Powers from USB, LiPo Battery or 12V DC

The ProTek R/C LED Pit Light features convenient touch sensitive controls with three color temperature modes and six adjustable brightness/dimming levels.

Incorporating 28 high-powered LED's using around 11 watts of power, the LED Pit Light provides clean, stress-free lighting equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb. The LED technology eliminates the harsh whites of florescent lighting and high-heat commonly associated with close proximity lighting.

With an elegant, stylish, foldable and rotatable design, the adjustable joints can be placed in almost any position without tightening or loosening knobs or screws, simply move the light to where you need and the lamp will hold to form.

Features: 

  • Rotatable Light Head System
  • Power with 12V DC, USB or LiPo (2S-3S)
  • 270° Adjustable Lighting Angle
  • Touch sensitive buttons
  • 3 Adjustable color temperatures
  • 5 step adjustable brightness

NOTE: This light does not have a low voltage cut off function when used with a LiPo battery. Battery voltage must be monitored to prevent over discharge (Approx. 6.4V for 2S, and 9.6V for 3S). At the highest lamp setting (600 lumens), a 5000mAh 2S pack will provide approx. 3.5 hours of use and a 5000mAh 3S pack will provide approx. 5.5 hours of use.

ProTek RC Aluminum LED Pit Light
This light is "ok". I would not buy it again. The base is very narrow, so if you bump it at all in the pits it is almost certainly tipping over. I am thinking of attaching some kind of platform to the base to make it more stable. I do like how compact it is and how it came with a pouch to store it in. Mine developed this odd flickering after only using it twice, like there is a loose connection in it somewhere. Great idea, but some critical flaws in design and questionable durability. I did not think it warrants a single star, but I cannot justify any more than two.

ProTek RC Aluminum LED Pit Light
I purchased this light and the Gforce one. They are IDENTICAL! they both work the same, they both have the same bag and included accessories. The difference is the etching on the light and the stitching on the bag. Save the $5-6 and get this one. To the reviewer that took stars off for loose screw... Tighten it lazy!! The first thing I did was take that screw out and put thread locker on it... PROBLEM SOLVED PERMANENTLY!! you can't expect every pivot screw to be TIGHT... The factory does not know you preference... In regards to the the usb for "plugging a phone in"... That is NOT the intended use... That is for charging the light not other devices... Don't ding a product for not doing what it is NOT supposed to do... Read ALL the instructions and description... Bottom line, This light works... save the Money n buy Pro-tek!!

The light output is good and I like how it looks on my pit table but the power button doesn't work very well. Sometimes the light will not turn on or off. I have to unplug the battery to turn it off approximately 50% of the time. Maybe mine is just a "dud" but I don't think I'd buy this light again

great pit light, the included bag is very nice, folds down and takes up very little space. if you do not have a power supply or charger with usb port, I have found the isound-2143 wall charger works with this light. I could not get an iphone or similar wall charger to turn light on.

This is a great pit light. Variable brightness, variable color temperature and light weight. The 5/12V flexibility is convenient and the included bag is a nice touch. I'd prefer clicky over 'touch sensitive controls', but I can live with them. Two thumbs up!

Got this ight as a gift, I have it for about 3-4 months, hands down the worse light I have seen and used. For maybe a month worked with no issues, now I cant get the light to stay on.. you would think for $58 you would get something that is better made. I will not recommend this light to anyone. I am also no the only one that has this issue.

Works well when plugged into an appropriate power source. Doesn't work with an Apple USB block, so don't bother trying that. I use mine plugged into my charger. Tighten the screw/nut combo on the joint if yours won't hold its position.

Really lights up my pit with its bright led, can either use your power supply usb port or a lipo pack, and very confined light for those tight fits.

Best pit light around! Small, compact, and VERY bright! Run it off your pier supply or your cell phone charger.

This is an amazing light and ive owned lights from ottlite and muchmoore and by far this is the best light ive had i love all the different settings which will provide the best lighting needed wherever you are plus i love the grippy bottom under the parts tray which keeps the light stable and where you put it and the awesome embroidered zip up pouch it comes with

Great light. Only complaint is that the included USB power cable is way too short to be useful. Plan on buying a longer cable if your power source is more than about 6" away from where you are setting the light.

This light is garbage. It barely works with any block and will shut off randomly. Will never buy again and would rather use it for target practice.

I purchased this product a few months ago and I really haven’t been pleased. Since day one I’ve had problems turning it on and off. I have to push the on/off button multiple times. I have a different LED desk lamp very similar to this one that I paid $15 on eBay for and it works perfectly. For the hefty price tag ProTek should have included the 110V power adapter.

Mine showed up broke right where the plastic screws into the metal base but I used some jb weld and it works great. Love the swivel head option and fold up very compact. Besides usps throwing it around I’m sure it would have shown up undamaged but either way it works and I’m very happy with it

I quit racing RC years ago and forgot I had this light. I got a Second Prusa I3 MK3S+ 3D printer from a friend. Use this light to light up the print bed! Works great!!!!

ProTek RC Aluminum LED Pit Light
This light has a fatal flaw. The metal chassis this light uses transmits static shocks directly to the circuit board. This will cause the light to either turn on or off and become unresponsive. It is so susceptible to static that you wont even feel a "shock" and it will cause the device to become unresponsive. For a device that can only be used by touching it, this is unacceptable. The only way I can imagine this being fixed is to use a plastic over-molding and use physical buttons. What happened to mine is that it eventually completely quit working with only the status LED turning green/red without the light turning on.

Micro usb charge port broke after very little use.
The actual light is good.
