Features & Specifications

How bright is the light and what are the settings?

The light has four selectable brightness levels, allowing you to tailor the output to your needs:

  • Low: 1000 lumens
  • Medium: 2500 lumens
  • High: 4000 lumens
  • Max: 6500 lumens
What are the adjustable colour temperature options?

The work light offers four CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) settings to suit different environments and tasks:

  • 2700K: A very warm, soft white light, ideal for reducing eye strain and minimising insect attraction at the campsite.
  • 3500K: A standard warm white, providing a comfortable and inviting glow.
  • 4500K: A neutral white that mimics natural daylight, excellent for general-purpose tasks.
  • 6500K: A cool, bright white light, perfect for detailed work where maximum visibility and colour accuracy are required.
Can I use the Work Light MKII as a power bank?

Yes. The unit features a built-in power bank function with a USB-A output port that delivers 5V/2A. This allows you to charge smartphones, head torches, and other small electronic devices directly from the light's internal battery.

Setup & Operation

How do I charge the work light MKII?
  1. Lift the protective rubber cover on the back panel to access the ports.
  2. Insert one end of the included USB-C to USB-C cable into the USB-C input port.
  3. Connect the other end to a suitable power source, such as an 30W AC adapter or a high-power 12V charger.
  4. The blue LED battery indicators will blink to show the charging status. When all four lights are solid, charging is complete.

Note: For the fastest charge time (approx. 4.5 hours), use a power source that supports 30W fast charging.

How do I operate the light functions of the work light MKII?
  • Turn On/Off: Press the POWER button on the rear control panel.
  • Change Brightness: Press the BRIGHTNESS button to cycle through the four levels (1000lm > 2500lm > 4000lm > 6500lm).
  • Adjust Colour Temperature: Use the COLOUR TEMP '+' and '-' buttons to increase (cooler/whiter) or decrease (warmer) the colour temperature.
How does the removable diffuser work?

The frosted diffuser panel attaches magnetically over the main lens. It softens the light, changing it from a harsh, direct spotlight into a wide, even floodlight. This is ideal for illuminating a broad area without creating harsh shadows.

When not in use, the diffuser can be magnetically stored on the back of the light, where it also acts as a cover to prevent accidental activation of the control buttons during transport.

What are the different ways to mount the work light MKII?

The light is designed for maximum versatility:

  • Freestanding: Rotate the 360-degree handle to act as a stand on any flat surface.
  • Magnetic Mount: The powerful magnets in the base of the handle allow it to be securely attached to any flat ferrous metal surface, like a vehicle panel or steel beam.
  • Hanging Hooks: Flip out the integrated metal hooks to hang the light from pipes, scaffolding, or tent poles.
  • Tripod Mount: Use the standard ¼” threaded mounting hole in the base to secure the light to a tripod for elevated, stable lighting.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

The light is charging very slowly. What should I check?
  • Power Source: Ensure your power source, charging clock, and USB cable is rated for 30W. Using a low-wattage adapter will result in significantly longer charge times.
  • Cable Connection: Check that the USB-C cable is fully and securely inserted into both the light and the power source.
The battery seems to drain faster than expected. Why?
  • High Brightness: Operating the light on its highest brightness settings (4000lm or 6500lm) consumes power much more rapidly. Reduce the brightness to extend runtime.
  • Power Bank Usage: Charging an external device via the USB-A port while the light is on will place a dual load on the battery, causing it to drain significantly faster.
What does the IPX4 rating mean?

The IPX4 rating means the work light is protected against splashing water from any direction. It can withstand use in light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged or exposed to high-pressure water jets.

Need The Ultimate Lighting Solution?

With a massive 6500-lumen output, adjustable colour temps, and a built-in power bank, this is the only light you'll need for the worksite or campsite.
