Lighting leader launches two new families of LED Inspection Lamps

The MAGflex and Ergo ranges have both been developed to include the latest innovations in LED technology. In line with market demand, they offer ‘hands free’ operation to assist with a multitude of tasks.

Ring Inspection Lamps have long been a favourite among mechanics and motoring enthusiasts up and down the country. The company is known for using the latest technology to develop workshop tools that are both durable and efficient. It was one of the first companies to bring LED technology to Inspection Lamps.

The MAGflex Range
The MAGflex range (MAGflex, MAGflex Twist and MAGflex UV) is ultimately designed for hands-free use, providing the ability to position light where it is required without any fuss. The MAGFlex collection has essential tools that provide the user with a consistent and flexible light source for working in any environment.

New to the range is the MAGflex Twist. It features a strong and robust polycarbonate and ABS construction, as well as a positioning mechanism that allows the lamp to rotate 360 degrees as well as 180 degree ratcheting.

The MAGflex UV replaces the existing Ring RIL3000 inspection lamp, and now uses new Strip LED technology to provide a light output of 440 lumens. This is the best light output yet from a Ring Inspection Lamp, which, when combined with an optical lens, provides the ultimate wide angle illumination to make working in poorly-lit environments easy.

As suggested by its name, the MAGflex UV incorporates a high power LED torch function and 6xLED UV lamps that will pick up fluorescent dyes used to detect leaks.

Completing the range is the MAGflex (RIL4000). This is an existing award-winning lamp that has had a face-lift to mark it as a professional quality Ring product and make sure it is easily visible if left on an engine bay.

All three inspection lamps in the MAGflex range are rechargeable and cordless, containing lithium-ion batteries for faster, consistent recharging. In addition, all three models feature a ratchet mechanism, magnet and integral hanging hooks to allow for multi-positioning and directional light for totally hands-free working.

The Ergo Range
The Ergo range comprises of three existing models (Ergo, Ergo Robust and Ergo UV), which have all been designed to be lightweight and ergonomic.

All three lamps are designed to be comfortable to hold, have a robust design and light output from a COB LED to give better visibility in the workshop environment. All three models have been redesigned so they look part of the family.
All three inspection lamps in the Ergo range contain lithium-ion batteries for faster, consistent recharging and use a COB LED and precision reflector that boasts a wide angle light output three times brighter than the equivalent standard LED lamp.
All are rechargeable and cordless, meaning they can be used without restriction and all include a magnet and belt clip to allow for hands free working and portability.
One of the most important features of the Ergo Robust is its IK rating of 10, which has been independently tested and categorised as virtually indestructible. Such a high rating means its construction is of the highest standard and more than equipped to withstand the knocks, wear and tear that are inevitable in a workshop or garage environment.

As one of the world’s leading suppliers of vehicle lighting, auto electrical and workshop products, Ring is once again leading the way with LED technology showcased within the MAGflex and Ergo range of Inspection Lamps.
