English term or phrase: Utility lights
Hi, everyone!

I'm translating some copy for a solar light distribution company. I found the term "utility light" in the technical specifications of different solar products, but I'm not sure what it means.

This is an example of the term used in context: "this product is the long lasting ultimate utility light."

Thank you for your help!

agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: De acuerdo con lo de funcional. No veo las "luces de utilidad". En español, la construcción "de utilidad" tiene un significado en sí mismo.

  -> ¡Muchas gracias, Tomás! Sí, funcional quizás sea mejor en este caso.
