Bright & Adjustable Beam
The PL1 features a versatile dual-lamp design that combines a 300-lumen floodlight and a focused 180-lumen spotlight for targeted illumination when precision is needed. An adjustable dimming range from 10% to 100%, allows you to customize brightness for any task. Simply press and hold the power button to activate the dimming function and dial in the perfect amount of light for the situation.
Rechargeable with USB Type-C
A long‑lasting rechargeable lithium‑ion battery powers the PL1, providing up to 2 hours at full 300‑lumen output from the front lamp and up to 3 hours at the 180 lumen top lamp. Dim the output down to 30 lumens for up to 24 hours of continuous light. A USB‑C charging cable is included, and the PL1 charges very fast – 0 to 100% in 3h30.
Versatile Design includes Magnet & Clip
Designed for convenient, hands-free lighting, the magnetic base allows you to securely position the light exactly where it's needed, keeping your hands free for work. The PL1's slim, ergonomic profile makes it comfortable to carry and easy to use, while its unique no-roll design helps prevent it from sliding or rolling away on uneven surfaces. The robust clip is built into the top of the penlight, securing the light to your clothing or gear bag.
Water-Resistant & Durable Construction
Built for demanding environments, the PL2 features IP54 water and dust resistance, protecting it from light rain, shop dust, and everyday job‑site conditions. Its rugged housing withstands drops, vibration, and the wear‑and‑tear of daily professional use.
