Illuminate your workspace with the Clarke SMD2700L Work Light
A tough, foldable 30W LED floodlight that turns late-night garage jobs into daylight — the perfect companion for riders who like to wrench after hours.
If you’ve ever found yourself balancing a torch between your teeth while trying to line up a fairing bolt, you’ll appreciate the value of a good workshop light. The Clarke SMD2700L 30W Foldable Work Light is one of those bits of kit that you don’t realise you need until you’ve used it. After a few sessions in the garage with it, you’ll quickly wonder how you ever managed without it.
The rugged foldable frame of the SMD2700L doubles as a stand or hanging handle, while the aluminium housing looks ready for workshop life — oily hands and the odd knock pose no problem here.
The business end of the light comes courtesy of 30 watts of LED output pushing out a whopping 2,700 lumens - bright enough to turn a dingy shed into daylight. It also boasts IP65 dust- and water-resistance, exactly what you want around bikes, which seem to attract fluids and winter muck from every direction.
Good lighting makes all the difference when you’re doing your own maintenance. From chain cleaning and brake checks to fiddly wiring jobs, being able to actually see what you’re doing means fewer stripped bolts and a lot less swearing. And given that most of us end up doing these maintenance tasks after work, the chances are that it’ll be sub-optimal lighting you are working in.
The SMD2700L’s foldable design means it can sit on the floor, hook on a bench or even hang from a handlebar if you’re improvising. The adjustable angle lets you flood an entire workspace or focus on a specific spot — ideal when you’re deep in an engine bay or behind a fairing.
It’s mains-powered, so no worrying about dead batteries mid-job, and the power cable is long enough to reach across a single-garage bay comfortably. The light output is a cool white, so details pop without casting the yellow tint that cheaper lamps often do.
For a motorcyclist’s garage, the Clarke SMD2700L packs brightness, durability and practicality in one compact and cost-effective package. It’s tough enough for everyday use, bright enough for precision work, and compact enough to store easily when you’re done. If you work on your own bike — whether it’s late-night tinkering or full-on servicing — this is the light you’ll end up using every time.
