Rapid Hand lamp The Mechanic
Rapid Hand lamp The Mechanic
The Mechanic is a compact and durable LED hand lamp to have in the garage for working in tight spaces such as under the car bonnet. The Mechanic’s long lighting arm folds out to provide versatile work lighting from its top and side, with a brightness of 500 lumens on the side and an additional setting of 250 lumens for tasks needing softer illumination. At the top, a 50-lumen pinpoint spotlight reaches areas where general lighting does not. For hands-free use, the Mechanic is equipped with both a hook and magnet, allowing it to be hung or fastened to metal surfaces. The integrated 3.6V battery charges conveniently via Micro-USB, with the charging cable included. Runtime of about 3 hours; the top light alone has a runtime of 10 h.
