FAQs
How do I switch between the COB light and the torch?
Most models feature a cycle button on the handle that toggles between the side COB panel, the top LED torch, and the off position.
Can I leave it plugged in while in use?
It is recommended to use the light while unplugged as a cordless device, though it may function while connected depending on the charging circuit's design.
How long does it take to charge?
Charge times vary based on the amperage of your USB power source, but typically require a few hours for a full cycle.
Is this light waterproof?
It is durable for standard workshop conditions, but it is not rated as waterproof. Keep the device away from excessive moisture or rain.
What should I do if the light stops working?
First, perform a full charge. If it remains non-functional, verify that the USB port is clear of debris and that the button is not jammed.
Troubleshooting

The battery level is likely low. Connect the device to a USB power source and allow it to charge fully.

Ensure the charging cable is fully seated in the port and try a different power source to verify if the charger or cable is faulty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your light, ensure it is fully charged via the USB port before the first use. The unit is compatible with standard USB charging adapters, including those used for smartphones or powered laptop ports. To maintain the life of the internal battery, avoid leaving the device in a fully discharged state for extended periods. Keep the lens clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth to ensure maximum light output. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents on the plastic casing to prevent degradation of the material.
