CNOIJUTS·9.7/10 Solar Score

i

The Solar Score runs from 9.2 to 9.8 and weighs performance (35%), build (25%), value (25%), safety (10%, where it applies) and warranty (5%), using only what the manufacturer and the listing publish. How we pick ›

The 2-pack pick for an angler who wants 12000 lumens, a 12000mAh battery and five modes in each light.

Check price on Amazon

Pros

• 12000 lumens from 474 LED beads
• 12000mAh battery with solar and Type-C charging
• Five modes, including 6500K white, 2700K warm and a red-blue strobe
• Handle, base, hook, magnetic back and tripod screw mount

Cons

• No IP rating stated, only a water-resistant design for light rain
• Tripod not included
• Listed at 8.25 by 6.75 by 1.9 in, larger than a pocket light
• Modes include two 4000K settings, so the five modes are not five distinct colors

Detailed Review

The listing states a 2-pack of solar rechargeable work lights with 474 LED beads, a 12000 lumen output and a 12000mAh battery that charges by solar power and Type-C. The 5 modes cover 6500K bright white, 2700K warm light, 4000K natural light, 4000K at 50% brightness and a red-blue emergency strobe, with smooth dimming from 10% to 100% by long press. Mounting covers a handle, a base, a hook, a magnetic back and a tripod screw interface, while the shell is impact-resistant ABS behind a glass cover and the listed size is 8.25 by 6.75 by 1.9 in. The spec table lists the color temperature as 6500 Kelvin, while the bullets list 6500K, 2700K and 4000K options, so the bullets give the fuller mode list. A 1-year manufacturer warranty is stated in the spec table.

Who it's for: an angler who wants two lights with five modes, a power bank output and several mounting options for work after dark. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a stated IP rating, since this listing states water resistance for light rain and no IP rating.

Its Solar Score of 9.7/10 comes from performance 32/35, build 21/25, value 21/25, safety 5/10 and warranty 3/5: 82 of 100 points, placed on our 9.2 to 9.8 scale.

Safety and Warranty

What this listing states. Impact-resistant ABS shell and red-blue emergency strobe, so safety scores 5 of 10. 1-year manufacturer warranty. It does not say everything a buyer needs, such as who pays return shipping, so warranty scores 3 of 5. See How We Pick.

YXQUA 120W Work Light

YXQUA·9.5/10 Solar Score

i

The Solar Score runs from 9.2 to 9.8 and weighs performance (35%), build (25%), value (25%), safety (10%, where it applies) and warranty (5%), using only what the manufacturer and the listing publish. How we pick ›

The single-light pick for an angler who wants a folding stand, a swivel handle and a USB output in a 0.74 lb light.

Check price on Amazon

Pros

• 10000 lumens from 144 LEDs
• 6000mAh battery with solar and USB charging
• Four modes, including high, medium, low and red-blue blinking
• 180-degree folding stand and swivel handle for aiming

Cons

• Title names IP66 while the bullets name IP65
• A bullets heading says 3 modes while the first bullet lists 4 modes
• No warranty term is stated
• No panel wattage stated for the solar charging

Detailed Review

The listing states a 120W solar rechargeable work light with 144 LEDs, a 10000 lumen maximum output and a 6000mAh battery, charging in 4 to 5 hours for at least 10 hours of work. The 4 modes cover high, medium, low and red-blue blinking, and the light adds a 180-degree folding stand, a swivel handle and a USB output for charging other devices. The listing states a 22% solar energy conversion figure for emergency charging. Two contradictions need noting: the title names an IP66 rating while the bullets name IP65, and a bullets heading says 3 modes while the first bullet lists 4 modes. The listing also mentions 2 years for buying with confidence, but it does not name that as a warranty term.

Who it's for: an angler who wants one light with a stand, a handle and a USB output for a single work area. Who should skip it: anyone who wants matching IP figures or a stated warranty term, since this listing gives neither cleanly.

Its Solar Score of 9.5/10 comes from performance 29/35, build 20/25, value 20/25, safety 5/10 and warranty 0/5: 74 of 100 points, placed on our 9.2 to 9.8 scale.

A 2-pack of 120W solar work lights with 144 LEDs and 10000LM each, 4 lighting modes, an IP66 code and USB power bank output.

Check price on Amazon

Pros

• Two lights in one listing for the price of one set
• USB power bank output at 5V/2A stated
• 0.8 pounds each with a 180-degree swivel handle
• 4 lighting modes including SOS stated

Cons

• No warranty term is stated
• 20% solar conversion is lower than the 21% and 22% here
• Spec table light modes mention a red blue strobe not in the bullets
• Bullets warn against heavy rain despite the IP66 code

Detailed Review

The listing states a 2-pack of 120W solar work lights, each with 144 LED beads, 10000 lumens, 4 lighting modes, a 6,000mAh rechargeable battery charging in 5-6 hours for up to 12 hours of light, 20% solar energy conversion efficiency, USB power bank output at 5V/2A, an IP66 code and a 4-level power indicator. Each light weighs 0.8 pounds with a 180-degree swivel handle. The bullets warn against heavy rain or submersion, which sits oddly next to the IP66 code.

