This guide shows how to choose luminous flux, beam pattern, voltage and ingress protection, and which approvals apply to vehicles and machines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"g-short\"><b class=\"t\">Short answer<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Lumens are not everything<\/b> \u2013 the beam pattern decides where the light goes. Spot reaches far, flood lights wide and close.<\/li>\n<li><b>Colour<\/b> \u2013 5000\u20136500 K is most common. High colour rendering makes it easier to tell cables, hoses and markings apart.<\/li>\n<li><b>Voltage<\/b> \u2013 lamps for 9\u201332 V suit both 12 and 24 V. Electric forklifts and rail vehicles may need higher voltages.<\/li>\n<li><b>E-mark (UNECE R10)<\/b> \u2013 shows the lamp meets vehicle EMC requirements, so it does not disturb radio and electronics.<\/li>\n<li><b>IP67 and IP69K<\/b> \u2013 withstand immersion and high-pressure hot-water washing respectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Lumens, candela and lux \u2013 what do the figures mean?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Lumen (lm)<\/b> is the luminous flux, the total amount of light the lamp emits. Many manufacturers quote raw lumens, calculated from the LEDs. Effective lumens account for losses in optics and lens and are always lower. Compare like with like.<\/p>\n<p><b>Candela (cd)<\/b> is the luminous intensity in a given direction and <b>lux (lx)<\/b> the amount of light reaching a surface. Illuminance falls with the square of the distance: 1,380 cd gives about 150 lx at 3 metres but under 40 lx at 6 metres.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/scn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/scn-guide-led-f1-en.webp\" alt=\"Diagram: a lamp with a luminous intensity of 1,380 candela gives about 150 lux at 3 metres but under 40 lux at 6 metres, because the same light is spread over an area four times larger\" width=\"1520\" height=\"540\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Double the distance gives a quarter of the illuminance. Lux on the work surface tells you more than lumens on the box.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Small lamps of 500\u20131,500 lm suit step and close-range lighting. Large machines often carry several lamps or light bars of several thousand lumens each.<\/p>\n<h2>Beam pattern: spot, flood or wide?<\/h2>\n<p>The lens or reflector decides the beam pattern. The choice depends on where and how far away you need light.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/scn.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/scn-guide-led-f2-en.webp\" alt=\"Comparison of three beam patterns: spot with a narrow beam that reaches far, flood with a wide, even beam close to the lamp and a wide 120\u2013180 degree beam for scene lighting around the vehicle\" width=\"1520\" height=\"520\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>The same luminous flux can give very different beam patterns. The optics decide where the light goes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"g-tbl\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Beam pattern<\/th>\n<th>How the light spreads<\/th>\n<th>Suits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">Spot<\/td>\n<td>Narrow beam that reaches far<\/td>\n<td>Long-range lighting, e.g. on forestry and mining machines<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">Flood<\/td>\n<td>Wide, even light close to the lamp<\/td>\n<td>The work area around excavators, tractors and trucks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">Wide (scene light)<\/td>\n<td>120\u2013180\u00b0, light spread along the vehicle<\/td>\n<td>Emergency vehicles, service vans and loading bays<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">Combination<\/td>\n<td>Spot and flood in one lamp or bar<\/td>\n<td>Light bars on work vehicles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>A common set-up is flood to the front and sides where the operator works, and spot where you need to see far.<\/p>\n<h2>Colour temperature and colour rendering<\/h2>\n<p>Colour temperature is given in kelvin. Vehicle work lights are usually 5000\u20136500 K, a cool white close to daylight that gives good contrast. Warmer light, around 3000\u20134000 K, is often perceived as less dazzling when rain, snow or dust reflect the light.<\/p>\n<p>Colour rendering is given as Ra or CRI, where 100 equals daylight. A value of 70 or more is enough for most tasks, but anyone who needs to tell colour-coded cables, hydraulic hoses or timber grades apart benefits from a higher value.<\/p>\n<h2>Voltage, EMC and approvals<\/h2>\n<p>Most work lights handle both 12 and 24 V, often with a range such as 9\u201332 V or 10\u201330 V. Electric forklifts and mining machines often have higher battery voltages, and rail vehicles run on 24, 72 or 110 V DC. Check that the lamp handles the voltage in the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>An LED lamp has a driver that switches the current. A poor driver can interfere with FM and DAB radio and two-way radio. An E-mark to UNECE Regulation No. 10 (R10) shows the lamp has been EMC-tested for road vehicles. The mark consists of an E, a number for the approving country and an approval number.