NEIKO 40447A Rechargeable Cordless Underhood Work Light, 202 SMD LED Light Bar with Max 1,200 Lumens, Li-Ion Battery, and 2 Brightness Modes

I can't imagine living without this! Feels & operates like a tool that would be much more expensive. Two brightness levels, multiple ways to position the light for different applications, including a magnetic clamp & a detachable hook similar to the swivel hanging hook on the top. The power switch is a high quality rocker switch that's in a protected inset in the bottom of the handle with the charging port. I would like there to be a 6 Star Category for SUPERIOR Products like this 💚

Update June 5th 2018, have used extensively since Jan 24 2017 and up'd from 4-5 stars, still holds charge for at least 4+ hours, probably longer, I use it extensively for auto repair, that led cover is constantly banging against engine components with no worry. I stand it on its base on my garage floor and have knocked it over countless times right on led cover, no issues. Last light you will ever own, Id never buy a "flashlight" again. I initially complained it didn't seem so bright on my engine in daytime, dumb complaint and removed it , this may be best auto light out there as Its thin and I can weave it into tight spots in engine bay. This really is an incredibly well made product, you don't see that very often today as nearly all mfg's are priced concerned much more than quality concerned, however this is an an example of " If you build it they will come". Brightness. Wow! My first test was up in my master bedroom at night. I stood near one corner point this away from me, Its 27x35 with 16 foot ceilings, this lit it up completely and lit up the 16x18 bathroom through its open door as well. I pointed it up to the ceiling and it light the room up well. Extensively used for auto work on 4 cars, It lights up the engine well and I dont have to worry about shattering glass going into my intake manifolds, certainly puts out alot of bright light unlike my 6 inch reflective enclosure and way hot bulb you cant take that under the car and hang it in tough places, like I could with this light. The led's are also high quality, you may find a brighter light but you won't get the time of operation due to cheap LED's sucking major power, these are not cheap led's, super bright and stays COOL. Manufacture Quality. Gets an A+ I'm a hardware engineer, this is high quality. The on/off rocker switch is at the bottom if you look at the picture show when its standing up on its own. A super high quality rocker switch that will easily last your life time, I know because I spec this same style in products I design. Rather than going "disco" and putting a USB style charge connector on it, it has a heavy duty barrel type interface made of hard steel with a nut securing it to the base. A USB interface would be a poor choice despite the marketing appeal of using "USB" but as far as life time and reliability and ability to carry a large charging current USB falls far short, a sturdy barrel type connector is entirely the proper choice here. The handle is covered with heavy duty "rubber" for lack of a proper name for the material, very thick, has ridges for grip and 2 - 6 point socket style molded ridges , one near the bottom by power interface and power switch and one near where the leds starts to keep it from rolling when you lace it down. The leds are to bright to look at and its great that half the led length tube is blocked out so light only goes one way otherwise you'd be blinded. It may have been better to make that inner surface silver reflective, but I doubt it matters much. I haven't dropped it yet but it seems the most critical component which is the clear cover over the leds seems pretty solid and not a very brittle like material which would easily fracture. Accessories. The top hook will swivel 360 degrees but you should grab it down where it actually connects to the top of the light, the 360 swivel is tight which is good so it doesn't move on you but if you try to rotate it 360 by holding onto the hook you will probably eventually warp or break the top hook. The top hook also can rotate and fold down along the body if you want it out of the way and that rotational directing is very easy. The hook itself has flex in it which is good, you don't want stiff plastic that will brittle fracture. The second hook clips on the handles any where you want it to and I found this great to hang the light horizontally as I had freedom to place that 2nd hook to exact position needed. The magnet is same type of clip where you like it, its very strong, no worry about it not holding to metal like many other cheap magnetic hold products I've seen. Only thing is you cant clip it such that you can make the light stand up, the magnet will always be 90 degrees to the light. The charger has red led when charging , green when done, you will see an label "LED1" on a horizontal led at bottom of led tube near the handle, this comes on when your charge gets low, some other reviewer said he wished it had a warning feature and this is it. Other Stuff: Some ask if it will get "dim" as battery discharges. No it won't, led's do not work that way, they are basically on or off when proper minimum voltage is present. Warning. Do not try to charge this with other barrel type chargers, this charger has a low voltage about 4.4 v and it needs to be what ever it says on the charger to avoid your battery blowing up. One question asked was " Can you replace the batteries". This is not made to easily replace the batteries that are used internally. But to me, it seems like the rubber handle that makes up the bottom half of this light was slid on to probably a plastic frame during manufacturing.MY guess is you can slide this off, of course that will be very hard. Best thing would be to heat it up slowly so it becomes more flexible then work it off, maybe spray some WD-40 down the slides as it becomes flexible. You can also just cut it and band-it back together. But I suspect it doesn't matter, this will probably last a long time and you will more than get you money's worth. Mad Scientist Engineer's like me do this type of thing. Definitely buy, don't try to save 10$ on a cheaper unit, this is the real deal.

