The charging indicator light will illuminate red during charging and turn green when the battery is fully charged.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Brightness Modes
To operate the work light:
- Power On: Press the power button once to turn on the light in High brightness mode.
- Switch Modes: Subsequent presses of the power button will cycle through the available lighting modes: High brightness → Medium brightness → Low brightness → Red light → Red strobe → Off.
- Power Off: Continue pressing the power button until the light turns off, or press and hold the power button for a few seconds in any mode to turn it off directly.
Figure 5: The work light offers multiple lighting modes including High, Medium, Low brightness, a steady Red light, and a Red strobe light.
Using the Integrated Features
- Magnetic Base: The built-in super-strong magnet allows the work light to be securely attached to any ferrous metal surface, such as car bodies, metal shelves, or toolboxes, for hands-free illumination.
- Hanging Hook: Extend the integrated hook to hang the work light from tents, branches, or other suitable objects, providing overhead or elevated lighting.
- Adjustable Bracket: Use the back bracket to prop up the light on a flat surface, allowing you to adjust the angle of illumination.

Charging and Power Bank Function
USB Charging
To charge the work light via USB, connect a USB-C or Micro USB cable (depending on the model variant) to the corresponding input port on the device and plug the other end into a USB power source. The battery indicator lights will show charging progress.
Solar Charging
The integrated solar panel provides an alternative charging method, particularly useful in outdoor environments. Place the work light with the solar panel facing direct sunlight.
Figure 7: Solar charging in progress. Note that solar charging may take a longer time to fully charge the device due to sunlight intensity. For optimal charging, use a USB-C cable before traveling or hiking.
Note: Solar charging is slower than USB charging and is best used for maintaining charge or as a supplementary power source. For a full and faster charge, always use the USB port.
Power Bank Function
The work light can also function as a power bank to charge other small electronic devices. Connect your device's charging cable to the USB output port on the work light.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the work light with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device at least once every three months if not used regularly.
- Durability: The work light is constructed from sturdy aluminum alloy material and features TPR soft rubber protection, designed to withstand drops from up to 1 meter (3.3 feet).
Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the work light using the USB cable. |
| Light is dim. | Low battery level. | Recharge the work light. |
| Device not charging via USB. | Faulty cable or power adapter. | Try a different USB cable or power adapter. Ensure connections are secure. |
| Solar charging is slow. | Insufficient sunlight or panel obstruction. | Ensure the solar panel is in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Solar charging is inherently slower than USB. |
| External device not charging from work light (power bank function). | Work light battery too low or incorrect cable. | Ensure the work light is sufficiently charged. Use the correct charging cable for your external device. |
