Whether you are out bush in a 4WD, working a late shift on a mining site, or harvesting crops into the early hours of the morning, visibility is not just a luxury—it is a safety necessity. However, not all lighting solutions are created equal. For trade professionals and heavy-duty operators in Australia, the challenge often lies in finding a light that is bright enough to banish the shadows but tough enough to survive the vibration and elements.

Enter the OEX Square LED Work Light range, available at Voltage Electrical Supplies. Renowned for their reliability and robust engineering, these lights solve the common headaches associated with aftermarket lighting: poor durability and electrical interference.

In this guide, we explore why the OEX CISPR25 rated series is the upgrade your vehicle or machinery needs.

Understanding CISPR25 Ratings

Have you ever turned on your LED work lights only to hear your AM/FM radio fuzz out or your UHF crackle with static? This common annoyance is caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Cheaper LED drivers can emit "electrical noise" that disrupts communication equipment—a critical failure in remote areas where your radio is your lifeline.

The OEX work lights featured in this range are CISPR25 Rated. CISPR 25 is the global benchmark for radio disturbance characteristics in automotive equipment.

  • What this means for you: You can run your powerful OEX work lights alongside sensitive electronics (like GPS systems, engine management computers, and two-way radios) without any signal degradation. For professional drivers and heavy machinery operators, this compliance is non-negotiable.

Built for the Australian Environment

Australia’s harsh conditions demand equipment that can take a beating. The OEX Square Work Light series is engineered with longevity in mind, featuring a construction profile that resists the two biggest killers of electronics: moisture and vibration.

  • IP67 Water and Dust Proof: Whether you are crossing a river or working in a dust-choked quarry, these lights are sealed tight. An IP67 rating guarantees complete protection against dust ingress and the ability to withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

  • Rugged Materials: The housing is crafted from high-grade aluminium, which acts as an efficient heat sink to keep the LEDs running cool. The lens is made from polycarbonate, a material virtually unbreakable compared to glass, protecting the LEDs from flying stones and debris.

Finding the Right OEX Light for the Job

Voltage Electrical Supplies offers a comprehensive lineup of OEX square work lights. Choosing the right one depends on your available mounting space and the level of illumination required.

Moving up the range, the 5 and 6 LED variants strike a perfect balance between physical size and light output. These are the "go-to" options for general-purpose applications.

  • Performance: The 5-LED model pushes out 1606 Lumens, while the 6-LED version offers increased brightness for broader coverage.

  • Best For: Tray illumination, side-lighting for trucks, tractor cab lights, and camper trailer setups. The flood beam pattern ensures a wide wash of light, reducing eye strain during tasks that require peripheral vision.

3. OEX 9 LED Square Work Light

When you need to turn night into day, the 9-LED Square Work Light is the heavy hitter of the group. Utilising 9 high-output Cree LEDs, this unit is designed for scenarios where maximum visibility is critical for safety and precision.

  • Performance: A massive 3152 Lumens of light output.

  • Best For: Forward-facing work lights on excavators, high-mast lighting on service vehicles, and primary work lights for agricultural harvesters.

4. OEX 9 LED with Handle & Switch

View Product

This model takes the raw power of the standard 9-LED light and adds a layer of manual utility. It comes equipped with a sturdy handle and an integrated ON/OFF switch directly on the unit.

  • Why Choose This? It is perfect for adjustable mounting positions where the operator needs to manually direct the light (e.g., checking a load, inspecting machinery repairs in the field) without returning to the cab to flip a switch.

Multi-Voltage Flexibility (12V/24V)

One of the standout features of the OEX range available at Voltage Electrical Supplies is the 12V and 24V compatibility. You don't need to worry about buying specific voltage reducers or different models for your fleet.

  • 12V Applications: 4WDs, Utes, Camper Vans.

  • 24V Applications: Trucks, Buses, Excavators, Mining Equipment.

The internal circuitry automatically detects the voltage, ensuring consistent brightness regardless of the power source.

Key Takeaway

Lighting is an investment in safety and efficiency. By choosing OEX Square LED Work Lights from Voltage Electrical Supplies, you are opting for a product that respects your vehicle's electronics with its CISPR25 rating and withstands the rigours of the Australian landscape with its IP67 build.

Whether you need the compact utility of the 4-LED model or the commanding brightness of the 9-LED floodlight, this range ensures you are never left in the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between a Flood beam and a Spot beam, and which do these OEX lights use?

These OEX square work lights primarily utilise a Flood beam pattern. A Spot beam focuses light into a narrow, long-distance pencil beam (ideal for driving fast on highways). A Flood beam sprays light over a wide, short-to-medium distance area. This makes them superior for "work" applications—like lighting up a campsite, a construction zone, or a farming paddock—where you need to see the immediate surroundings clearly.

2. Can I install these 12V/24V work lights on my own, or do I need an auto electrician?

OEX work lights are designed for straightforward installation, often featuring a simple 2-wire connection (positive and negative). If you have basic knowledge of 12V wiring, you can likely install them yourself. However, for integration with vehicle switches, relays, or complex heavy machinery wiring, we always recommend consulting a qualified auto electrician to ensure safety and correct fusing.

3. Why is the Polycarbonate lens better than glass for work lights?

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic that is significantly more impact-resistant than glass. On a worksite or off-road track, lights are constantly bombarded by gravel, branches, and bugs. While glass might crack or shatter under this stress (compromising the waterproof seal), a polycarbonate lens will absorb the impact without breaking, keeping your light operational and water-tight for longer.
