Key benefits
- Magnetic Base: Attaches to steel surfaces for hands-free lighting while you work.
- Integrated Hooks: Gives you simple hanging options when a magnetic surface is not available.
- Carabiner Attachment: Makes it easy to clip onto bags, gear or anchor points around the workspace.
- Rechargeable Battery: Reuses the built-in 1500mAh battery instead of relying on disposable batteries.
- 240 Lumen Output: Provides practical close-range illumination for repairs, inspections and setup tasks.
- Cool White and Red LED Modes: Lets you switch between clearer task lighting and a softer low-glare option.
- 7 Light Modes: Offers flexible lighting choices to better match different jobs and visibility needs.
- Compact Design: Fits easily into a toolbox or glove compartment for grab-and-go use.
Q: Is this bright enough for whole-room lighting or close-up jobs?
A: Tool Guardian LIK14290 is better for close-up work than lighting a whole room. Its 240 lumen output suits repairs, inspections and tasks at arm's length, but it is not designed to flood a large garage, shed or job site.
Q: Will the magnetic base stick to aluminium, plastic or only steel?
A: No. The magnetic base is designed for steel surfaces, so it will not grip aluminium, plastic or timber. If there is no steel nearby, the built-in hooks and carabiner give you other hands-free mounting options.
Q: How long does the battery last between charges in normal use?
A: Tool Guardian LIK14290 runs for up to 4 hours per charge, depending on the light mode used. Brighter settings drain the 1500mAh battery faster, so it suits short task work better than all-night lighting.
Q: Can you switch between white and red light modes easily?
A: Yes. This worklight includes cool white and red LED options, so you can choose clearer task lighting or a lower-glare red light. It also has 7 light modes, which gives more flexibility than a single on or off setting.
Q: Does this worklight connect to Alexa, Google Assistant or an app?
A: No. Tool Guardian LIK14290 is not a smart light, so it does not work with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Apple HomeKit. It is a simple battery-powered worklight, which suits manual use in a toolbox, garage or car.
Q: Can it hang where there is no metal surface nearby?
A: Yes. If there is no steel surface nearby, the integrated hooks and carabiner let you hang it from shelving, bonnet points or other suitable fixtures. That makes it easier to position than a light that only uses a magnet.
