Lumenology was created with the sole mission to create a versatile, portable light that can brighten any environment with ease. Maker Rock Smeja wanted to simplify home security by removing the need for wiring, permanent fixture installation, or using your chin to hold a flashlight. Secure the light using the flexible tripod or the magnetic base to brighten up any table, deck, yard, room, cabinet, closet, or any dark space in seconds. You can even magnetize it to the hood or wheel well area of your vehicle when performing maintenance. Lumenology uses MotionSense™ Technology to trigger the ultra-bright light when it detects motion within 13 feet. Better yet, the light will only activate in the dark, extending the life of your batteries. The three-positon switch gives you the option to leave the light on, switch the light off, or switch to the 30-second auto shut-off mode.
