Bostitch BOS98524 Mini Widescope Work Light 160 Lumens

Product Description

The BOSTITCH BOS98524 is a compact, battery-powered work light designed for hands-free task lighting in vehicle repair and jobsite environments. It produces 160 lumens of output through a broad-beam lens, covering a wide field of view compared to focused-spot work lights. Power comes from four AAA batteries providing up to 2 hours of continuous runtime. The body features a nonslip finish and a water-resistant construction, making it suitable for outdoor and under-hood use. A licensed electrician, mechanic, or general tradesperson can deploy this light quickly without any wiring or mounting hardware.

The BOS98524 is suited for residential and light commercial job sites, service vehicles, and tool bags. The foldable hook allows the unit to hang from a beam, shelf lip, or ladder rung, while the integrated magnetic base lets it attach directly to ferrous metal surfaces such as vehicle body panels, electrical panels, or HVAC equipment cabinets. This flexibility makes it a practical secondary light source during inspections, rough-in work, or service calls where fixed lighting is limited.

For jobsite use, verify the work light meets any applicable OSHA or local site lighting requirements for the task at hand.
