Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Fifth of the ten work lights in this guide, the Daphomeu W508 is a two-pack of rechargeable COB lights with magnetic bases, a 240° foldable hook, a 360° rotating stand and a 2200 mAh battery. Its own numbers agree in one place: the bullet breakdown of 2 XPE, 24 COB white and 12 COB red lights adds up to the 38 in the Number of Lights field, and the 1000 lumens quoted in the bullets is the same figure given in the Light Output Maximum field.
Where the same page stops agreeing with itself is the power. The Wattage field reads 1.49 watts, which sits awkwardly beside a 1000-lumen claim and is the only wattage figure the listing gives. The battery fields also pull in two directions: Number of Batteries says one lithium polymer battery is required and included, while Battery Description says alkaline. Every figure and quote on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.
