PowerSmith

PowerSmith work lights help homeowners, contractors and campers light a bench, a room or a campsite. Rechargeable lights let you work away from an outlet, while tripod lights give you a way to position light off the floor. Choose the light around where it’ll sit and how you’ll power it.

PowerSmith is a product brand manufactured by Richpower Industries. Richpower is based in Williamston, South Carolina, and has offered products since 2002. The PowerSmith range includes LED lighting, laser tools, ash vacuums and lawn-and-garden equipment.

Put the light where the work is

The 800-lumen rechargeable PowerSmith work light is an option when your work takes you away from an outlet. Position it close to the task and keep your hands out of the light’s path.

For bench work, PowerSmith also offers a 2,000-lumen LED work light. Choosing by lumens before thinking about placement is an easy mistake: your hands and tools can shade the exact spot you’re trying to see. Put the light where it reaches the work from beside you.

For a room project, the 8,000-lumen dual-head PowerSmith work light comes with a tripod. Getting the light off the floor gives you more freedom to place it around the work. Set it to one side of your working position so your body stays out of the beam.

PowerSmith also offers rechargeable clamp lights and folding magnetic-base lights for jobs where an available edge or suitable steel surface provides a mounting point.

Pay attention to the Voyager package

The Voyager jobsite lantern offers three-way power in a package with a battery included, and a light-only version is also offered. The package matters. The Voyager 8,000-lumen rechargeable work-light console has its power options sold separately.

Inspection, layout and cleanup

PowerSmith’s lighting range also includes LED inspection lights.

For layout, PowerSmith’s clamping self-leveling cross-line laser projects crossed, vertical or horizontal lines and includes an adjustable base, clamp, pouch and two AA batteries.

PowerSmith also makes ash vacuums for ash cleanup; let the ash cool completely before cleanup and follow the vacuum’s operating instructions.

The PowerSmith lawn-and-garden range includes string trimmers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, a chainsaw and a mower.

Frequently Asked Questions

How bright are PowerSmith LED work lights?

PowerSmith LED work lights include 2,000-lumen lights and dual-head tripod setups rated at 30,000 lumens. More light helps when you’re covering a larger work area, but placement still matters: a brighter light behind you still throws your shadow across the job. Match the output to the area you’re lighting, then aim it so your body doesn’t block the beam.

Can you use a PowerSmith work light without plugging it in?

A rechargeable PowerSmith work light can run away from an outlet, but brightness can change with the power source. One combination light provides 5,000 lumens on AC power and 1,000 or 500 lumens on its built-in battery, with a stated battery runtime of up to two hours per charge. For a longer task, that runtime matters as much as the brightest setting.

Do PowerSmith work lights come with a tripod?

PowerSmith offers dual-head LED work lights with a tripod, plus a 4,500-lumen rechargeable light with a tripod. One dual-head setup adjusts from 30 to 65 inches and has an extendable leg for leveling on uneven surfaces. Fully extending its tripod legs and tightening the locking knob gives you a secure setup before you aim the light.

Does a PowerSmith Voyager light come with a battery?

The PowerSmith Voyager jobsite lantern comes in a battery-included package or a light-only version, while the 8,000-lumen rechargeable work-light console has its power options sold separately. If you need a lantern with a battery supplied, the battery-included package is the relevant choice. The word rechargeable describes how a light operates; it doesn’t promise a battery in every package.
