Portable Lighting Solutions for Tight Spaces

Portable Lighting Solutions for Tight Spaces

KH Industries LED portable lighting systems provide flexible, high-quality illumination for confined and hard-to-access shipyard work areas:

  • Add-A-Lights & Quad Lights: Daisy-chain up to 20 units for continuous, evenly lit workspaces.

  • Durable construction: Shatter-resistant bulbs and shock absorption protect against drops and rough handling.

  • Applications: Ideal for inspection, welding, assembly, and detailed maintenance tasks on naval vessels.