I'm just a home mechanic but do more than average repair tasks and love this light! I use it mostly in high and most recently used it to replace the lift pump on an older Dodge diesel. It ran for 6 hrs straight! Magnet is strong enough to hold it in any position and the light output is amazing! Lightweight too... It's my go-to light for all my repair work now. I do turn it off when I know I'm going to be away for a few minutes, and also plug it in to recharge as much as possible... After all, it is battery powered! Overall a really good light! Much better than the old incandescent or flourescent that always needed an extension cord... As far as I'm concerned, those days are long gone! I'd buy another in a heartbeat! Update 4 years later: light is still amazing and I’ve used it pretty regularly and hard! But what I’ve noticed is that it seems like the battery is reaching the end of its practical lifespan. It comes on at full brightness but tends to shut itself off after about 30 minutes use. It turns back on without issue, but continues to shut itself off after a short time. And the battery is not replaceable. That being said, this light served me very well and a 4 year battery lifespan isn’t bad in my book for something I’ve used so much. I will definitely be purchasing another in the not too distant future! :-)

A decent work light that will last for several hours on a charge. Pros- +Does not get hot. +No glass to break if it is dropped. +Included magnetic attachment allows it to be stuck to any metal surface with enough force to hold its weight but still easy to get off. +Lasts several hours on a charge. +LEDs stay full brightness throughout a battery charge. Does not dim as battery drains. CONS- -The battery is not easy replaceable, if at all. Overall a decent work light. I don't have two holes that line up with the two end hooks but the magnet held it just fine. Not super bright for a work light but it will put decent light on the engine area when attached to the hood. Battery powered allows it to double as a very bright flashlight so that is good. What is not so good is when the battery eventually wears out there is no easy way to replace it. When the battery does go I will cut into the rubber handle and see if I can get at it but a user accessible battery compartment would have been better. If I can get 5+ years out of the battery I will consider it a decent trade off. If the battery dies in less than that I won't be happy with it. Time, and a future edit to this review, will tell if my review bumps up to a 5 or down to a 2.

Very sturdy well built light. The 3 light settings are nice if I know it’s going to be on for an extended period of time so the battery lasts longer. Bought a second one after the first impressed me enough. They get used and abused every day for my job. Holding up well.

I’ve been using this for quite some time and I will say it’s way better than snap ons hood light. I’ve compared it to my buddies and the brightness is better. It’s pretty durable, I’ve dropped it a few times and it’s holding up. I’d choose this over any magnetic hood light.

El material es bueno y su iluminación también. Vamos a usarla por un tiempo a ver cómo es su desempeño con el tiempo. Calidad precio bueno.

Feels well built,works great, dont like the switch or the micro usb.

I would use caution when purchasing this light. Structurally, it seems to be built very well and I didn't feel I needed to worry about anything. My issues came on my 3rd time using the light. The first 2 times the light worked perfectly. The light was bright and cycled through the dimming modes fine. Now when I try to turn it on, all I get is 3 blue lights telling me it is on and the smallest illumination in the led showing there is energy to the light. The 3 blue mode lights are brighter than the light itself. I reached out to the manufacturer explaining what my situation was. I was told that they could not sell me another light but mentioned that I should send them pictures and video of my light. I sent them this information and they once again redirected me to Amazon. The manufacturer was very good at a quick response to my emails but I didn't find a solution with them.

Muy buena calidad exelente iluminación

Merci pour cette super lampe de travail l.éclairage est super encore chapeau.
