Flashlight Supfire G12 — handheld workshop torch, 566 lm, USB rechargeable

The Supfire G12 is a handheld workshop flashlight that combines two light sources, a rechargeable battery with USB charging, an adjustable brightness control and a robust TPR housing designed for regular use. It includes a digital battery-level display, a 180° rotating handle, a 360° hanging hook, strong magnetic mounting points and a powerbank function for charging other devices.

Advantages

The G12 offers both a focused front beam and a wide side COB reflector, enabling versatile illumination for near and mid-range tasks. Its 1200 mAh rechargeable battery supports extended use and can be recharged via micro USB; the powerbank feature lets you recharge phones or small devices. Physical features such as the rotating handle, hanging hook and magnetic elements make it easy to position the lamp hands-free, while the durable TPR construction and structural reinforcements improve impact and wear resistance.

Suitable for

• Workshop and garage repairs
• Automotive inspection and maintenance
• Camping, cycling and outdoor short-range lighting
• Household tasks and emergency lighting

When it may not be suitable

The G12 is designed for close to mid-range illumination and workshop tasks; it is not intended as a long-distance searchlight. Its IP44 rating protects against splashes but does not provide full waterproofing for prolonged submersion or heavy rain exposure.

How to use

Charge the G12 using the supplied micro USB cable until the digital display shows the desired battery level. Select the front lamp, side COB lamp or both as needed and adjust brightness with the "+" and "–" buttons to match the task. Use the 180° rotating handle and 360° hook to position the flashlight, or attach it to metal surfaces using the built-in magnets. The powerbank function can be used to charge external devices via the same USB connection while the internal battery holds sufficient charge.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: best for close to mid-range workshop and household tasks, not long-range search operations
• Protection level: IP44 — splash resistant but not submersible
• Battery capacity and runtime: 1200 mAh with up to about 210 minutes runtime depending on mode
• Physical mounting: includes hook, rotating handle and magnets for hands-free use

Usage recommendations

To maximise battery life, use lower brightness settings for routine tasks and charge the battery after extended use; secure the lamp with the hook or magnets for stable, hands-free illumination while working on vehicles or in a workshop.
