Everyone's done the phone-flashlight-in-the-teeth trick under a sink, and everyone's dropped the phone. A work light retires it: a rechargeable LED panel that sits where you put it and floods the job with light, so both hands stay on the actual problem. Under the car, inside the AC cupboard, behind the water heater, out at a power cut — it earns its keep in the dark corners a ceiling light never reaches. Charge it, forget it, grab it when things go wrong.

Questions people ask
How long does a charge last?
It depends on how bright you run it — and we'd rather not invent a number for you. Top it up after a big job like you would a phone, and it's ready for the next one.
