LED Work Light

For the price, this is a steal. It's nice and bright, fully adjustable, has a strong magnet and seems reasonably well made. I don't do much working on cars but I bought mine just for a general all purpose light that can also be used on cars or anywhere you need light to do some work (under the sink comes to mind). I have only two real complaints (so far. I still haven't had it that long and haven't used it too much in that time so take with a grain of salt).1. The battery does not charge quickly. To say the least. If it's down even just a little it will take hours to get back up to a full charge. I don't really mind too much because I don't use it too frequently. It would be nice if it charged A LITTLE quicker but again, price. I love the price of this thing.2. The little brightness dial seems a bit flimsy and it would be a shame if that one part were to render the entire light useless if it should break. For example when you go to turn it on, if you're absent-minded like I am, you might forget which way you turn it to turn it on. Since it turns on with a click, it's not always obvious if you're turning it the wrong way and can lead you down the path of turning the dial harder than necessary. Which is not good if you're going the wrong way with it! That said, I haven't broken it yet but it tends to get me when I grab it and go to use it without thinking and wondering why it isn't coming on (then realizing I'm going the wrong way). At the end of the day, I almost want to say this thing is too affordable. It makes me wanna buy more of them. But if I did, it would be a full time job keeping them all charged because the charging is so slow. LOL

Pros: Very bright light, Magnetic base is very strong.Cons: Plastic body feels like it could break after a few falls from 3' or more. Short 31" charging cable included.( I did not test or have any idea if the run time lives up to the claims.)Conclusion: Great value that you can't even beat at Harbor Freight with the Braun series of work lights. I plan to purchase another with my next set of Amazon purchases.Edit 2-27-19 I've had the light 3 months now and it still works how it should. Recently I opened the light to see what the size of the battery is. The battery is a 18650 rated at 2600mAH

I just received this light, and my first impressions are pretty good. It's quite bright, the magnet is strong, and has a good dimming range. Like 'Ed' did in his review, I took mine apart. It appears the internals of mine are a bit different so you can't really be sure what you might receive. Maybe mine is a newer model and replaced the previous versions of this light.Here's the breakdown of the teardown:The LED strip has 40 individual LED diodes. The LEDs themselves are covered with a spongy (not tacky) yellow silicone phosphor. The case has a clear plastic cover to protect the LEDs. Behind the LED strip is a basic strip of aluminum - presumably a heat sink. However, there is no thermal paste between the aluminum and the LED strip, and there was nothing pressing it against the strip either, so it's efficacy as a heatsink is questionable. I'd recommend adding some thermal paste, and some foam tape to help apply some pressure to the strip to ensure good contact (Note: Based the photos Ed provided, it looks like his had some foam tape attached. Mine did not. His heat sink also appears different.)The Circuit board has 4 blue LEDs for indicating the battery charge level. This is different from the one red/green LED that is shown in the description, and also different from Ed's light. The circuit board has has two ICs. The 14 pin IC is unmarked, but is probably responsible for driving and dimming the light. It looks like it uses PWM to dim the light as it here does appear to be a barely perceptible flicker to it when dimmed. The 8 pin IC is marked 4056 8z1. A quick google search shows that this a the Li-Ion Charger IC, so the good news is that it has Overcurrent/Overtemperature protection for the Li-Ion cell. The board has a 2-pin connector for the battery. My circuit board looks significantly different from the one Ed received.The light is turned on/off and dimmed via a 50k ohm variable resistor (with switch). The knob rotates smoothly and without binding. The knob can be removed just by pulling on it. The nut that holds the variable resistor in the case was a little loose on mine, but easy enough to tighten up. The variable resistor appears to be of fairly good quality, but the solder connections look a bit weak. They look like they may require resoldering in the future.The battery is marked with 'ICR 18650 3.7V 2000mAh' also different from what Ed had in his light. I don't have equipment to test the capacity, but it seems to me it is just a generic 18650 cell that may or may not have a 2000mAh capacity.The black plastic case is adequate, but not very robust. The two halves of mine didn't fit very well and light was visible coming from the seam between the two parts.Overall, it looks like a good light for the money, but the LEDs will probably last a lot longer if you add some thermal paste and some foam tape to ensure good contact with the heatsink.I hope this teardown was helpful to someone.

The light itself is a fantastic light BUT, the magnet on these lights sucks to put it bluntly.

The light is really bright and is very useful. The only thing that's not so good about it is the lights on the back of it showing battery life can be a little blinding. I just put some black tape over it to dim it a little but overall this is a great product and would buy again if I ever lost mine.

I've read through a lot of the poor reviews and they are a bit off. This isn't a flash light folks. This is a work light. You're not going to light a 20x20 room up with daylight. This is designed for more of the close up tight spots like working under the hood of a car. I seen a review talking about it scratching the clear coat of paint. Come on. Dont be dumb and stick it to the side of your vehicle. Magnets collect metal. There is most likely always going to be some kind of junk stuck to the magnet waiting to put a big ole scratch on that nice purdy paint. I work on vehicles a lot and it has been a really good light. I havent used it long but i think it's going to work out better than the Braun light that Harbor Freight. One thing i like is that it doesnt swivel between the light and the battery eventually causing a connection issue.

The light is good, it is worth replace the magnet with a stronger one if working on cars. It runs out of juice faster then I like but is very helpfull ad an emergency light when fully charged.

after a test and a complete discharge, impossible to put it in charge. out of order

Come da descrizione

Bra byggd och bra ljusbild med starkt ljus.Smidigt med vridbar dimmer så man kan justera ljuset efter eget önskemål.

The battery on them dosnt last longer and takes long to charge as wel. But the brightness is good.
