Streamlight 61520 BearTrap Multi-Function Work Light, 325-2000 Lumens, Red, White Thermoplastic

The Streamlight BearTrap is a rechargeable multi-function work light built for mechanics, technicians, overlanders, and anyone who needs hands-free illumination in tight spaces. With output ranging from 325 to 2000 lumens across both spot and flood modes, this light adapts to everything from detailed inspection work to lighting a full work area. The thermoplastic construction and chemical-resistant lens handle the demands of shop work, field repairs, and automotive environments without breaking a sweat.

What sets the BearTrap apart is its versatility in positioning. The magnetic base sticks to any ferrous surface, the integrated hook stows away when not needed, and the clamp mechanism grips virtually anything—dashboard edge, tool box, tent pole, you name it. It also stands freely on flat surfaces, so you can prop it wherever you need light without your hands. The recessed push-button switch and multi-function design mean you're not fumbling to turn it on or cycle modes while wearing gloves or in the dark.

Battery life scales with your choice of mode and brightness. In flood mode (wider, even coverage), you get up to 2.5 hours at high output or 8.75 hours on low. Spot mode (concentrated beam for distant or detailed work) runs 4.5 hours on high down to 12.5 hours on the lowest setting. The lithium-ion battery recharges in 5.5 hours and can charge while the light is in use. A built-in battery indicator turns red when it's time to plug in, and you'll always know where you stand thanks to the integrated level indicator.

Durability is baked in: IPX4 water resistance, 1-meter impact resistance, a rubberized grip that won't scratch surfaces, and a tough thermoplastic body. Whether you're crawling under a rig, diagnosing engine trouble, or setting up camp after dark, the BearTrap gives you the output and positioning flexibility to work without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the BearTrap hands-free while I work?

Yes. The light features a magnetic base for metal surfaces, a clamp that grips virtually any object, a stowable hang hook, and a stable standalone base. You can mount it almost anywhere to keep both hands free.

What's the difference between spot and flood mode?

Flood mode produces even, wide-area coverage—ideal for illuminating a work space. Spot mode creates a concentrated beam that throws farther and is better for detailed inspection or reaching distant targets. Both modes offer three brightness levels for extended or maximum output runtime.

How long does the battery last, and can I use it while charging?

Runtime ranges from 2.5 to 12.5 hours depending on the mode and brightness setting. The lithium-ion battery recharges in 5.5 hours and can continue to operate while plugged in and charging.

Is this light suitable for use in automotive or chemical environments?

Yes. The lens is specifically designed to resist common automotive chemicals, and the IPX4 water-resistant rating protects against splashes and light spray. The thermoplastic construction is durable in shop and field conditions.
