In Focus: Maxxeon WorkStar Pocket Floodlight

March 16, 2011

The Maxxeon WorkStar Pocket Floodlight, No. MXN0220, offers the illumination of a worklight or drop light, but without the inconvenience of being tethered by a cord to an 115V power source. An LED brightly illuminates the work area with a flood of brilliant white light that makes it easy to see problem areas.

This lighting tool is designed with a wide angle beam that provides a wide field of view when working up close. The beam is free of “hot” and “dark” spots, making it easy to clearly see what is being inspected. The compact, 6" long tool weighs only 2 oz, and clips easily and comfortably into any pocket.

Origin

The inventor’s original idea was to design a cordless worklight that is small enough to carry in a shirt pocket. This product idea has become a reality as a result of recent advancements in LED and battery technology.

Technicians benefit by having a light source with the brightness of an incandescent work light, but with the advantages of the cordless design and the compact, light weight and compact size of the product.

Retailers and distributors can now offer this product through a convenient POP display. This product is clamshell packaged, with 10 units per POP display.
