Application

The Streamlight BearTrap serves as a multi-function work light, offering bright white light in spot and flood modes and multiple hands-free options for illuminating hard-to-reach places, such as under a vehicle or when troubleshooting equipment repairs. Weighing only 2 lbs, 3 oz., the light can also be easily stowed for making roadside repairs. 

Features and benefits 

The unique design of the BearTrap allows it to clamp to virtually any flat, round, or irregular surface to illuminate hard-to-reach places, such as under the hood of a car. The versatile spot and flood beams allow technicians to focus on a specific work area or illuminate larger areas with up to 2,000 lm of bright, white light. It adjusts for easy positioning and with its rubberized construction prevents scratches when clamped to surfaces like a car hood. And because it uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the BearTrap also offers extremely low operating costs and reaches places that other corded lights may not. 

Selling points 

  • High-power work light that delivers up to 2,000 lm.
  • The light can rotate 270 degrees in its frame and clamps to any surface or stands on its own for hands-free illumination.
  • Its rubberized construction prevents scratches when clamped to the surface of a vehicle.
  • Offers six output modes with three spot and three flood settings.
