Just like its name suggest, it’s designed to work under the vehicle. With this in mind, it has a strong magnetic base which is used to attach to a car lift and has an arm that angles out and points the light head upwards and can be rotated and pivoted to point light exactly where you need it as can be seen in the above image. This is thanks to the dual joints that swivel 300 degrees horizontally and up to 180 degrees vertically. The magnets and dual joints offer hands free lighting.

It delivers a strong 1200 lumens of brightness and has what Milwaukee calls “TRUEVIEW” which is their marketing name for soft even lighting and a neutral color temperature that doesn’t skew colors so colors appear as they are. It has 3 lighting modes, high, medium, and runtime is up to 15 hours on low and up to 5 hours on high with the included 4ah battery in kit form.

The features don’t end there as the arm of the light is magnetic and is designed to be used as a small parts “tray” where you can attach small nuts and bolts magnetically so they are at arms reach.

This light is built job tough and is IP54 rated, can withstand drops up to 6ft, and is resistant to corrosion and common chemicals found in autobody shops.
