Beneath Hoist - Underhood WorkLight / Automotive Car Mechanic's Light
Here is great LED work light for mechanics with a magnet and 17 pc kit to use under the hood, to completely illuminate the underside of a car, hang in a wheel well, light up a work bench, and much much more. It’s powerful enough to indirectly flood an entire engine compartment with penetrating light that illuminates hard-to-reach areas.
Our 11-way All Purpose Work Light is great mechanics light for working on cars. Below we show that:
Unlike glorified flashlights sold as "trouble lights", Our work light is bright enough to produce IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) recommended light levels.
Our LED work light illuminates a large space several feet away from the spot you are working. So you no long have to cram a light in the same place where you need to put a wrench.
Over head shops lights don't light up the underside of a car on a hoist. If you don't want to work in the dark, our great mechanic's light can be suspended under a car using the 85 pound pull magnet hook and up to 44" of yellow linkable, reusable strap.
If you want to work, get our real work light. If you want to squint and struggle, keep using flashlights -- Battery powered lights just can't make the optimal light levels.
Our novel work light can be used 11+ ways.
Government regulations now prevent the installation of sufficient shop lights with the intent of forcing folks to provide supplementary lighting with portable light fixtures.
Simulated daylight, and blue light in particular, energizes the human body and mind.
88 foot-candles from 11-way auto repair light compares to only 15-18 fc from common triple row, 41" under hood led light
10,000 lumens Makes the right light for mechanics!
The IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) recommended light level for automotive repair is 50 foot-candles (fc) with 100 fc recommended for on-bench work. The special purpose under hood lights being imported fall far short of this standard. But our work light is sure to brighten your day -- or night ... when you have to work after hours.

A Different way to use a work light
Too often your hands need to be just where you want to put a trouble light. No more! Our work light is so powerful that it brightens up an entire area. It indirectly bounces light into crevasses and hard to reach areas.
You can also slide it in horizontal underneath a jacked up vehicle so you don't have to work in the dark.
A Hoist Light
I've seen mechanics do crazy things more than once --like putting flashlights on the floor and propping them up to shine underneath a vehicle.
We can't see looking up into darkness under a hoist because our eye's are not dark adapted. A solution is to completely illuminate a car's underside.
The 11-way work light can be suspended underneath a car using the 85lb pull magnet and the hook & loop straps. Or you can use fixture's hook and tie the straps onto the frame, exhaust hangers, ect.
Folding hook / Magnetic Hook
The 11-way work light can be hung like an ordinary trouble light with the folding hook. The hook magnet can be hooked onto the cage, the air craft cable bails on each end or the folding hook.
Includes 8 hook & loop Straps
Hook & Loop Straps work like Velcro(tm).
100%, 24-7
Customers wish the 11-way light were battery powered. So do I. But you can't create light out of nothing. If you tried powering this light with a typical car battery, you'd have to recharge it every 3-4 hours. It's just not practical to generate much light levels using batteries. A plug in light can run 24-7 at full light output.
You can save thousands$$$, by supplying portable bright LED task lights to supplement lower wattage general illumination.
Use Less Electricity
It uses less electricity to use a few work lights where needed and then illuminate the rest of the room to a lower light level. This also reduces the total number of light fixtures that need to be installed.
In fact, new building codes intentionally restrict the hardwired lighting wattage that can be installed so that you are forced to use task lights to achieve the light levels you need. (It's from the same people that brought us toilets that don't flush. ) As the government tries to keep us from seeing, bright work lights are more important than ever.
Blue Light matters
It's not just about having enough light to see. Your body needs blue light to function. Our 6000K Daylight fixtures energize your body and mind with plenty of blue light. Having enough blue light has been shown to increase productivity, Improve moods, and energy
Simulated Daylight is Best for vision
Our 6000K color temperature light fixture simulate natural daylight, the best spectrum for vision.
