Valostore is a European wide online store specialized in portable LED lighting. We have a really wide, constantly evolving range of products in auxiliary lighting for vehicles (driving lights and worklights), flashlights and headlamps, bicycle lights and worksite lighting. Our employees have a great professional knowledge and experience in different lighting applications. The most important goal for us is satisfied customer and to achieve that goal we are committed to work for. We strive to help our customers to find the best and most appropriate lighting for their needs. Whether it's a small headlamp for kids to play outside, flashlight for professional industry use or equipping a car or big truck with additional lights or any other need, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Valostore was founded in Finland in 2009. In 2013 we expanded to Sweden, in the summer of 2015 to Norway and in 2022 we opened an online store in Denmark. Now in 2023 it was time to open a global store, so we announced Valostore.com.

Products and customers

In our product selection you will find products from the market's leading manufacturers of portable lighting. We strive to test most of the products we sell in our lighting laboratory (more info about the laboratory below), in order to have the opportunity to give you as a customer an honest information about the real performance of the lights. This is to simplify the jungle of information that comes from the various manufacturers' labeling of light performance, which from our experience is not so trustworthy. Comparison between different lights can be carried out in our online store, where we give the information about real measured lumens, range, colour temperature, CRI and so on beside the information stated by the manufacturer in the product pages.

Our customers are private individuals, municipalities and professionals from various authorities, such as the police and military, fire brigade/rescue services and companies in the security industry, mining industry, trucking industry and construction industry to name a few. In other words, anyone who strives to get the best and most suitable lighting is our potential customer.

Our customers are always welcome to visit the laboratory and familiarize themselves with our measuring equipment and practices on site. The best time to visit is on weekdays at 10-16. The light measurement equipment we use consists of several different equipment, the most important of which are: SSL BTC-20 - light beam testing system and Labsphere FS2 - integrating sphere. Both devices are designed and developed precisely for the purposes we use and they meet the latest light measurement and quality standards. With these devices we can measure, among other things, the following specs from the lights:

  • Light output (lm)
  • Range of the lights (m)
  • The highest intensity of the light beam (cd)
  • Beam shape (cd)
  • Isolux curves (lx, m)
  • Operating times (h, min)
  • Color temperature (K)
  • CRI-value (Color rendering index)
  • Deviation
  • RA-value
  • Spectrum
  • Chromaticity
