LED Work Lights for Construction & Earthmoving
Work lights, beacons and direct-fit headlights for excavator, loader and compact-equipment OEM programmes: tested to your vibration profile, IP69K, polycarbonate lens, 9–32 V DC, with reports and ECE R10 documents per model.
A work lamp on an excavator meets the rock, the rain and the pressure washer before any other part on the machine does, and a fleet notices it only when the boom lamp goes dark halfway through a night shift. This page is written for the people who specify that lamp: OEM engineering and purchasing teams at excavator, loader, dozer and compact-equipment builders, attachment manufacturers and rental fleets.
The short version: one 9–32 V DC lamp family built for the boom, the counterweight and the wash bay, tested on our own vibration table to the profile on your drawing, with a report and the approval documents issued per model.
Common Challenges in Construction & Earthmoving
The boom lamp goes dark on a night shift
Track drive and bucket impact shake an unsealed lamp apart long before its LEDs wear out, and the machine loses its most important light first.
Rock, rebar and the pressure washer
Flying debris cracks lenses and the daily wash bay finds any housing that is not sealed and potted.
Two voltages, two part numbers
Mixed 12 V and 24 V fleets double the spare-part lines when each lamp is built for one electrical system.
What earthmoving OEMs ask about first
In the order the questions usually arrive: will it survive the machine, will it survive the wash bay, will it survive a rock, does one part cover 12 V and 24 V, and how much light does each position need. Certification comes last, as a documentation line. The table follows that order and shows where we stand on each line today. Where a figure is model-specific we say so rather than quote a range.
Send the spec sheet and we mark our status against every line
Vibration profile, IP rating, supply voltage, connector, certifications: you get a line-by-line answer, and a test report per model where one exists.

Lamp positions on an excavator or wheel loader
An earthmoving machine carries five to nine lamps in five or six positions, and each position asks for a different output and beam. The table pairs each position with the models most often specified there. All are 9–32 V DC with brackets available.

Get RecommendationsHow an OEM programme runs
There are two routes, depending on whether your drawing calls for a catalogue lamp or a new part.
Catalogue and private label. Any of the 300-plus lights in the catalogue can be supplied under your brand from 60 pieces per model, with your logo, packaging, connector and cable length. Samples ship first, typically within 1 to 5 days, and production runs in 15 to 25 working days.
Custom development. Where the mounting position, beam or housing is new, we develop the lamp to your requirement: design in 7 to 15 days, a 3D-printed prototype in 5 to 7 working days, production tooling in 30 to 45 days and pre-production samples in 7 to 10 working days, which puts the first bulk shipment at four to five months from design start. Tooling can be shared and amortised into the unit price or funded by you for a lower unit cost, and products developed for you can be covered by an exclusivity agreement. The full process is on our custom development page.
Send the drawing, or a photo and the machine model, and our engineers will come back within 24 hours with a feasibility assessment and next steps.
Testing we do in house
The equipment behind the status table sits in our own factory, which is what lets us answer a specification line with a report rather than a promise.
Vibration table for broadband random profiles, run to the profile on your drawing. This is the first line most earthmoving specifications open with, and the first report we issue.
Thermal shock chamber, salt spray chamber and dust chamber for the environmental lines of the specification.
Photometric darkroom for beam pattern and intensity, so the flood, spot or cut-off on the drawing is measured rather than assumed.
EMC anechoic chamber for radiated emissions to CISPR 25, the test behind the class we quote per model in the documentation pack.
Reports from these tests are issued per model on request. Where a line calls for third-party type approval, such as ECE R10, we hold the approval for four round work lamp models (40 W, 50 W, 60 W and 90 W) and can route further models through the same laboratory.
Need the test report for a model? Existing reports are sent on request; where none exists yet, we can run the test to the profile on your drawing.
Request test reportsCameras and controllers on the same machine
Earthmoving machines increasingly carry cameras, proximity sensors and telematics, and a lamp that passes EMC on the bench can still disturb the controller mounted beside it on the machine. Our guides on why E-marked lamps still interfere with radios and GPS and infrared lights for machine cameras cover the two questions OEM engineers integrating lighting with sensor packages ask us most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vibration test report can you provide?
We run your vibration profile on our in-house table and issue the report per model, together with thermal shock, salt spray and dust results where the specification calls for them. We do not quote one figure for the whole range, because the profile on your drawing is the one that matters.
Can one part number cover our 12 V and 24 V machines?
Yes. The work light range runs on 9–32 V DC, so one part number serves 12 V compact machines and 24 V excavators without a converter. Beacons and safety lights are also offered in 10–48, 10–60 and 10–110 V DC versions.
What lens and guard options do you offer for rock and rebar?
The lenses are impact-resistant polycarbonate rather than glass, on stainless steel brackets. Lens guards and reinforced brackets are built to your drawing, and the sealed solid-state build has no bulb to shatter.
What is the minimum order and lead time for an OEM programme?
Catalogue and private-label lamps ship from 60 pieces per model in 15 to 25 working days, after samples that typically ship within 1 to 5 days. A custom-developed lamp reaches first bulk shipment about four to five months from design start, including tooling.
Can you build a lamp to our drawing?
Yes. We develop lamps to customer requirements from design through 3D-printed prototype to production tooling, and products developed for you can be covered by an exclusivity agreement. Send the drawing, or a photo and the machine model, for a feasibility assessment within 24 hours.
Which certifications and EMC class do your lamps carry?
Four round work lamp models hold ECE R10 approval: 40 W, 50 W, 60 W and 90 W. Tough Lighting lamps are built to CISPR 25 Class 4 as standard, and selected models reach Class 5; because EMC performance varies by model, we confirm the class and the documentation for each specific model. CE and E-Mark documentation is available on request.
