Harbor Freight’s ICON 1000 Lumen Slim Bar Light with UV Inspection might be their best tool yet.
In this in-depth review, I break down its features, do a teardown to inspect the lithium-ion battery (and whether it’s user-replaceable like the BRAUN), and compare it to the Braun 500 Lumen work light.
If you’re a mechanic, tech, DIYer, or just love a good flashlight — this one’s for you.
🧰 ICON Features:
1000 lumens COB LED
Dual light, UV inspection, high CRI mode
Magnetic base, USB-C, IP65 water resistant
270° rotating head + 360° hook
5200 mAh lithium battery with 17hr runtime
At $39.99 on sale, this might be Harbor Freight’s best deal. At $59.99? Still a serious contender.
👀 Perfect for: Automotive techs, HVAC pros, campers, off-roaders, construction workers.
📦 Compared to BRAUN 500 Lumen Work Light
🔧 Inside look at battery quality + teardown
✅ Final verdict: Must buy when on sale
Thanks to @DaleLucid for telling me about this light @harborfreight
