New Bayco 10,000 Lumen LED Work Light Stands Tall at 8 Feet - Firefighting Equipment

Bayco SL-1530

Bayco Products, provider of tough, durable and affordable lighting since 1984, has announced their new high-lumen Bayco model SL-1530, a 10,000-lumen LED dual fixture work light on a tripod stand.

The Bayco SL-1530 LED Work Light has dual light fixtures that can be directed independently of each other allowing users to position each fixture exactly where light is needed. The two side-by-side LED fixtures are attached to a base unit that can be removed easily from the tripod stand and placed on the floor for low-angle illumination. The included 8-foot tripod stand extends the dual fixtures up to 8 feet off the ground for the largest projects out there.

Each work light fixture has a tempered glass lens, and is powder-coated for long wear and durability with a multi-fin heat sink design keeping each fixture cool to the touch. The comfort-grip handles makes transporting and positioning this work light a snap, and the center-mounted handle aids in removing, mounting and moving the base unit. The model SL-1530 work light has a 12-foot 18/3 SJTW cord for all-weather use and Bayco stands behind their included one-year limited warranty.

“10,000 lumens is a tremendous amount of light for those large-scale jobs and our new SL-1530 provides the added versatility of both high and low illumination in a compact portable work light that is easy to set-up and use at any job site,” says Russell Hoppe, Marketing Manager for Bayco. “The secret to the success of a high-lumen work light is in delivering high quality and durability at an affordable price. The SL-1530 LED work light will undeniably light up your work space large and small all at a price point starting in the low $200s (USD). We take our responsibility as a manufacturer to reduce the burden that delivering high-lumens has historically placed on the pocketbook very seriously. Now that’s a secret worth sharing.”

  • Each cool to the touch LED produces 5,000 lumens (combined 10,000)

FLIR Systems, Inc. Sponsorship to Fund Thermal Cameras for National Fallen Firefighters Foundation

EMMITSBURG, MD – The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) is proud to welcome FLIR Systems, Inc., the world leader in thermal imaging, as a Gold Sponsor. The NFFF will direct proceeds from FLIR’s sponsorship to fund programs that honor the fallen, assist their survivors and aid in the prevention of future line-of-duty deaths and injuries by delivering more thermal imaging cameras (TICs) to more firefighters on the line.     

FLIR designs and develops a variety of thermal imaging cameras for firefighters, including handhelds, ladder mounted cameras, and aerial drone kits that allow firefighters to gain a perspective from multiple angles.  With the ability to see in complete darkness and see through smoke, to identify hot spots, to navigate safely, or to remain oriented during response missions and locate and rescue victims easily, FLIR provides a thermal solution to help improve awareness and safety of firefighters.  

The United States Congress created the NFFF to lead a nationwide effort to remember America's fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit foundation has developed and expanded programs to honor fallen fire heroes and assist their families and coworkers.  The NFFF also works closely with the fire service to help prevent and reduce line-of- duty deaths and injuries.  

“We are very pleased to have this new partnership with FLIR and appreciate their support of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s efforts to keep firefighters safe and reduce line-of-duty deaths,” explained Chief Ron Siarnicki, Executive Director of the NFFF.

“FLIR’s mission is to outfit every firefighter with a thermal imaging camera,” said Richard Wexler, marketing director of FLIR Instruments. “Our partnership with the NFFF will allow us to make progress in this mission by equipping more firefighters with thermal imaging cameras, helping them work safer and save more lives. We’re honored by this partnership and look forward to working together with the NFFF to make a difference within the firefighting community.”
