In automotive workshops, air conditioning servicing, industrial equipment maintenance, and forensic inspections, standard white lighting frequently fails to detect microscopic cracks or fluid leaks, as many technical lubricants and refrigerants only fluoresce under a dedicated ultraviolet wavelength. LED work light, rechargeable 5W+10W 400Lm 4000/6500K 2200mAh VIDEX VLF-M044UV | black – magnetic base and UV light for leak detection is a professional inspection luminaire integrating a forward directional spotlight, a high color rendering index (Ra>95) COB flood panel, and an ultraviolet (UV) leak-detection emitter. This multi-role tool is designed for mechanics, service technicians, and industrial engineers requiring total visual command within engine compartments and machinery housings in hands-free operation.

The physical architecture comprises two completely independent light engines supported by an articulating head assembly rotating through 270 degrees in the vertical plane. The forward directional module (Top) employs a 5W CREE XTE LED operating in a 6500K cool white daylight spectrum (900 cd), driving a concentrated pencil beam up to 60 meters into narrow cavities and pipeline conduits. The lateral 10W COB panel yields three functional outputs: 1) a 4000K neutral white flood (400Lm) boasting an exceptional color rendering index of Ra>95 with stepless dimming for chromatic fidelity across wiring harnesses and bodywork; 2) a secondary red light (continuous or flashing Red Flash for hazard warning); 3) an ultraviolet (UV) beam engineered for instantaneous detection of fluorescent dye leaks in automotive A/C systems, engine coolants, and hydraulic fluids. The base incorporates a high-flux neodymium magnet for hands-free anchoring to vehicle body panels or hoist frames, complemented by a folding metal suspension hook. Current is supplied by a user-replaceable Li-ion 18650 battery rated at 2200mAh (3.7V), rechargeable via a protected USB-C terminal (5V, 1A) within 3.5 hours. A 5-segment LED fuel gauge displays real-time battery status, supporting sustained runtime up to 39 continuous hours. The reinforced polyamide and nylon chassis with a polycarbonate optical window meets the IPX2 moisture standard and absorbs 1-meter drop shocks.
