STKR

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Mobile Task Light

The STKR Mobile Task Light is designed to offer users
a versatile, bright, and rechargeable task light. The light
features a durable cast aluminum head that pivots nearly
180 degrees to ensure light can be directed where it is
needed, and is supported by a tempered steel exoskeleton.
A universal tripod mount on the product base allows users
to elevate the light when necessary. The light comes with
a variable lens, producing a floodlight with 1,200 lm over
180 degrees, and a hot spotlight focused to 120 degrees.
The light has four modes: high, medium, low, and strobe.
The light comes with a USB cable.

This reviewer is impressed with how
bright the STKR light is for its size.

THE REVIEW:

P

roper lighting
is essential for
technicians,
especially when working on areas of the
vehicle where little
to no light reaches.
"By clearly lighting
the work area, it makes
identifying problems or corrections easier to see, easier to prepare for
repairs, and [easier to complete the]
repairs more effectively and safely," says
Eric Moore, fleet manager for Griffin
Pavement Striping in Columbus, Ohio.
With the STKR Mobile Task Light,
Moore is able to do all those things, as
well as save some time on repairs.
Setup and use of the light are simple.
The task light comes with a micro USB
charging cable and an instruction sheet.
Before use, the STKR light must be
charged, though Moore does note that
the light charges "fairly quickly."
Moore finds the Mobile Task Light to
be "straightforward" and "easy to use."

"A single power button controls the
on/off, as well as the brightness settings,"
Moore says. Pressing the button once will
turn the task light on, and then pressing a
second, third, and fourth time will toggle
through the brightness settings of high,
medium, and low, with the default setting being high. The light also features a
fourth setting for strobe lighting.
Moore is impressed with how bright
the STKR light is for its size. He also
appreciates its resilience when knocked

around, its lightweight design, and the
USB-rechargeable option, meaning he
can recharge the light almost anywhere.
Around the shop, the Mobile Task
Light is used on a variety of jobs to help
light the work area.
Moore says it is a bit tougher to use
the light under-hood unless it is mounted
on a tripod. "What we eventually ended
up doing was attaching a strong magnet
to the base, and then placing it to the
underside of the hood," Moore says. "We
did feel that when using the STKR Task
Light under the vehicle, it was just a bit
too undersized."
To improve the light, Moore would
like to see a larger version with longer
battery life and a more customizable
beam width. The light already allows for
some versatility with beam width, as it
has an adjustable lens which enables the
user to switch between a focused floodlight or an ultra-wide flood of light.
Overall, Moore feels the STKR Mobile
Task Light is a nice product that is a good
selection for the toolbox.
