MAXXEON Cyclops MXN00813, USB-C Rechargeable LED Work Light, Hi-Viz Orange, 720 Lumens

It's a good test of how nice is a piece of gear to see how often one reaches for it over any alternative. And in this regard the Maxxeon Cyclops is a winner. I have a bunch of LED task lights amongst my two garages, shop, and camping gear. I find I reach for a Maxxeon most of the time -- to the point where I'm now up to five of 'em so one is nearby wherever I'm working. They're compact, hold a charge a long time in storage or use, have a just-right strength magnet in the base, three convenient and usually quite adequate brightness levels,. These use modern USB-C charging (that unfortunately doesn't work with the 65W PD USB-C to USB-C wall outlets I use for my iDevices, alhough it does work USB-A to USB-C on those outlets). The optics and beam pattern are uniform and the LED doesn't seem to get too hot in use, unlike another brand of light, which scorched the cotton canvas on a seat cover in one of my Tacomas. The color rendering index (CRI) of the Maxxeon Cyclops isn't specified, which almost certainly means it isn't in the 90+ range that would make it a selling point, but the CRI has been more than adequate for how I use these lights. There hasn't been a need yet to use the 1/4"-20 threaded insert in the base, but its convenient to have and I can imagine the day when I use this as a tripod-mounted task light.

A little pricy but I am overall very satisfied with this lamp. On 1st setting (lowest) the light stays on forever. Each setting higher gives you less light time. I’ve found the difference between the lowest and highest light output is negligible. I’ve never felt like I needed to go to higher setting and lowest setting emits plenty of light, plus the charge lasts 2 times as long. The company states at the lowest level the charge lasts 8 hours and I’ve found that to be true. The magnet that is used to keep light In place is very strong, which gives the lamp more functionality as far as aiming the light to your work area. Overall the light does what it says it will do, even better. I guess you get what you pay for and in this case, that’s a good thing. I expect this lamp to last along time as long as I don’t leave it attached to the under side of a car, even then it would still work

When it comes to buying stuff like this on Amazon its hit and miss. These lights are a little more expensive but definitely worth it. It's not uncommon that I leave these on for hours at a time while working on projects. They have strong magnets so finding something to hook them too under the car or inside the car is generally never an issue. Even when i knock them off accidentally and they have a hard landing, they plastic doesn't crack and the electronics are perfect. They don't even turn off after a long drop. They flood light more then project it so if you just need light in a dark work area they are perfect. However if you are trying look into an tight enclosed area you probably still need a flash light as these lights don't project light like a tubular flashlight does. Huge perk is having the battery indicator on the back which seems pretty accurate. We have half a dozen of theses in the shop. Everyone uses them daily and the battery life is still strong after almost a year of use. I liked the shop units so much i ended up buying my own for use in the shop. They feel and functional like a $200+ Mac/Snap on light would for a fraction of the price. Ill probably buy some more for camping and home use.

This is a robust, solidly constructed product. Small but hefty build quality. Maximum light output seems brighter than the advertised 720 lumens. I have not tested battery life which is advertised as 2 hrs at maximum brightness. Magnets are quite powerful, ; have many similar lights with “powerful” magnets that actually range from weak to just adequate. In contrast the magnets on this one are for once, legitimately powerful. The standard camera tripod mount gives you a lot of flexibility in how you can mount the light, and the optional suction cup (I have yet to order or try out). lets you attach to glass plastic fiberglass or aluminum surfaces. Areas for improvement: battery is advertised as just 2500 mAh. Adding a built- in hook would allow this to hang from a tree branch or tent roof. A storage bag is absent, which lesser lights often include. This point seems trivial until you try and collocate the charging cord with it, and keep it from getting damaged in storage. On the other hand the magnet nicely attracts the USB-A connector. There is no Red light mode. I am not a fan of the blinking or SOS mode many lights come with, but a steady red mode would give a night-vision-preservation option and keep some bugs away in the summer camping season. I bought this light to augment my car camping setup and so far am extremely pleased overall. I would recommend.buying this, in fact I am ordering a second one. I bought this with my own funds and am not receiving anything in return for this review.

This is my second purchase of this light. My original light is over three years old and still works great. I use it M - F about 4 hours each day. I work at a golf course repairing equipment. It has been dropped on a concrete floor a few times. Is that abuse? The only negative I have is the actual position of the LED in the case. It is placed at the same height as the piviot point of the magnetic holder. If you need the light to shine downward (like over an edge)and you piviot the light 90 degrees downward, it shines at its own foot instead of over the edge onto your work area. A simple design change of putting the LED at the top of the light would make this light much more versatil.

Light works great. Nice and bright. Stays charged for a pretty long time. Magnets are strong enough to hold it well. Only knock on it is the plastic isn’t really durable so if you drop it it will break. It will still work fine but the cover will break.

I’ve owned this light for just about 2 years and it’s held up great. Fast charging, bright light, good battery life. The magnet is amazing in fact, at work I had left the light underneath a semi trailer I was working on that was very frequently used for long trips, when I realized I had I lost it I went out and purchased another one, 6 months or so later my co worker asked me if this light he found under this trailer was the one I lost and it was, scuffed and scratched but still worked once I charged it up and still using it to this day. Would recommend this light to anyone. I’ve bought two of these for myself and several for gifts for. Amazing product.

I’m a huge fan of these lights. The only issue I’ve had is the magnet pad on the bottom can detach. I just apply some tape over it when that starts to happen. I haven’t noticed any heat issues. Quality is fine for the price. The light has three levels of brightness and never use the highest setting.

Brilliant torches just ordered my second one as can have one one charge. The magnetic base is strong and the torch is very well constructed. It will stay attached even when you forgot to remove it and test drove the car after completing the job. Ask me how I know lols

C'est une lampe de poche aimantée portative rechargeable à 3 intensités qui fonctionne très bien et dont l'aimant est puissant. Le boîtier est robuste et l'angle d'éclairage est ajustable. C'est assez dispendieux, mais je suis très satisfait!

Three brightness levels, strong magnet, adaptable and flexible to suit the environment it’s used. Tactile touch switch and a long lasting run time. Already passed the drop test without a scratch and obviously a light that’s been designed for professional trade purposes.

GREAT light, strong magnet, long lasting battery, USB charging is handy, would buy more

Work great!
