Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Professional Lighting Tripod - GLT 300-40 is designed for tradespeople needing stable, elevated lighting on job sites. Its primary benefit is improved visibility by reducing shadows and glare, thanks to its 3-meter height adjustment. A key caveat is its voltage compatibility, requiring a transformer for use outside of Japanese 90-110V systems. This lightweight, aluminium tripod offers quick setup, compact storage, and surface-friendly feet, making it a practical accessory for compatible Bosch jobsite lights.

FAQs
What is the maximum height the tripod can reach?
The Bosch GLT 300-40 Lighting Tripod can extend up to a maximum height of 3000mm (3 meters).
What is the minimum height of the tripod?
The minimum working height for the tripod is 1210mm.
Can I use any brand of jobsite light with this tripod?
The tripod is designed for Bosch jobsite lights with a 5/8" threaded thru-hole. While other lights might fit if they have the same thread, compatibility is guaranteed with specified Bosch models.
What is the maximum weight the tripod can support?
The maximum loading capacity of the tripod is 10 kg.
Does this tripod come with a light?
No, this product is the lighting tripod only. The jobsite light needs to be purchased separately.
How much does the tripod weigh?
The tripod weighs approximately 4 kg, making it lightweight for easy handling.
Is a voltage converter included or necessary?
A voltage transformer is required for use outside of 90-110V regions. This product does not include a transformer, and one must be purchased separately if needed. A plug adapter alone is insufficient.
Troubleshooting
Tripod is unstable at full height.
Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked securely. Distribute weight evenly and avoid exceeding the maximum load capacity of 10 kg.
Lighting fixture is not securely attached.
Verify that the fixture's threaded hole is compatible (5/8" or M10) and that it is screwed on tightly to the tripod's mounting thread.
Legs are difficult to extend or retract.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the telescopic sections. Clean the sections gently and try again. Avoid forcing the mechanism.
Product not working after connecting to power.
Confirm that a voltage transformer has been used if operating outside of 90-110V regions. Ensure the lighting fixture itself is functional and correctly connected to the tripod.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improves workspace illumination by elevating light sources.
- Extremely quick and easy to set up, saving valuable time on site.
- Lightweight design makes it portable and simple to move around.
- Compact folded size ensures convenient storage and transport.
- Protects sensitive jobsite surfaces with its rubberised feet.
- Stable base for professional lighting equipment.
Cons
- Requires a voltage transformer for use outside of 90-110V regions.
- Not suitable for use with non-Bosch jobsite lights unless they have the correct thread fitting.
- Maximum loading capacity of 10 kg may limit compatibility with very heavy lighting setups.
- Fixed tilting range of 0° limits upward light angle adjustment via the tripod itself.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unfold the tripod legs until they are stable.
- Extend the telescopic sections of the tripod to the desired height.
- Secure the lighting fixture onto the tripod's M10 thread.
Compatibility:
- Bosch Jobsite Lights: Compatible with all Bosch jobsite lights featuring a 5/8" threaded thru-hole.
- Specific Models: GLI 18V-1900, GLI 18V-2200 C, GLI 18V-4000 C, and GLI 18V-10000 C.
- Voltage Note: This product is designed for Japanese voltage (90-110V) and uses Japanese plug types (Type A or B). A voltage transformer is required for use in regions with different voltage specifications to prevent malfunctions. A plug adapter alone will not suffice.
Care:
- Wipe the aluminium body and legs with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Ensure all locking mechanisms are clean and functioning correctly before and after use.
- Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
