Beyond lighting, the Fastrax Multi-Function LED Pit Light includes a wealth of practical features that make it indispensable in any RC workshop. An LCD screen displays the time, date, current temperature, and alarm functionality, whilst the integrated USB charging output and mobile phone wireless charging capability keep your devices powered throughout your RC sessions. The mobile phone bracket secures your smartphone for video recording setup or quick reference to setup guides, making this the perfect pit light for competitive RC drivers, weekend bashers, and everyone in between.

Technical Performance
Built with precision engineering and professional-grade materials, the Fastrax Multi-Function LED Pit Light delivers outstanding performance in any RC workshop environment. The device utilises advanced LED technology capable of producing 420 lumens of brightness across five adjustable intensity levels, ensuring you have exactly the right amount of light for any task from detailed electronics inspection to general workspace illumination. The LED lamp head rotates a full 180 degrees and folds completely away, providing exceptional flexibility when working on different aspects of your RC car, whether you're servicing a brushless motor assembly, adjusting transmission settings, or inspecting bearing wear on your ready to run RC vehicle. The housing is constructed from durable ABS composite material, providing excellent impact resistance and longevity in busy pit environments. Weighing just 475 grams, the pit light is lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport between the workshop and the track. The base dimensions measure 172 x 115mm, whilst the post extends to 279 x 38mm, providing a stable, non-slip foundation that won't tip over when adjusting the lamp head or placing tools nearby. The DC 12V input voltage specification ensures broad compatibility with existing workshop power systems and pit station supplies common across UK RC clubs and facilities. Advanced features including the LCD display screen, touch control panel, and dual charging output system (10W wireless and 5V 1A USB) demonstrate Fastrax's commitment to creating multifunctional pit equipment that addresses the real needs of modern RC enthusiasts.
