Easymaxx LED Rechargeable Work Light Review: 2100 Lumens of COB Brightness Tested

Tired of holding a flashlight in one hand while trying to work with the other? If you have spent any time under a car hood or in a dark garage, you know the struggle.

The Easymaxx LED Rechargeable Work Light is a portable COB LED work light that puts out 2100 lumens and mounts hands-free with a clamp or magnetic base. It also rotates 270 degrees and doubles as a USB-C phone charger.

I tested this light in a fully dark garage and under the hood to see whether it can replace the usual flashlight-in-the-mouth routine. I ran it through high mode, low mode, and strobe, and left it running for hours to check battery life.

The short version: it delivers where it counts and the price is hard to argue with. But there are a few things you should know before ordering.

What I Liked

The Easymaxx LED work light impressed me across several areas during testing. Here is what stood out.

2100 Lumens of COB Brightness

On high mode, this light fills a two-car garage with usable light. The 2100 lumens rating is not just a marketing number — I could see every bolt, wire, and hose under the hood without straining.

The COB panel makes the difference here. Traditional LED spot lights create a single bright dot surrounded by shadows. The COB panel spreads light evenly across a wide area, eliminating those annoying hot spots that blind you when you look up. For detailed work like wiring or plumbing, the even distribution matters.

Clamp and Magnetic Mount

The clamp grip is firm enough to hold on workbench edges, shelf rails, and car hood braces. I tested it on several surfaces and it stayed put without slipping. Three seconds to clip on, twist to aim, and you are working.

The magnetic base is equally useful on metal surfaces. I stuck it to workbench legs and the underside of the car hood. The magnets hold well, though I avoid hanging it directly overhead as a precaution. On a vertical surface or angled metal, the hold is solid.

270-Degree Rotation Range

The head swivels 270 degrees left and right while the base tilts up and down 180 degrees. In practice, this means you can aim the light at any angle without repositioning the entire unit.

I found this particularly useful under the hood where you need to redirect light between the engine bay and the fender area. One quick twist and the beam moves exactly where you need it. Zero shadow zones.

USB-C Rechargeable With Power Bank

The Easymaxx charges via USB-C, which means I can use the same cable I use for my phone. A full charge takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours and gives 3.5 to 7 hours of runtime depending on the brightness mode.

Low mode lasts about seven hours, which covers a full day of intermittent garage work. High mode runs for about 3.5 hours. The USB output port also lets this light double as an emergency phone charger, which came in handy once when my phone died mid-project.

Battery Indicator

A small detail that makes a big difference: the battery indicator displays remaining charge at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. When the charge gets low, a blue light starts to strobe as a warning. No guessing whether you have enough juice to finish the job.

What Needs Improvement

No product is without trade-offs, and the Easymaxx has a few areas worth knowing about.

ABS Plastic Build

The body is ABS plastic, not aluminum. For a cordless work light in this price range, that is expected, but it means less impact resistance than a Milwaukee or DeWalt option. It survived a few bumps during testing without issue, and the IPX4 waterproof rating helps with splashes. The manufacturer claims it handles drops from up to three meters, but I would not push that on a rough job site.

Overhead Magnet Concerns

The magnetic mount holds well on vertical and angled surfaces, but I would not use it to hang the light directly overhead. The weight of the unit combined with a single-point magnet contact makes me cautious about it dropping onto whatever I am working on. On a fender lip or workbench leg, the magnets are confident. Directly above your head is a different story.

Phone Charging Drains Battery

Using the USB output to charge a phone drains the work light battery fast. The power bank feature is convenient in a pinch, but treat it as an emergency option rather than a regular charging station. If you need steady light and phone power at the same time, bring a separate battery pack.

How It Compares

The rechargeable LED work light market has no shortage of options. Here is how the Easymaxx stacks up against well-known alternatives.

vs Milwaukee M18 ROVER

The Milwaukee M18 ROVER is the go-to recommendation for professionals already in the M18 battery ecosystem. Build quality is top-tier and the light output is consistent. However, the ROVER requires a separate M18 battery and charger, which pushes the total cost well above the Easymaxx. If you already own Milwaukee tools, the ROVER makes sense. If you need a standalone work light with its own battery, the Easymaxx is the more practical and affordable option.

vs DeWalt 20V MAX DCL043

The DeWalt DCL043 delivers 1500 lumens with a pivoting head and impressive throw distance at 508 yards. Like the Milwaukee, it requires a 20V MAX battery. The Easymaxx matches it on versatility with the clamp and magnetic mount while offering a higher 2100-lumen output. The DeWalt wins on build durability and brand reputation. The Easymaxx wins on self-contained convenience and price.

vs Kobalt 24V 2000-Lumen Work Light

The Kobalt 24V is the closest competitor on paper, offering 2000 lumens at a budget-friendly price. It ties into the Kobalt 24V battery platform sold at Lowe’s. The Easymaxx edges it on brightness at 2100 lumens and adds the clamp design for hands-free positioning without a stand. Choose the Kobalt if you are already in that ecosystem. Choose the Easymaxx if you want a complete, self-contained solution.

For users who do not own a tool battery platform and want a portable, cordless work light that just works out of the box, the Easymaxx offers the best combination of brightness, mounting options, and value.

Final Verdict

The Easymaxx LED Rechargeable Work Light delivers where it counts: bright COB lighting, a versatile clamp and magnetic mount, and a self-contained rechargeable battery that lasts a full work session.

I am giving it a 4.4 out of 5.

It loses points for the ABS plastic construction and the overhead magnet limitation. But for the price, the 2100-lumen output, 270-degree rotation, and built-in USB-C charging make this a strong value in the portable work light category.

Bottom line: If you need reliable, hands-free lighting for garage work, car repairs, or job site tasks and you do not want to buy into a tool battery platform, the Easymaxx is an easy recommendation.
