E-Z Red Worklight

E-Z Red Worklights: Hands-Free Illumination Built for the Shop

When a repair demands your full attention, the last thing you want to wrestle with is a flashlight. E-Z Red has spent decades engineering lighting solutions that stay out of your way while keeping your workspace brilliantly lit. Their lineup of worklights reflects a company that deeply understands what automotive professionals and serious DIYers actually need under the hood, inside an engine bay, or deep in a tight chassis corner.

A Legacy of Professional-Grade Lighting

Since 1966, E-Z Red has continuously grown in serving the professional and consumer markets worldwide with specialty hand tools, tool organizers, LED flashlights, and work lights. That longevity is no accident — it reflects a commitment to solving real shop problems with purpose-built tools. In 2012, Caterpillar selected E-Z Red to be the only global licensee for CAT LED Flashlights and Work Lights, and this partnership holds strong today. Being trusted by one of the world's most demanding heavy-equipment brands speaks volumes about the quality E-Z Red consistently delivers.

Signature Worklight Technologies

E-Z Red's worklight lineup is built around a few core engineering principles: high-output LEDs, hands-free mounting, and portable rechargeable power. The XL5500 Xtreme Rechargeable Work Light is a standout example — it offers 500 lumens of light output from a COB LED and a top spotlight that delivers a focused 150-lumen beam, giving technicians both wide-area flood coverage and a precision spot for detail work, all from a single unit.

For magnetic mounting convenience, the XLM500 series puts that same COB LED output on a powerful magnetic base. The 500-lumen COB LED provides smooth, even coverage while the powerful magnetic base secures to any metal surface, freeing your hands to focus on the job — attaching to hoods, lift arms, toolboxes, and any ferrous surface. Stepless dimming lets you dial in the perfect light intensity for any task, from 250 lumens for close detail work up to full 500-lumen output for maximum visibility.

Perhaps the most innovative entry in the E-Z Red worklight family is the ANYWEAR™ Rechargeable Neck Light. Designed for mechanics looking for reliable bright light, the ANYWEAR™ Neck Light offers a first revolutionary, wearable design that can be worn comfortably on the neck all day long — a proudly first-to-market design unlike anything seen before. Boasting 300 lumens with the ability to articulate the beam up to 90°, it's perfect for both close-quarters and long-distance applications, with beams that can be aimed in different vertical directions to obtain a wider range of light or pointed down to focus on a work area. Unlike a traditional headlamp, you can use this light without accidentally blinding bystanders — a practical advantage in a busy shop environment.

E-Z Red also produces clamp-style solutions like the Hood Hawk Under Hood Clamp Light System (XLUHLS), which mounts directly to the hood and projects light downward into the engine bay, keeping both hands completely free for the task at hand.

Built for the Long Haul

E-Z Red manufactures specialty tools and takes great pride in quality, customer service, and pricing — a family-owned company since 1966, designing some of the best quality hand tools and specialty products available for car repair. Their worklights back that reputation with a manufacturer's warranty, ensuring that if within one year from the date of purchase the product fails due to a defect in material or workmanship, E-Z Red will repair if possible or replace it free of charge.

Whether you're a fleet technician, a dealership mechanic, or a weekend warrior tackling your own repairs, E-Z Red's worklight range delivers the brightness, portability, and clever design details that make every job a little easier to see through.
