CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 26, 2026
TL;DR Community testing confirms 1,950-lumen output — enough to light a full engine bay. Runtime exceeds spec at full brightness (2h14m measured). CE-certified; no independent US safety listing (UL/ETL) is on file.
What it is and how it performs
A cordless Li-ion rechargeable work light with a slide-out COB panel for hands-free area lighting. 1Lumen independently measured 1,802 lumens at 30 seconds (manufacturer claims 2,000 lm); COB measured 627 lm vs. 500 claimed. Runtime at full brightness: 2h14m measured, 7h1m on COB high. Magnetic base mounts to metal panels; no hook or fold-out stand included.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
Home mechanics doing oil changes, brake jobs, or under-hood work will find the confirmed output and COB panel combination practical. Skip it if you need color-accurate paint inspection — that requires a dedicated detailing light with CRI 95+, not a general-purpose work light.
Safety and environmental impact
No chemical SDS applies. CE-certified (RoHS); no UL or ETL listing found in US certification databases. Li-ion battery — dispose via e-waste or lithium battery drop-off.
