Bosch’s Bright LED Bluetooth Work Light

Bosch’s new LED light integrates Bluetooth technology and will make illuminating your work site more accessible.

Going into a new job site, you never know if you will have electricity and working lights. Even when you do, the light might not be bright enough or shine where you need to work. Bosch has innovated their already functional LED lights to make a better one for the user who needs a bright light without it being a blinding light.

Bosch has innovated with their GLI18V-1200CN 18V Connected LED Area Light with Bluetooth to make working in an area that needs light more accessible. This LED tool has features to make your lighting situation less stressful, make the device more durable, and be able to work a lot longer.

Duration Time?

Boasting about a bright light is great, but if it only lasts an hour or two on a single battery, what is the point? Glad to say that this 1,200-lumen LED light can get up to 10.6 hours on a Bosch 6.0 Ah battery. This battery gives you plenty of time to work an entire eight-hour shift with plenty of time to spare.

If you have the CORE18V 8.0 Ah battery for an even longer run time, this 1,200-lumen light can run up to 17.3 hours on a single charge. That is two eight-hour shifts without ever having to recharge your battery. Get as much work time as you need depending on your battery, but you will get a full day’s work no matter your choice.

How Sturdy?

Working at any site can mean you will be bumping things over by accident. That causes items to fall into the water or get covered in dust.

You do not need a work light that cannot manage a knock to the ground or shorts out if it falls in water or gets covered in dust. The GLI18V-1200CN has an IP64-rated cover and a protective roll cage, which means that this LED light is durable enough to oversee the most challenging workdays or the clumsiest of workers.

What’s New?

When you think of lighting, what can you improve upon? It is a light; it shines, and it does its job. Well, that is where Bosch thought of all the little inconveniences that happen to workers that make them waste time or make it hard to work.

For instance, when you turn on a light in a dark room that is so bright, you are blinded for a few seconds or must squint your eyes to see anything. Bosch developed a fade-in function to help ease the brightness you need for your task without the blinding pain for your eyes.

Bluetooth connectivity is the most significant feature they have added to their LED light. With the Bosch Toolbox App, you connect any mobile device to your LED and get the full range of the tool. Adjust the brightness remotely without having to leave your work area. Dim or brighten the space as you need for work. Please put it on a timer and check the battery level on your device. That way, you ensure you get the optimal time out of the light. Finally, remotely turn it on or off when you leave a room, come back, or call it done for the day.

Final Thoughts

A durable, lightweight LED is a beautiful thing to have on any site. But having one with a remote control to adjust to fit your needs is fantastic. With a range of 100 ft., connect your tool no matter where you are on the job site. Check the battery and turn off the light when unused, saving you energy until needed.

Illuminate your entire job site with this 1,200-lumen light, and be sure you will have light to get your work done no matter where you go or where your job takes you.
