• Tradespeople & Technicians: Electricians, mechanics, plumbers, HVAC specialists, inspectors, and maintenance workers often find themselves in poorly lit areas. This light allows them to illuminate their work area while keeping both hands free for tools and tasks.

• Automotive Users: For roadside emergencies, checking fluids under the hood, changing a tire in the dark, or simply locating lost items in your car's interior, this clip light is an invaluable companion.
• Homeowners & DIYers: When working in attics, crawl spaces, basements, or during power outages, the ClipMate USB provides crucial illumination. It’s perfect for home repairs, finding fuse boxes, or any task requiring focused light in challenging spots.
• Everyday Carry (EDC) Advocates: Its ultra-compact size and lightweight design make it an ideal addition to any EDC kit, ensuring you're always prepared for unexpected low-light situations.
• Security & Law Enforcement Personnel: For discreet illumination, checking documents, or navigating dimly lit environments, the red LED mode offers tactical advantages by preserving night vision and minimizing detection.

If your work or hobbies often put you in situations where you need light, but your hands are occupied, the Streamlight ClipMate USB is a solution you can count on. It's built for those who value practicality, durability, and superior performance in a small package.

Unpacking the Power: Features That Make a Difference

The Streamlight ClipMate USB (UPC: 080926611269) is packed with features that elevate it above standard compact lights. Each element is carefully considered to enhance usability and performance.

Dual-Output Illumination: White C4 LED & Red LED

One of the most significant advantages of the ClipMate USB is its dual-light source capability, offering both a powerful white beam and a specialized red light.

• White C4® LED: Streamlight's proprietary C4 LED technology delivers impressive brightness and clarity. This isn't just any LED; C4 technology produces a remarkably intense, piercing beam that effectively illuminates targets and work areas.
  • High Mode (70 Lumens): This potent output provides ample light for detailed tasks, general illumination, or quickly identifying objects up to 30 meters away. It's perfect for searching a dark closet, illuminating an engine bay, or navigating unlit paths. The 2.5-hour runtime on high ensures sustained bright light when you need it most.
  • Low Mode (10 Lumens): For less intense lighting needs, such as reading documents, close-up inspections, or extending battery life, the 10-lumen low mode is ideal. With an impressive 20-hour runtime, it's perfect for prolonged use where maximum brightness isn't required, offering effective illumination up to 10 meters.
• Red LED: The inclusion of a red LED is a game-changer for specific applications. Red light is crucial for:
  • Night Vision Preservation: Unlike white light, red light does not constrict the pupils as much, allowing your eyes to remain dark-adapted. This is invaluable for stargazing, night-time navigation, map reading, or any activity where maintaining natural night vision is paramount.
  • Stealth & Reduced Signature: Red light is less visible over long distances and helps maintain a lower profile, making it useful for security, tactical operations, or observing wildlife without startling them.
  • Low-Level Task Lighting:
    • High Mode (0.5 Lumens): Provides just enough red light for close-up tasks like reading a map or finding something in a backpack without disrupting night vision. Offers a remarkable 16-hour runtime.
    • Low Mode (0.2 Lumens): For ultra-discreet illumination and maximum battery life, this mode provides a faint red glow, perfect for maintaining complete dark adaptation. With a stunning 65-hour (or even 72-hour depending on source) runtime, it's an emergency-ready option.

The ability to seamlessly switch between white for maximum visibility and red for preserving night vision or stealth makes the ClipMate USB an incredibly adaptable tool.

Integrated 360-Degree Rotating Clip for Unmatched Hands-Free Versatility

The unique, spring-loaded clip is arguably the defining feature of the Streamlight ClipMate USB, transforming it into a truly hands-free illumination solution.

• Secure Attachment: The robust clip securely attaches to virtually anything, from hat brims, visors, and baseball caps to shirt pockets, belt loops, backpack straps, tactical vests, and even thin edges like a car door or table.
• Full 360-Degree Rotation: This crucial design element allows users to precisely aim the light exactly where it's needed, regardless of how the light is clipped. Whether you need to illuminate directly in front of you, to the side, or even behind for signaling, the full rotation capability offers unparalleled flexibility.
• Optimized for Task Lighting: Imagine working under a sink, repairing a circuit board, or reading a map in the dark. With the ClipMate USB, you can attach it to your cap, directing the light exactly at your hands, leaving both your hands free to manipulate tools or objects. This significantly enhances efficiency, safety, and comfort.

Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Battery with USB Convenience

Say goodbye to constantly buying and replacing batteries. The Streamlight ClipMate USB features an integrated lithium polymer battery, offering significant benefits:

• Cost Savings: Over the lifespan of the device, the ability to recharge eliminates the ongoing expense of disposable batteries.
• Environmental Friendliness: Reduced battery waste contributes to a more sustainable footprint.
• Convenient USB Charging: The integrated micro-USB charging port allows for universal charging. You can power it up using a computer, a wall adapter, a power bank, or even a car charger. This means you can charge it almost anywhere with a USB port.
• Quick Charge Time: A full charge takes approximately 4 hours, meaning less downtime and more readiness.
• Charging Status Indicator: A clear LED indicator lets you know when the light is charging (red) and when it's fully charged (green), providing peace of mind.

This rechargeable design ensures that your light is always ready when you are, making it an incredibly reliable and practical tool for everyday use and emergency preparedness.

Durable, Lightweight Polymer Construction

The ClipMate USB is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in demanding environments.

• Impact-Resistant Engineered Polymer: The body is constructed from a high-performance polymer that is both lightweight and incredibly tough. This material makes the light resistant to drops and impacts, ensuring it continues to function even after accidental falls.
• IPX4 Water-Resistant: Rated as IPX4, the ClipMate USB is designed to be weather-resistant, capable of withstanding splashes and light rain. This makes it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions, from a sudden downpour on a hike to working in a damp garage.
• 1-Meter Impact Resistance Tested: This specific rating indicates that the light has been rigorously tested to ensure it can survive a drop from 1 meter without compromising its functionality, a common real-world scenario.
• Compact & Lightweight: Weighing in at a mere 1.9 ounces (53.9 grams) and measuring approximately 3.2 inches (8.12 cm) in length, it’s remarkably small and light. You’ll barely notice it in your pocket or clipped to your gear, yet it delivers powerful illumination. Its black finish adds to its sleek and professional appearance.

Additional Thoughtful Design Elements

• Recessed Push-Button Switch: The multi-function push-button switch is strategically placed and recessed to prevent accidental activation, saving battery life. It allows for easy cycling through the different light modes (White High, White Low, Red High, Red Low, and Off).
• Removable USB Port Cover: A durable, tethered rubber cover protects the micro-USB charging port from dust and moisture, maintaining the light's weather resistance and longevity.

Real-World Applications: Where the ClipMate USB Shines

How does the Streamlight ClipMate USB practically enhance your daily life or professional endeavors? Consider these scenarios:

• Automotive Repairs: Clip it to the hood or an engine component for hands-free illumination while troubleshooting under the hood. For a flat tire at night, clip it to your hat brim to keep your hands free for lug nuts and tools.
• Camping & Hiking: Attach it to your backpack strap for trail illumination, clip it inside your tent for overhead lighting, or use the red light for map reading without losing your night vision by the campfire.
• Home Inspections & Maintenance: When crawling into tight spaces like crawl spaces or attics, clip it to your helmet or shirt for constant illumination, allowing you to use both hands for pipes, wires, or insulation.
• Emergency Preparedness: Keep one in your car's glove compartment, your bug-out bag, or a bedside drawer for power outages. Its long red light runtime makes it ideal for sustained emergency lighting without draining the battery quickly.
• Professional Trades: An electrician can clip it to their belt for easy access, then quickly attach it to a junction box or electrical panel for hands-free wiring. A mechanic can clip it to their shirt pocket to illuminate an intricate part of an engine.
• Reading & Hobbies: For late-night reading without disturbing others, or for hobbies requiring focused light like model building or intricate crafts, the ClipMate USB provides targeted illumination.
• Discreet Operations: For security guards or anyone needing minimal visible light, the red LED provides excellent utility without drawing unwanted attention.

The Streamlight ClipMate USB isn't just a gadget; it's a reliable partner for countless situations where effective, hands-free lighting is paramount. Its design directly addresses the common pain points associated with traditional flashlights and headlamps, offering a superior, more flexible solution.
