Fenix WT16R – Rechargeable Magnetic Work Flashlight
The WT16R is a flat 5" work light with two jobs built into one head. Two Cree XP-E2 LEDs on the end make a 300 lumen spotlight that reaches 377 feet, and a COB panel along the face floods the area right in front of you, which is what you want under a hood, inside a cabinet or behind a panel. The flood side also has a yellow flashing mode for roadside warning.
Magnets in the back and in the tail let it stick to a car body, a breaker box or a steel beam, and a wide steel clip holds it on a pocket or pack strap. That is why it shows up on mechanics' benches: it is a magnetic flashlight you can park and forget while both hands work.
The 2000 mAh battery is built in and charges by USB-C, with a battery level indicator on the body. At 4.55 oz it is light enough to live in a work pocket. It is IP66 rated, so rain and splashes are fine, but it is not meant to be submerged.
