Bright, hands-free lighting with a wave of the hand — the new under bonnet compact work lamp from Laser Tools
Tuesday 25 November 2025
Laser Tools introduces the 9197 Under-Bonnet Compact Work Lamp, a 500 mm magnetic COB work light designed for professional technicians and home enthusiasts who need bright, reliable, hands-free illumination in confined spaces. With angle-adjustable magnetic end mounts, dual hanging hooks and a selectable infrared “wave” sensor, the 9197 makes under-bonnet and under-vehicle work faster, safer and far less fiddly. CE & RoHS compliant.
- True hands-free convenience: two angle-adjustable magnetic ends plus two hanging hooks let you mount the lamp securely in awkward positions while both hands are free to work.
- Wave-sensor on/off: an infrared “wave” sensor lets you switch the lamp on or off without touching it — perfect for greasy hands or when repositioning in tight spaces.
- Powerful, even light: 10W COB output with two brightness settings — 500 lm (low) and 1,000 lm (high) — gives broad, bright illumination ideal for inspection, repairs and detailing. The COB (chip-on-board) LED lights a wide surface rather than a single bright point, it gives a smooth, uniform beam that fills the area you’re working on—handy when you’re inspecting or working inside an engine bay.
- Long runtime & fast recharge: built-in 3.7V 4,400 mAh Li-ion battery delivers approx. 2–5 hours use depending on mode; charges via USB-C in 3.5–4 hours. Overcharge and deep-discharge protection included.
- Rugged, workshop ready: ABS body with IK07 impact rating and lightweight design (455 g) for durability and portability.
- Dimensions: 500 × 40 × 40 mm. Weight: 455 g.
- Mounting: 2 × angle-adjustable magnetic ends (for ferrous surfaces) + 2 × hanging hooks for non-magnetic mounting.
Typical applications:
- Under-bonnet illumination for diagnostics, wiring, fluid checks and repairs.
- Under-vehicle inspection (where magnetic mounting to chassis or removable hooks can be used safely).
- Detailing, polishing and paint inspection work where even, shadow-free light is required.
- Anytime hands-free, high-output portable lighting is needed in workshops, garages and mobile service vans.
