Light first or cord first?

Two kinds of product sit side by side here: the lights, and the cords and taps that power them. Decide which you need first. For the light, compare lumens rather than watts, since lumens measure the light produced. The power source sets where it can work: some run from a cord to a wall outlet, others from a 12 V vehicle socket through a lighter-plug cable, and some add USB ports or AC outlets for other tools. Also look at how it stands or hangs and how well the housing handles dust and damp.

Cord gauge, length and weather rating

Extension cords and taps are rated by voltage and amperage, and the conductor gauge decides how much current a cord can carry over its length. In the American gauge system a lower number means thicker wire: 12/3 means three 12 AWG conductors and carries more current over longer runs than 16/3. Long runs need heavier gauge to limit voltage drop and heat. Check the plug type, a grounded three-prong plug for tools, and a weather-rated jacket for outdoor use. Some items here are not power cords at all, such as telephone extension leads, so confirm the rated voltage.

Questions about Work Lights for the Job Site and Garage

What matters more on a work light, watts or lumens?
Lumens. They measure the light actually produced, while watts only show power drawn, and efficient LEDs give far more light per watt than older bulbs. Compare lumens, beam spread and color temperature to judge how well a light will cover the work area.
What does 12/3 mean on an extension cord?
It means three conductors of 12 AWG wire. The lower the first number, the thicker the wire and the more current it carries safely over a distance. Use 12/3 or 14/3 for power tools and long runs, and lighter cords only for small loads.
Can I use an indoor cord outdoors?
Only if it is rated for outdoor use. Look for a weather-resistant jacket and an outdoor marking on the cord, and keep connections off wet ground. Indoor cord jackets are not built for moisture, sunlight or low temperatures.
