HAMA Hama W500-C Black/Yellow COB LED work light, 2 lamps, 500 lm, USB rechargeable, LiPo battery, IP44

Compact HAMA W500-C COB LED work light with two lamps and a maximum light output of 500 lm. The robust plastic housing in black and yellow offers splash protection to IP44 and contains a built-in lithium‑polymer battery rechargeable via USB‑C. Designed for general-purpose portable illumination in workshops, vehicles, home and garden, it provides flexible hands-free mounting with a magnet and a fold-out hook.

Advantages

The HAMA W500-C combines a powerful COB LED panel with a separate white LED to deliver even, wide-area illumination and a focused beam when needed. Six selectable light modes (white LED, bright COB, medium COB, dimmed COB, red COB steady and red COB flashing) cover inspection, repair and signaling tasks. Its USB‑C rechargeable LiPo battery and foldable, impact-resistant plastic housing make it convenient for transport, storage and outdoor use thanks to IP44 splash protection.

Suitable for

• Workshop and garage tasks (repairs, inspections)
• Automotive roadside assistance and vehicle maintenance
• Home and garden work where portable, bright light is required
• Inspection tasks and general-purpose portable illumination
• Hands-free lighting on magnetic or suspended metal surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This work light is intended for general-purpose and portable use; it is not specified as a professional explosion-proof or intrinsically safe lamp for hazardous environments. For continuous, heavy-duty industrial site lighting or applications requiring a higher ingress protection rating (e.g., full water immersion), a dedicated high‑IP or certified industrial luminaire should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Light output: up to 500 lumens
• Light sources: COB LED panel and separate white LED
• Colour temperature (COB): 6500 K
• Operating modes: 6 modes including red steady and flashing
• Power supply: built-in lithium‑polymer (LiPo) rechargeable battery
• Charging: USB‑C charging input
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Housing material: impact-resistant plastic
• Colours: black and yellow

How to use

Switch the lamp on and cycle through the six light modes to select white LED, the required COB brightness level, or the red warning light. Attach the work light to metal surfaces using the built-in magnet or hang it with the fold-out hook to position hands-free illumination. Recharge the internal battery using the supplied USB‑C cable and a compatible USB charger; follow the manufacturer’s guidance on charging times and avoid leaving the battery depleted for extended periods.

What to consider before purchase

• Required brightness and beam type for your tasks (wide COB illumination vs. focused white LED)
• Need for splash resistance (IP44 is splash-resistant but not waterproof)
• Runtime and charging convenience for your typical use patterns
• Whether magnetic or hook mounting suits your work surfaces

Usage recommendations

Use the COB mode for broad-area lighting during inspections or work under vehicles, and switch to the white LED for more focused tasks. Apply the magnet or hook for secure hands-free positioning and recharge the LiPo battery after extended use to maintain performance.
