2-for-Tuesday: Ideaworks Multi-Use LED Area Lights
Our Take
- You get two of these, each with a 4-LED flashlight and a 24-LED lamp- Hold it like a flashlight- Or prop it with the stand, or hang it from the hook, or stand it on a metal surface with the magnetic base like a lamp- Needs 3 AAA batteries - no, you can’t substitute one AAAAAAAAA battery- LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours, in case it stays dark for six years- Model: JB6778
Get that flashlight out of your mouth.
Maybe the problem is that humans don’t have three hands. Or maybe, even if we did, some hand-centric corollary of Parkinson’s law would mean we’d need to use all three hands to do routine stuff. Whatever the case, trying to do anything while you’re holding a flashlight is a pain in the ass.Sure, you could wear a headlamp. But a super-bright light glaring directly on your hands doesn’t always help you get the job done, either. And if you turn to talk to a companion, they get a face full of lumens.Hence the Ideaworks Multi-Use LED Light. You can hold it like a normal flashlight with 4 bright LEDs, for those times when you’ve got a spare hand. But it also has a 24-LED lamp with a fold-out hook to hang it from. And a built-in stand to prop it up. And a magnetic base so you can stand it up on a car hood, or a refrigerator, or any other convenient ferromagnetic surface.Toss this two-pack of Ideaworks Multi-Use LED Lights into your lighting arsenal, alongside your flashlights, your headlamp, and your lanterns. You’ll be set for convenient lighting from any angle, for any task. It’s not quite a third arm, but at least you won’t have to buy a bunch of new shirts.