<\/p>\n<div class=\"g-tbl\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Regulation<\/th>\n<th>Covers<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">UNECE R10<\/td>\n<td>EMC for vehicles and components, gives the E-mark. Also applies to work lights.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">UNECE R148<\/td>\n<td>Light-signalling devices such as reversing, position and direction indicator lamps. Replaces older regulations such as R23 for reversing lamps.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">UNECE R149<\/td>\n<td>Road illumination devices: headlamps, front fog lamps and auxiliary driving lamps.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">UNECE R65<\/td>\n<td>Special warning lamps, such as amber and blue beacons.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">ADR<\/td>\n<td>Requirements for electrical equipment in vehicles carrying dangerous goods, such as tankers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"n\">EN 50155 and EN 45545-2<\/td>\n<td>Electronics and fire protection on rolling stock.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Work lights are not type-approved for lighting the road while driving and should be used when the vehicle is working. In Sweden, for example, white light to the rear may only be used when reversing or for work that requires it.<\/p>\n<h2>Sealing, vibration, heat and service life<\/h2>\n<p><b>IP67<\/b> means the lamp is dust-tight and withstands temporary immersion in water. <b>IP69K<\/b>, sometimes written IP6K9K, comes from the vehicle standard ISO 20653. The lamp must withstand high-pressure washing with 80 \u00b0C water at 80\u2013100 bar at close range. That matters on machines that are washed often, for example in agriculture, food transport and mining.<\/p>\n<p>Vibration and shock wear out solder joints and brackets. Choose lamps with die-cast aluminium housings, potted electronics and a sturdy bracket. Polycarbonate lenses withstand stone chips but should have a UV-resistant coating so they do not yellow.<\/p>\n<p>LEDs are sensitive to heat. The heat is carried away through the lamp&#8217;s cooling fins, and some lamps reduce their output automatically when they get too hot. Service life is often given as L70, the number of hours until the luminous flux has fallen to 70 % of its initial value.<\/p>\n<div class=\"g-short\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\">An LED lamp gives off almost no heat forwards. Snow and ice therefore do not melt off the lens as they do on a halogen lamp. For snow clearing and winter use there are lamps with a heated lens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Mounting, glare and warning lights<\/h2>\n<p>Mount the lamps high and aim them down at the work area. Avoid lighting the machine&#8217;s own parts, such as the boom or bonnet, as that causes reflections and shadows. Do not aim the light at the cab or at others working nearby. In dust and snow, lamps mounted some distance from the operator&#8217;s line of sight cause less glare from reflected light. Make sure cables and connectors, such as Deutsch DT or AMP Superseal, have the same sealing class as the lamp.<\/p>\n<p>Beacons, light bars and directional arrow bars warn others of a vehicle that is stopped or working on the road. In Europe they are approved to UNECE R65. Amber is used on work vehicles such as recovery trucks, snowploughs and service vehicles, while blue is reserved for emergency vehicles. North American products are often marked SAE Class 1 instead.<\/p>\n<h2>Application examples and common mistakes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Agriculture and forestry<\/b> \u2013 tractors, combine harvesters and forestry machines working long shifts in the dark.<\/li>\n<li><b>Construction<\/b> \u2013 excavators, wheel loaders and dumpers with high demands on sealing and vibration resistance.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mining<\/b> \u2013 light bars with very high output and a wide voltage range.<\/li>\n<li><b>Forklifts and warehouses<\/b> \u2013 a blue warning spot on the floor ahead of the forklift tells pedestrians it is approaching.<\/li>\n<li><b>Rescue and service vehicles<\/b> \u2013 scene lighting around the vehicle, combined with warning lights.<\/li>\n<li><b>Rail<\/b> \u2013 lighting for bogies and work areas under the train, to EN 50155.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol class=\"g-pit\">\n<li><b>Comparing raw with effective lumens.<\/b> The figures are not comparable. Ask for lux at a given distance instead.<\/li>\n<li><b>Wrong beam pattern.<\/b> Spot where you need flood gives bright patches and dark zones.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cheap lamp without an E-mark.<\/b> Radio interference is often only discovered once the lamp is on the machine.<\/li>\n<li><b>IP67 on a machine that is pressure-washed.<\/b> IP67 is not tested for high-pressure washing.
