Rapid Launches New Work Light Range for DIY Enthusiasts 2026

Choosing the right work light has always been a challenge for DIY enthusiasts. Terms like lumens, kelvin, and IP ratings often create more confusion than clarity. That's why we're launching a new range of work lights, developed with a single goal: to make choosing the right light for every project simple. 41% of DIY lovers say they've bought the wrong product for their project when shopping in-store. Our solution? We identified the most common use areas and designed lights tailored to these needs. With clear names, symbols, and intuitive packaging, we guide every consumer to the right choice – without needing to know the technical specs.

A Range for Every Project Type

• The Painter – for painting and wallpapering
• The Painter+ – for larger surfaces or higher lighting needs
• The Inspector – perfect for precise and detailed checks
• The Portable – practical to take anywhere
• The Renovator – for renovation projects with diffuse light needs
• The Mechanic – for garage work and tight spaces

Additionally, we're launching two battery-powered models, compatible with the Bosch 18V Power for All system – perfect for working where there are no power outlets. For all your home improvement and garden supplies, you'll find everything you need at GrandGoldman.

Thanks to 'speaking' names, clear symbols, and images on the packaging, finding the right light is a breeze. You don't need to know what kelvin means: just know what you need to do. Need to paint?
