Lumileds announced the Philips Xperion 6000 Under Hood LED Work Light, which it says is designed to help make auto service professionals more productive. This advanced LED work light features a motion detection switch that allows mechanics to turn the light on and off with a wave of their hand, so they can operate it without putting down tools or interrupting their work, the company said.

Built with a telescoping mount that allows the light to be fitted under most any vehicle hood, the Xperion 6000 Under Hood LED Work Light provides up to 1200 lumens and a 5800 K color temperature so that technicians can see clearly, to work quickly and accurately. A 120° wide angle beam illuminates the entire engine compartment, and a user-selectable dimming function give users the right amount of light, where and when they need it.

Designed with 32 high intensity LEDs, the Xperion 6000 Under Hood LED Work Light provides up to three hours run time in the 1200 lumens boost mode and up to 20 hours run time in the 120 lumens eco mode. The light is IP54 rated for resistance to dust and water and IK07 rated for resistance to impacts. The grip surfaces are ABS rubber, and retain excellent grip even when exposed to grease and oils. The light’s rechargeable lithium battery can be fully charged in under five hours.

“We know that in a very literal way, time is money for professional service technicians,” notes Jason Dreger, Lumileds product manager. “Anything we can do to help them save a few seconds here and there is appreciated. The hands-free operation of the Xperion 6000 Under Hood LED Work Light does just that. Professional technicians depend on the functionality, quality, and reliability of their tools and all of our new work lights ensure that they have a light that is durable, dependable, and simple to use.”
