Illuminate your space with the right kind of light

Sometimes our work can have us in some spaces that require a little more light. We might need to carry a flashlight or lantern to see what we are doing better in those areas. It is always good to consider what kind of job or space we will be working with. Different types of flashlights or lanterns will work better depending on the job, so it is best to figure out which one is right for you.

Small enough to keep anywhere you need it

It is always a good idea to have handheld flashlights on hand at any job, whether in a warehouse or office. No matter where you work, you will eventually need to check out a dark space in a closet or under a desk. When you can spare a hand, the classic handheld flashlight will do the trick. Pen-style flashlights can fit in your pocket, backpack or a keychain, so they are easy to get to, or you can get a larger Mag-lite flashlight to keep in your desk or closet.

Brighten up the whole room

If you need more than a directional light like a flashlight can give you, then try something that can illuminate more space, like a lantern. Lanterns work well for those jobs that take you into a large dark room, working outdoors at night, or if the power goes out. Lanterns can be hung or placed on a table where they can shine in all directions. Also, you should use a lantern when you need to be using both hands for a job.
