When you’re under the hood of your car, fixing a leak under your sink or trying to read the fuse box in the basement, extra light is always appreciated. I’ve always loved those wand-shaped work lights that you can hold, stand on the floor or hang from a hook, depending on where you need the light to be. Here’s a light that takes the classic wand shape, includes LEDs and has a handful of other conveniences.
These lights stand about 10 inches high and the light element is about 4.7 inches long. Not only can you angle the light through a full 360 degrees, but the handle has a magnetic base, which means you can securely affix it to almost any metal surface to put the light where you need it. It also has a hook built into the base or you can, you know, just hold it.
The rechargeable light lasts about 3 hours at 100% brightness (there are five lighting modes to choose from) and has a standard Micro-USB connection for charging. It’s covered in hard rubber for ruggedness and is rated IPX5, which means you can use it in the rain.
