Metabo has added three compact cordless construction lights to its range. The LED lights are specially designed for construction sites and are therefore also ideal for work in winter storage. The smallest version, the BSA 12-18 LED, works with a COB LED and delivers a luminous flux of 2000 lumens. Rechargeable batteries from the CAS interchangeable system can be used as power sources, both 12-volt and 18-volt versions. The BSA 18 LED 4000 and BSA 18 LED 10000 models are equipped with SMD LEDs and, as floodlights, illuminate larger work areas evenly. The maximum light output is 4,000 and 10,000 lumens respectively, and the brightness can be continuously adjusted.
The lamps are also protected against dust and splash water in accordance with IP54, and the lens has spark protection. The larger versions are designed for 18-volt rechargeable batteries, while the top model can also be supplied with power via a mains cable for continuous operation. The small spotlight costs from 130, the large ones 203 and 309 euros respectively.
