Breaking down along the roadside is daunting, especially at night. Be prepared for the unexpected with the BANDO 1K. Compact and foldable, it easily fits in a glovebox yet delivers up to 1000 lumens of bright area lighting. This versatile light band swiftly transforms into three adaptable lighting solutions to help you see, be seen, and stay safe.
Crafted with a flexible COB LED specifically designed for automotive tasks, the BANDO 1K functions as an underhood light using the padded hooks, an emergency warning light with integrated magnets, or a wearable sash light using the adjustable strap and buckle system. Its six lighting modes include high, medium, and low white light settings—offering up to a 28-hour runtime—as well as red task, red hazard, and a directional emergency signal mode to alert oncoming motorists and improve roadside safety. The red modes enhance visibility while conserving power and minimizing glare.
Built for functionality and ease of use, the light band features two 120º rotation points that allow you to direct illumination exactly where it’s needed. Its durable, silicone-encased construction ensures flexibility and resistance to water (IPX4 rated) and impact. The built-in Smart Power Control™ (SPC) technology offers smooth mode transitions to preserve battery life, while the Direct-to-Red™ startup helps prevent accidental blinding in dark environments.
One of the standout features of the BANDO 1K is its bi-directional USB-C port, which supports fast charging and allows the device to double as a power bank. In the event of a phone battery emergency, you can use the BANDO 1K to charge your mobile device, adding another layer of utility to this already multifunctional tool.
Included accessories are a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, an adjustable wearable strap with buckle, and two padded hanger hooks for underhood or other suspended use. The BANDO 1K is powered by two included 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, offering recharge times of 4 hours at 2.0A, 8 hours at 1.0A, or 16 hours at 0.5A, making it as practical for extended work as it is for emergency use. Whether for automotive repair, camping, or roadside safety, the BANDO 1K is a powerful, reliable, and smart lighting companion.
