Las Vegas – November 12, 2026 -- Olight brought its Oclip 2 Series to the SEMA Show (Nov. 3–6), pitching a clip-and-magnet work light with a 115° tilting head and a 360° rotating clip to automotive technicians, mechanics and inspectors.
The company is targeting work in tight vehicle spaces, such as recessed engine-bay connectors, where both of a technician's hands are occupied. Olight says bulky work lights cannot fit these spaces and that conventional magnetic torches point only where their brackets face.
Dual-axis design lets technicians aim the beam without moving the mount
The head tilts up to 115° and the clip rotates 360°, supported by self-locking pivots and dual magnetic points. Technicians can clip, magnetically attach or hang the light on strut towers, control arms, chassis rails, panel edges or toolboxes. At SEMA, mechanics and trade media described it as a "third hand," according to Olight.
Oclip 2 Ultra adds an industry-first R/UV emitter for leak tracing
The Ultra model provides dedicated UV output, so diagnostic specialists can trace fluorescent dyes in A/C lines, coolant hoses and oil seals without a standalone detector. Both models also offer:
- a pure flood beam for close-up engine bay work;
- a focused spotlight for deep chassis and exhaust inspections;
- red light for under-dash electrical checks and night roadside assistance.
Olight validated the dual-axis mechanism through 10,000 clipping and 10,000 rotation cycles
Both models use aluminum construction, carry an IP66 rating and are rated for two-meter drops, aimed at concrete floors and fluid splashes. The Ultra upgrades to scratch-resistant OAL aluminum, which Olight says better withstands severe impacts and corrosive brake cleaners.
Full specifications and configurations are available through Olight's website and Amazon.
