A workbench light is an overhead, bench-supported or wall-mounted luminaire that provides task illuminance for works taking place at industrial workstations, manual assembly lines, packing tables, electronic workbenches, lab benches, jewelry polishing workstations, and visual inspection stations. Workbenches are a world of their own. Optimum visual conditions must exist to create a safe, comfortable and productive working environment. Clear visibility is crucial, but it’s not readily available with ceiling-mounted lighting. Within an industrial facility, high bay or low bay lighting whose locations are defined by the building structure is usually not adequate for visual challenging tasks performed on workbenches. In addition, obstructions below the luminaire mounting plane can produce shadows over the workstation. Workbench lights are intended to provide a uniform, localized, and higher level of illumination. Localized lighting is an important contributor to sustainable lighting design. By placing lighting closer to the work surface, the tasks can be illuminated more effectively and lighting is delivered in a more efficient way. Localized lighting also helps direct attention on the visual task, which contributes to a reduction in errors and accidents.
