The company has also been shortlisted for the Innovation Award, the product this award is based around is the MAGFLEX1000, which is an LED strip light that can be twisted, bent and contorted into all kinds of shapes, making it incredibly versatile for a host of environments.

It also comes with a stretchable strap with fixing hooks at either end that twist 180^o, allowing the lamp to span a wide area, such as under the bonnet, between vehicle doors when doing interior work, across the under side of the car or mounted to the ramp as a site light.

It has four light settings, which changes how long it can be used before needing a charge: for instance, on the low light setting (400 lumens), it can last for 20 hours, on the middle setting, it’ll give light for six and a half hours and on the highest light output, which is 1,000 lumens, it’ll last for three hours. The fourth light setting is a red light option. Once the lamp has gone flat, it’ll just take seven hours charging until it has a full battery again.

Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “Since launching the MAGFLEX1000 halfway through 2024, it’s become a firm favourite with our customers, and not just technicians – we’ve had a variety of professionals buying the MAGFLEX1000 and being thrilled with their purchase.

“The flexibility of the lamp means that professionals do not have to keep changing the light source they have, but can instead adapt the MAGFLEX1000 to suit their needs, saving them precious time when working on jobs. It’s these innovative products that are also fun for technicians to use that make them so popular. We’re thrilled that the MAGFLEX1000 has been recognised by CAT in their awards, it’s a fantastic product and we’re pleased with the positive feedback we’ve had since it’s launch.”
