (bracket) has greater freedom of movement. Another advantage of a rechargeable LED work light with magnet is its voltage independence.
When buying LED work lights, in many cases the voltage level must be taken into account. An LED work light that supports 12V cannot be connected to the voltage of a truck (24V). The internal components and associated resistors are not adapted to this. With an LED work light with magnet, you do not need to worry about this. This is because the voltage of your vehicle is not consulted.
TRALERT® product range
As an interim solution for everyone, in many cases we also offer a loose magnetic base with our LED work lights. This makes it possible for an LED work light that does not originally have a magnetic base to still work with a magnetic base. In addition, our range of LED work lights is fully equipped with the best quality bases. TRALERT® lamp bases, for example, do not cause damage when mounted.
