5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off
To turn the light ON, press and hold the power button (marked with a power symbol) for 3 to 4 seconds. This feature is designed to prevent accidental activation and minimize power loss.
To turn the light OFF, press and hold the power button again for 3 to 4 seconds.
5.2 Changing Lighting Modes
Once the light is on, short press the mode button (marked with 'M') to cycle through the 6 available lighting modes:
- High Brightness (6500K)
- 6500K Flashing
- Red Light
- Red Flashing Light
- Blue Light

5.3 Using Magnets and Hooks
The work light features powerful magnets on each end and two swivel hooks for flexible mounting:
- Magnetic Attachment: Attach the light to any ferrous metal surface, such as a car hood, metal shelving, or workshop equipment. Ensure the surface is clean and provides sufficient magnetic adhesion.
- Swivel Hooks: Extend the hidden swivel hooks from the ends of the light. These hooks allow you to hang the light from various fixtures, ropes, or under-hood components. The hooks can be conveniently nested back into the light when not in use.
- Adjustable Angle: The light bar can rotate 360° on its axis, and the bases can rotate 180°, allowing you to direct light precisely where needed.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To clean the work light, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface or internal components. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before cleaning to maintain IP65 water resistance.
6.2 Storage
Store the work light in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every 3-6 months to prolong battery life.
6.3 Battery Care
The built-in lithium-ion battery is designed for long life. To maximize its lifespan:
- Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- Do not leave the light connected to a charger indefinitely after it is fully charged.
- Charge the battery at room temperature.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. Incorrect power-on procedure. | Charge the light using the USB-C cable. Ensure you press and hold the power button for 3-4 seconds to activate. |
| Light dims quickly or battery life is short. | Battery not fully charged. Operating in high brightness mode for extended periods. Battery degradation over time. | Ensure the light is fully charged before use. Use lower brightness modes for longer runtime. Battery capacity naturally decreases over time. |
| Magnets do not stick to surface. | Surface is not ferrous (e.g., aluminum, carbon fiber). | Ensure the surface has high iron content for magnetic adhesion. Use hooks or other mounting methods if the surface is non-ferrous. |
| Light flickers or behaves erratically. | Low battery. Internal fault. | Recharge the light. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
