Description
Yato cordless work light 18V 500LM (YT-829683) is a compact work light for the Yato 18 V battery system, whose 10 SMD LED panel produces a luminous flux of 500 lm at a power of 5 W and a beam angle of 180° . The light also works as a power bank: two devices can be charged at the same time from the USB-A and USB-C ports on the body.
The light panel is mounted on an arm that turns 180° , so the light can be aimed up, forwards or down while the body stands on the battery. The body is made of glass-fibre-reinforced PA6-GF30 polyamide, the frame of aluminium and the transparent cover of impact-resistant polycarbonate.
The USB-C port supplies 5 V / 2 A and the USB-A port 5 V / 1 A. The first press of the power switch activates the power bank (the indicator light comes on), the second the light and the third switches the unit off. The body also has an 18 V charging socket.
The weight is 0.155 kg without the battery, the colour temperature 6500 K, the IP rating IP20 (indoor use) and protection class III. The product is a body-only version without a battery or charger; the EAN code is 5906083109201.

What is the 18 V charging socket on the body? A socket mentioned in the manufacturer’s parts list (18 V d.c. IN) on the side of the light body; the instruction manual says to unplug the power supply plug from the battery when the unit is used on battery power.
How far does the arm turn? 180°, so the light panel is aimed straight up, forwards or down.
Is the light suitable for outdoor use? The IP rating is IP20, so the light is intended for dry indoor spaces.
