OEM Tools LED Work Light & Rechargeable Flashlight
Our LED work light and rechargeable flashlight delivers professional-grade illumination wherever you need it most. Engineered for automotive technicians and serious DIY enthusiasts, this dual-purpose lighting tool combines a bright LED spotlight with a wide-angle work light panel in one compact housing.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery eliminates the hassle of disposable cells and provides hours of continuous runtime. Whether you're diagnosing under-hood issues, working in tight engine bays, or illuminating a dark workbench, the OEM Tools flashlight gives you reliable hands-free lighting and pinpoint beam control. We built this tool with the same durability standards that define our entire professional tool lineup.
- Dual LED system: focused spotlight beam plus wide-angle work panel
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery with USB charging port
- Magnetic base and hanging hook for hands-free positioning
- Impact-resistant housing with rubberized grip zones
- Multiple brightness modes for extended runtime flexibility
LED Technology & Brightness Output
We equipped this flashlight with two distinct LED lighting systems to cover every job site scenario. The primary spotlight delivers a focused beam that reaches up to 200 feet, ideal for inspecting dark corners of an engine bay or tracing wiring harnesses under dashboards.
The secondary work light panel features a wide-angle array of LEDs that floods your workspace with shadow-free illumination. This panel mode is perfect for hands-free operation when you need both hands on tools, and the adjustable brightness settings let you extend battery life when full power isn’t necessary. The same attention to lighting performance we bring to our electrical and diagnostic tool collection ensures you get consistent output across the battery’s charge cycle.
Rechargeable Battery System & Runtime
The integrated lithium-ion battery recharges via standard USB connection, so you can power up from any USB wall adapter, vehicle port, or portable battery pack. Full charge takes approximately 3 hours and delivers up to 6 hours of runtime on medium brightness settings.
We designed the charging port with a protective rubber cover to keep dust and moisture out during daily shop use. The battery management system includes overcharge protection and temperature monitoring to maximize cell longevity. When you need reliable power for diagnostic work alongside our battery analyzer and other testing equipment, this rechargeable system eliminates the constant battery replacement costs that plague disposable-cell flashlights.
Hands-Free Mounting & Positioning
Magnetic Base Attachment
The powerful neodymium magnet embedded in the base adheres securely to any ferrous metal surface, turning your vehicle’s hood, frame rail, or toolbox into an instant lighting mount. The magnetic hold is strong enough to stay put even when working on uneven surfaces or when vibration is present.
Adjustable Hanging Hook
The integrated metal hook rotates 360 degrees and locks into position, allowing you to hang the light from hood props, shelf brackets, or overhead structures. Combined with the 180-degree swiveling head, you can aim light exactly where it’s needed without repositioning the entire fixture. This flexibility matches the versatility we build into tools like our infrared thermometer for comprehensive diagnostic capability.

OEM Tools Flashlight: Your Questions Answered
Battery runtime depends on brightness mode selection. On high spotlight mode, expect approximately 3 hours of continuous use. Medium brightness extends runtime to about 6 hours, and low mode delivers up to 10 hours.
The work panel mode consumes more power than the spotlight, so plan for slightly shorter runtimes when using the wide-angle LEDs. We recommend charging overnight between heavy-use days to ensure full power availability.
Yes, the flashlight uses a standard micro-USB charging port compatible with most phone chargers and USB cables. Any USB wall adapter, computer USB port, or vehicle USB outlet will charge the internal battery.
Charging current is regulated internally, so you won't damage the battery by using a high-amperage charger. The included cable is 3 feet long, but you can substitute any length micro-USB cable if you need more reach to your power source.
The neodymium magnet provides approximately 15 pounds of holding force on flat steel surfaces. On curved surfaces like exhaust pipes or rounded frame rails, holding strength decreases but remains sufficient for most applications.
For maximum security on curved or painted surfaces, we recommend using the rotating hook as a backup attachment point. The magnet works best on unpainted ferrous metals like steel hoods, frame members, and bare toolboxes.
The focused LED spotlight delivers usable illumination up to 200 feet in low-ambient conditions. At typical working distances of 3 to 15 feet, the beam provides more than enough brightness for detailed inspection work and wiring diagnostics.
Beam intensity follows standard LED falloff characteristics, with the brightest concentration in the first 50 feet. The work panel mode sacrifices distance for coverage area, flooding approximately 8 feet by 8 feet with even lighting at a 3-foot working distance.
The lithium-ion battery and LED system operate reliably in temperatures from 14°F to 122°F. Cold conditions will reduce battery capacity slightly, but the light functions normally even in unheated winter garages.
Avoid charging the battery in freezing temperatures, as this can damage cell chemistry. If the light has been stored in extreme cold, allow it to reach room temperature before connecting to a charger. LED output is actually more efficient in cooler conditions.
The internal lithium-ion battery is designed for 500+ charge cycles before capacity drops below 80 percent. At typical use patterns, this translates to 3-5 years of service life.
When replacement becomes necessary, contact our customer service team for battery replacement options. We prioritize long-term serviceability for all OEM Tools products and maintain replacement component inventory for discontinued models.
A single push-button control cycles through all lighting modes. Press once to activate low spotlight, press again for high spotlight, third press activates low work panel, fourth press selects high work panel.
Press and hold the button for 2 seconds from any mode to turn the light off completely. The control remembers your last-used mode, so the next press will resume where you left off. This simple interface works even when wearing heavy work gloves.
