BendPak said its versatile Litestix, now powered by a higher-capacity rechargeable battery, provides up to seven hours of continuous use on one charge.

The new Litestix LS36SMDX model is designed to train task lighting wherever it’s needed without cords getting in the way. BendPak said the light boosts visibility where general lighting isn’t strong enough, such as:

• Inside engine compartments

• Vehicle interiors

• Underneath lifts

• Work sites at night

Litestix Powered by New Upgraded Lithium Battery

BendPak said upgrading the rechargeable lithium battery from 1800 mAH (milliampere-hour) to 2600 mAh, means the latest Litestix model can deliver another full hour of performance. The work light boasts 36 LED bulbs that together generate 1,200 lumens of bright white light. Each lamp also features high and low brightness settings.

Because it uses high-efficiency LEDs, Litestix uses less energy and stays cool, making it easy to move around a vehicle without worrying about getting burnt. Designed for a long life of heavy-duty use, each Litestix is encased in an impact-resistant polycarbonate housing.

Other key features are an innovative telescoping holder and magnetic swivel mounts that let you put it where you need it.

Secure Placement for Illuminating the Work Area

Litestix also solves the problem of how to sit a shop light snugly on a vehicle’s hood, roof, or other points on the body. Placement on the vehicle is often necessary to get the best visibility, but traditional lamps roll off.

To prevent that, Litestix has dual 90-degree swiveling handles equipped with magnetic ends that enable mounting the light tube on any flat or off-angle metallic surface.

The lamp’s all-steel telescoping cradle frame can extend from 49.5 inches to 79.75 inches in length and can secure to the underside of a vehicle hood, for example, with the help of grabbing hooks attached at both ends of the frame.

When used without the cradle frame, Litestix can be hung using recessed hooks inside the handles that twist out as needed.
