LED Work Light 3 Inch 12W 960 LM
The SLL-0802-12 is a 3 inch square LED work light designed for trucks, trailers, cranes, and construction equipment that operate in dusty, wet, or vibration-heavy environments. Twelve 1W Osram LEDs deliver 960 effective lumens in a wide flood beam pattern, providing even illumination across the immediate work zone without creating a hot spot. The die-cast aluminium housing with IP68 sealing and overvoltage and overheat protection ensures reliable operation in harsh conditions, while the 9–32V DC operating range supports both 12V and 24V vehicle systems.
- 960 effective lumens in a wide flood beam pattern cover the full work area around the machine instead of a narrow bright spot
- IP68 sealing and a durable polycarbonate lens prevent water and dust ingress during pressure washing or outdoor use
- Overvoltage and overheat protection prevent damage from electrical surges or prolonged high-temperature operation
- 9–32V DC operation allows the same part number to be used on both 12V and 24V fleets, reducing SKU complexity
- Die-cast aluminium housing with UV-resistant polyester powder coating resists corrosion and fading in direct sunlight
Where This Lamp Is Used
- Side and rear work lighting on trucks and trailers during night loading and unloading
- Cab roof and underbody lighting on cranes and construction machinery operating in low light
- Auxiliary lighting on forestry and utility vehicles where vibration and moisture are common
- Loading bay and cargo area illumination on service and delivery vans
- Temporary work lighting on trailers and mobile equipment used in remote or off-grid locations
Who It Is For
- Distributors of vehicle lighting needing a single part number for 12V and 24V systems
- Machinery OEMs fitting work lights on production lines with consistent mounting and electrical interfaces
- Fleet operators replacing halogen lights that fail under vibration or after a few hundred hours
- Truck and trailer accessory brands building a private label work light range
- Construction and mining equipment dealers requiring durable, long-life lighting for daily use
Problems It Solves
- Halogen work lights fail early under vibration and draw significantly more current than LED alternatives
- Cheap sealed lights allow water entry through the cable gland and fog up after repeated wash cycles
- Narrow beam lights illuminate only a small area and leave the edges of the machine in shadow
- Lights not rated for 9–32V DC require different part numbers for 12V and 24V vehicles, increasing inventory
- Painted metal housings degrade under UV exposure and salt spray, leading to premature rust and failure
Technical Features
- Twelve 1W Osram LEDs with a real power draw of 12W and 12W maximum rating
- Wide flood beam pattern with 960 effective lumens and 1,080 raw lumens
- Semi-gloss black powder coating over the full housing and bracket
- Bare wire lead of 40cm as standard with overvoltage and overheat protection built in
- Operating voltage range of 9–32V DC, compatible with 12V and 24V systems
- Rated for -40 to +85 degrees Celsius, suitable for extreme cold and hot climates
- IP68 sealing and a sealed cable entry gland prevent water and dust ingress
- Lifespan of more than 50,000 hours under continuous operation

Quality Control on This Model
- Photometric output verified in an integrating sphere
- Sealing verified against the IP68 rating before shipment
- Vibration testing on a vibration test machine to reproduce machine mounted service
- Salt spray corrosion testing on housing coating and stainless bracket
- High and low temperature alternating humidity testing across the -40 to +85 degrees Celsius window
Customisation Options
- Deutsch DT connector instead of the standard 40cm bare wire lead
- Spot beam optics in place of the flood pattern
- Private label logo on the housing and printed carton
- Alternative cable length for a specific machine harness
- Mixed cartons combining this lamp with other SUNLITEC models for trial orders
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Halogen work lamp of similar output | Draws 1A at 12V against roughly triple that for halogen and survives vibration that kills a filament |
|---|---|
| Round 3 inch work lamp | The square body puts more LED area behind the same mounting footprint but needs a flat surface for the bottom bracket |
| Spot beam version of the same lamp | Flood covers the near working area evenly while spot reaches further ahead but leaves the machine edges dark |
| Larger 4 inch work lamp | Lower output but fits tight spaces like cab pillars and guard rails where a 4 inch body will not clear |
How to Fit and Use It
- Mount on a flat surface using the bottom bracket and check the 32mm bracket width against the machine bracket before drilling
- Leave a drip loop in the 40cm lead so water runs away from the gland rather than into it
- Aim the flood beam at the working area close to the machine and use a spot lamp separately for distance
- Clean the PC lens with water and a soft cloth only, since solvents will haze the anti-scratch coating
Questions About This Model
Can I order a sample before placing a bulk order
Yes. Sample orders are welcome and mixed samples of different models in one shipment are accepted.
What is the lead time
Sample orders normally take around 3 to 7 working days. Bulk lead time depends on the model and the quantity ordered.
Do you have a minimum order quantity
There is an MOQ for standard orders, but smaller orders are also accepted, which suits distributors testing a new model.
How is the lamp shipped
Samples usually go by DHL, UPS, FedEx or TNT in around 4 to 7 days. Bulk orders ship by air in about 7 to 15 days or by sea in about 15 to 30 days.
Will this lamp work on both 12V and 24V machines
Yes. The operating range is 9 to 32V DC, so the same part number can be fitted to 12V and 24V vehicles.
Can you supply the lamp with our own brand
Yes. OEM and ODM service is available, including a private label logo on the housing and printed cartons.
Is it approved for road going machines
The lamp is CE and RoHS compliant, which meets basic electrical and environmental standards for road use.
