The 12-Inch “Truck Sun” That’s Saving Workers From Fumbling Around in the Dark (And Flashlights in Their Teeth)

You paid thousands for your truck and tools. Why are you still digging through them with your phone light?

Every early start, workers lose time hunting for the right bit, battery or fitting in a pitch-black truck box, while one 12-inch light that clicks onto the power tool battery they already own is turning the back of the truck into a lit-up workshop in seconds.

1. It Runs Off the Power Tool Battery You Already Own

Most workers already carry a bag full of 18V batteries. LockLite clicks straight onto the Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt or Hikoki battery you already use, so there’s no extra battery to charge and no hard wiring into the truck.

When it runs low, swap in a fresh battery off the charger and you’re lit up again in seconds, without ever touching the truck’s starter battery.

“Very easy to set up and install. Two strips lights up my van like a Christmas Tree”- Ash R.

2. 2000 Lumens Lights Up Every Drawer, Case and Corner

A headlamp only lights whatever you’re looking at, and a phone light drains your phone. LockLite throws 2000 lumens of bright, even light across the whole truck box, so you can see every drawer, case and fitting at once.

That means both hands free for the job, whether it’s a 5am start or packing up after dark.

“Works really well, lights up a 1700mm toolbox very brightly.”- Mark

3. Installs in About 2 Minutes, However You Want to Mount It

Every kit comes with screws, magnets and strong 3M tape, so you can pick whatever suits your truck box, toolbox, van or shed. No hard wiring and no electrician needed.

Most people have it up and running in about 2 minutes, and if you change trucks, it comes with you.

“Easy to order online, came quickly in the post and was simple to install.”- Mark

4. Built for Dust, Rain and Long Days on the Job

The back of a work truck is a rough place for a light. LockLite is IP66 dust and water resistant, so dust, rain and a hose-down won’t stop it.

A charged 18V battery gives you 6+ hours of light (depending on battery size), more than enough for the early start and the late finish.

“Really good quality item”- Colin R.

5. Everything You Need Is in the Box

Light bar, battery adapter, cable and all three mounting options come in one kit. Just pick your battery brand when you order and the matching adapter comes in the box: Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt or Hikoki.

No extra parts and no trip to the hardware store. Unbox it, mount it, click in a battery and you’re done.
