Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools work lamp (model 9197) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need versatile lighting for under-bonnet work or other tasks requiring hands-free illumination. Its key benefit is the strong magnetic ends that allow it to attach to ferrous surfaces, freeing up your hands. A potential caveat is its limited battery life on high brightness, requiring consideration for longer tasks. The lamp features two brightness levels (500 and 1000 lumens), infrared functionality for touchless operation, and USB-C charging.

FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The working time is approximately 2 hours on high (1000 lumens) and up to 5 hours on low (500 lumens).

How do I charge the work lamp?

Use the included USB-C charging cable to connect the lamp to a USB power source. Charging typically takes between 3.5 to 4 hours.

What is the lumen output for each mode?

The lamp provides 500 lumens in low mode and 1000 lumens in high mode.

Can the magnetic ends be used independently?

Yes, the magnetic ends can be angled individually to allow the torch to be securely attached to various ferrous surfaces, offering flexibility in placement.

Is this lamp waterproof?

The lamp has an IP20 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but is not protected against water. It is not suitable for use in wet conditions.

What does IK07 rating mean?

The IK07 rating indicates that the lamp is resistant to impact, specifically 2 joules of impact, which is equivalent to dropping a 200g object from 1 meter. This makes it suitable for workshop environments.

How do I activate the infrared function?

Typically, you need to press and hold the power button for a few seconds to activate the infrared mode. A confirmation light usually indicates it's active. Refer to the product manual for precise instructions on activation and deactivation.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Ensure the lamp is fully charged. Connect to a USB power source using the included USB-C cable and check the charging indicator. If fully charged and still not turning on, contact customer support.

Weak magnetic hold

Clean the magnetic surfaces on both the lamp and the mounting surface to remove any dirt or grease. Ensure the mounting surface is made of ferrous material (iron or steel).

Infrared sensor not responding

Ensure the infrared function is activated (check manual for activation steps). Make sure there are no obstructions between your hand and the sensor area. Clean the sensor area with a dry cloth.

Short battery life

The lamp has two brightness modes. Using the high (1000 lumens) setting will deplete the battery faster than the low (500 lumens) setting. Use the low setting for tasks that do not require maximum brightness to extend working time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile hands-free operation with strong magnetic mounts.
  • Convenient touchless operation via infrared sensor.
  • Good brightness output for its size.
  • Rechargeable via standard USB-C.
  • Durable construction suitable for workshop use.

Cons

  • Battery life can be short on high brightness mode (2 hours).
  • Limited to a maximum of 1000 lumens.
  • IP20 rating means it's not suitable for wet environments.
  • Charging time of 3.5-4 hours can be lengthy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. To use, simply charge the device fully using the provided USB-C cable before its first use. Once charged, press the power button to cycle through the modes: COB low, COB high, and off. The infrared function can be activated by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds until an indicator light appears (refer to manual for specific indicator details).

Compatibility: The lamp is powered by a built-in Li-ion battery and charges via a standard USB-C port. Any standard USB-C charging cable and a suitable USB power source can be used for charging.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  • Keep the magnetic ends clean from debris to ensure a strong grip.
  • Wipe the lamp clean with a slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging in water due to its IP20 rating.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid overcharging beyond the recommended time. The built-in protection helps prevent damage, but it's good practice to disconnect once fully charged.
