Lighting plays a critical role in ensuring accuracy in industrial operations. Beyond improving visibility, proper illumination enhances production safety and inspection precision. In this article, we introduce the CLA-02 and CLK-02 work lights from PATLITE, designed to meet diverse industrial requirements.

PATLITE is a leading manufacturer of industrial signal devices and work lights, recognized for its high quality and precision engineering. With extensive experience and continuous product development, PATLITE provides solutions ranging from general industrial applications to environments requiring high hygiene standards, resistance to water, chemicals, and high-pressure washdowns.

This article highlights the key features and application examples of two models from PATLITE (Thailand): CLA-02 and CLK-02.

Industrial Work Light CLK-02 for Machinery and Production Lines

In the past, work lights were simply used for illumination. Today, increasing production standards and safety requirements demand more—uniform brightness, reduced shadows, minimized dark spots, and resistance to harsh environments such as dust, water, oil, and chemicals.

CLK-02 is engineered to deliver high-quality illumination with excellent durability and long-term reliability. With IP66G / IP67G / IP69K protection ratings, it performs reliably in environments exposed to dust, water, oil, and machine vibration. Available in multiple configurations, including general illumination and spot lighting options, its robust construction supports continuous operation while reducing heat buildup. The flexible mounting design allows installation on machinery, worktables, and production lines, making it ideal for CNC machines, metal processing lines, and assembly areas.

Applications of CLK-02
• CNC machines and metal processing equipment
Designed to withstand oil, coolant, and flying metal chips, providing precise illumination at cutting points and workpieces to reduce errors and improve safety.

▲ CLK-20 Oil-Resistant Work Light

• Production and assembly lines
Can be installed above workstations or conveyor belts to ensure uniform lighting and improved visibility of components.

• Maintenance and inspection areas
Suitable for localized lighting needs with adjustable light direction for detailed inspection work.

Industrial Work Light CLA-02 for Food, Pharmaceutical, and High-Hygiene Environments

The CLA-02 is an industrial work light developed for industries where hygiene and sanitation are critical, such as food processing, beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and facilities requiring frequent washdowns and sterilization. It is rated IP67/IP69K, enabling resistance to high-pressure washdowns as well as direct cleaning with hot and cold water. In addition, it is certified by ECOLAB, demonstrating resistance to cleaning chemicals and sterilization processes used in the food and pharmaceutical industries without compromising structural integrity or performance.

The CLA-02 delivers stable, uniform illumination with reduced shadows, allowing operators to clearly inspect fine details. It is ideal for quality inspection tasks, food production lines, pharmaceutical filling rooms, and cleanroom environments. The housing is designed for easy cleaning, with minimal crevices to prevent dirt accumulation and reduce contamination risks. In addition to the standard cable connection (JS type), the CLA-02 is available with an M12 connector (CS type) and M12 daisy-chain connection (CL type), helping reduce wiring
