Useful items to have around the workplace

Is your office space in need of a fast-charging, durable USB charger capable of supporting standard and newer devices? Are you looking for simple ways to add lights and music to set the tone for your next company party or gathering? Keep the health and safety of employees in check with a high-quality forehead thermometer, and treat elbow pain with a comfortable, well-made muscle release wrap. Have a heavy-duty generator power cord on standby for potential power failures or work trips. Here are five great items to have around the workplace.

For fast charging: This 30W USB charger comes with a three-year warranty, has dual ports, and is compatible with several phones and electronic devices. It is quality made and provides charging abilities up to 80% in an hour. Compared to 20W models, the 30W makes charging time twice as fast. While most chargers have the same two USB ports, the PD and QC USB ports on this one allows charging for both standard and new devices.
For ambiance: These LED light strips have self-adhesive tape, a timer that can be used to set lights on and off or change colors, and come in 65 or 100 feet, depending on the office space you want to spruce up. Colors, brightness, modes, and timers can all be adjusted by remote control or through their app on your smartphone. You’ll be able to set the right ambiance and even sync lights to flow with the rhythm of the music for office parties.
For health and safety: Keep everyone’s temperature in check with this forehead thermometer. It has an infrared sensor to ensure temperatures are taken free from contact; has one-second reading and three-color modes. Use it for everyone in your office. You can even use this thermometer to check the temperature of food, different rooms, and liquids. Switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius while keeping the last 50 readings stored in its memory to review later if needed.
For stressed muscles: Whether you have tennis elbow, spend your day typing behind a desk, or want additional support, this adjustable elbow wrap is perfect. It is made from a breathable fabric, is comfortable, and comes with a one-year warranty that includes replacement. Inside the elastic neoprene band is a built-in gel pad that will provide further support and compression. This band will get you back to lifting weights and working out at your office gym or to typing away and help ease any pain.
For emergencies: This heavy-duty generator power cord is a must-have in case of an emergency. It is weather-proof and can work in temperatures that range from negative 40 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit. You can choose between 25 or 50 feet, depending on your needs, and use it to power your office, home for company parties, RV or vehicle for work trips, and more. It has durable copper wires and has 50 amps, a voltage of 250, and 12500 watts.

These items will be perfect additions to any workplace. They will ensure that devices remain fully charged, create the right ambiance for any social work setting, bring the health and safety of employees front and center, minimize pain, and provide power in unexpected situations. Not only will your workplace be equipped with products that are useful for daily tasks at the office, but they will aid in entertainment for work gatherings and have you prepared should a power emergency arise.
