Ridgid 18V 360 ° LED Area Light R86903B $129
This is Ridgid’s latest 360 degree area light. It’s designed to give light in all 360 degrees and above. It lights up the surrounding area and can illuminate an entire small space thanks to 2,000 lumens of brightness.
2,000 lumens is very bright however since it spreads those lumens everywhere, don’t expect it to be as bright as a light that points all 2,000 lumens in one direction. It has 3 brightness settings of High, Medium, Low (2,000 / 1,000 / 500 Lumens) and 3 directional modes. 360°, 180° (front-only), and 180° (rear-only) to give you several lighting options when you don’t need light in all directions.
It has a flip out hook underneath for hanging on wire and even onto studs as well as a 1/4″ – 20 thread tripod mount for several handsfree options. Plus you have the two grab handles on top for easy carrying.
It has a rated runtime of up to 18 hours with a 6ah battery when used on its lowest brightness setting, though no mention if that runtime rating is with 360 degree lighting or 180 or just the front? It also has a water and dust resistant rating of IP54.
This type of light with its surrounding light makes it also perfect for camping and emergency situations and also thanks in part to it having on-board USB-A and USB-C charge ports to double as a portable power source.
