Philips LED workshop lamp range
GW readers try out LED workshop lamps from the Philips offering and share their feedback as the darker nights approach.

To help out, GW has got its hands on the latest range of workshop lamps from Philips and, with the help of some GW readers, we’ve been lighting up those dark, difficult-to-see components that VMs like to hide away from easy access. All of the lights we tested feature Philips LED light units and have been designed to give optimum comfort and lighting levels for professional technicians. Mobile mechanic, David Marr gets
