Review on Youyoute 2Pack COB LED Work Lights - USB Rechargeable, Magnetic Base, 360° Rotate, 5 Lighting Modes, Swivel Hook, Water-Resistant, Portable Inspection Lights (Small & Large Size) by Douglas First

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Weak magnet but otherwise ok for the price

The primary reason I bought these was to use for automotive work. The light has no problem holding its weight, but the slightest bump will knock it off whatever it is attached to. You also cannot pivot the light without using 2 hands. Any attempt to adjust it will cause it to detach from whatever it is on. The hinge is overly stiff and would benefit from a smoother action. I'd rather have it this way than too loose though, and wasn't really expecting much for the price. I'd pay more to get a stronger magnet and smoother pivoting arm.The light output from the main light is good for what I am using it for. I use it on the high setting all the time, but the low setting may be helpful if you need to avoid glare or reflection. The single led light at the tip seems worthless. It might be useful if you want to be really discreet and a tiny bit of light is all you need for what you are doing. I can't see using it myself and I'd rather just not have it to eliminate the extra click on the button when cycling through the modes.

Pros
  • Water-resistant construction ensures the light will work even in wet environments
Cons
  • Long-term exposure to the light may cause eye strain or fatigue
