Southwire E233ME 75W Trouble Work Light 6ft 16/3 Cord

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE E233ME is a 75-watt incandescent trouble work light designed for job-site and maintenance use. It features a 6-foot, 16/3 grounded safety stripe cord that provides a clear visual indicator of the ground conductor. The metal head guard protects the bulb from impact in tight or cluttered work areas, and a swivel hook allows hands-free positioning on conduit, rebar, or overhead structures. A double outlet at the fixture head lets a tech plug in a second tool or light without running a separate extension. At 4.8 pounds, it is built for durability in demanding field conditions.

This trouble light is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, attic access areas, and panel work where a portable, grounded light source is needed. Electricians, HVAC techs, and plumbers reach for a unit like this when overhead or fixed lighting is absent or insufficient. The 16/3 cord gauge handles the 75-watt lamp load with adequate capacity, and the grounded plug meets basic job-site safety requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow NEC guidelines for temporary wiring on construction sites. Always verify the circuit is grounded before plugging in the unit and confirm the outlet supplying power is GFCI-protected when working in damp or wet locations. Do not exceed the 75-watt maximum lamp rating, as overlamping creates a fire hazard. Inspect the cord for damage before each use and replace if the safety stripe jacket is cut, frayed, or abraded.
