Key Features
Overview
The Klein Tools Slim Rechargeable Personal Work Light (56079) is a compact, rechargeable LED light built for hands-free inspection and close-up work. This is a personal work light designed for electricians, mechanics and maintenance techs who need light aimed into panels, under sinks, inside equipment and anywhere a headlamp casts the wrong shadow.
Output is rated to the ANSI FL1 standard at 500 lumens on high, 250 on medium and 100 on low, with runtimes of 6, 8 and 10 hours respectively. That is plenty of light for panel work and inspection, and the low mode stretches a charge across a full shift.
Mounting is where it earns its keep. Dual N50 magnets hold it to metal surfaces such as panels, ductwork and equipment housings. A built-in aluminum carabiner rotates 270 degrees and hooks onto rods, pipe and conduit. Once mounted, the main LED body rotates a full 360 degrees to put the beam exactly where you are working.
A glow ring around the LEDs makes the light easy to find when you set it down in a dark crawlspace or ceiling. The 3.8 V lithium-ion battery recharges by USB-C (a USB-A to USB-C cable is included), and a battery level indicator shows remaining power.
The housing is hard PC plastic with aluminum hardware, rated IP54 for water and dust resistance and 6.6 ft (2 m) drop protection. Operating range is 23 to 131°F (-5 to 55°C). It measures about 5-3/8" (13.6 cm) tall, 2-5/16" (5.9 cm) wide and 1-1/16" (2.7 cm) thick, and weighs 7.44 oz (211 g).
Who should buy it: electricians and low-voltage techs working in panels and enclosures, HVAC and appliance techs, auto mechanics, and anyone who keeps balancing a flashlight on their shoulder.

Pro Tip
On a steel panel, mount the light off to the side and rotate the head back toward the work. Side lighting throws shadows that make terminal screws and wire labels easier to read than straight-on light.