Who it's for: buyers who want two lights for a job site or garage from one listing. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a stated warranty term.

Its Solar Score of 9.5/10 comes from performance 28/35, build 20/25, value 22/25, safety 5/10 and warranty 0/5: 75 of 100 points, placed on our 9.2 to 9.8 scale.

The Solar Score runs from 9.2 to 9.8 and weighs performance (35%), build (25%), value (25%), safety (10%, where it applies) and warranty (5%), using only what the manufacturer and the listing publish. How we pick ›

A 100W solar work light with 10000LM, a 16500mAh battery, adjustable 3000-6000K color temperature and a 2-year warranty.

Check price on Amazon

Pros

• Adjustable 3000-6000K color temperature stated, the only one here
• 16500mAh battery, the second largest stated here
• 2 years of after-sales customer service stated
• IP66 code stated

Cons

• Spec table contradicts the bullets on watts, lumens, battery life and weight
• 336 LED chips in the bullets against 1 light source in the spec table
• 600 grams with no 2-pack option
• No USB power output figure is stated

Detailed Review

The title and bullets state a 100W solar work light with 336 LED chips, 10000 lumens, a 16500mAh rechargeable battery, 8-10 hours of light on a full charge, adjustable 3000-6000K color temperature and 4 modes, an IP66 code and a 180-degree adjustable bracket. The spec table conflicts on nearly every figure: 60W power, 6000LM lumens, 6000mAh battery, 4-8 hour battery life and 2-3.5 lb weight against the 600 grams in the same table; trust the title and bullets. The manufacturer warranty description is 2 years.

Who it's for: buyers who want warm-to-cool color adjustment and the biggest battery short of the sinear. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a clean, contradiction-free spec table.

Its Solar Score of 9.5/10 comes from performance 28/35, build 19/25, value 20/25, safety 5/10 and warranty 3/5: 75 of 100 points, placed on our 9.2 to 9.8 scale.

Compare the picks

Specifications are manufacturer rated as listed, collected 25 October 2026.

How we scored them

The Solar Score weighs performance, build, value, safety and warranty. For work lights, safety means the stated weather rating and impact-resistant build, plus the emergency strobe where one is stated. One of the four picks states a warranty term, the CNOIJUTS with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.

How to choose the best solar work lights for ice fishing

Brightness first, then battery

Lumens set how much ground a light covers, and the battery sets how long it keeps covering it. The CNOIJUTS 2-pack states 12000 lumens from 474 LED beads with a 12000mAh battery, while the YXQUA states 10000 lumens from 144 LEDs with a 6000mAh battery. The two title-only picks state 10000 lumens each, with the CosyEasy stating a 16500mAh battery and the DANCINGBOAR stating no battery capacity. A light with a larger stated battery and a lower stated lumen output will usually run longer on one charge, but the listings here do not state run times per mode, so compare the two stated figures together rather than trusting either one alone.

Modes and color temperature

Modes decide whether one light can serve several jobs: bright white for detailed work, warm light for a shelter, and a strobe for signaling. The CNOIJUTS states 5 modes: 6500K bright white, 2700K warm light, 4000K natural light, 4000K at 50% brightness, and a red-blue emergency strobe, with smooth dimming from 10% to 100% by long press. The YXQUA states 4 modes: high, medium, low, and red-blue blinking, with no color temperatures stated. The CosyEasy title names adjustable color temperature with no modes stated, and the DANCINGBOAR title states no modes at all. For work that mixes detailed tasks and time inside a shelter, the CNOIJUTS mode list covers the widest range on paper, while the YXQUA keeps the choice simpler.

Mounting for work on the ice

A work light is only useful if it stays where it is aimed while both hands are busy. The CNOIJUTS lists a handle for carrying, a base for standing, a hook for hanging, a magnetic back for metal surfaces, and a tripod screw interface, with the tripod not included. The YXQUA lists a 180-degree folding stand and a swivel handle for aiming the light area, plus a compact body at 0.74 lbs. The title-only picks state no mounting, so an angler who needs a stand or a hook should stick with the two full-data picks or check the listing before buying. For more flood light options, see the solar flood lights guide.

Brightness, battery and modes side by side

The table uses only stated figures. The CNOIJUTS states more lumens, more battery capacity and more modes than the YXQUA, and it is the only pick here with a stated warranty term. The YXQUA answers with a lighter body, a folding stand and a lower mode count for simpler use.

Ratings and what is not stated

Weather ratings matter most when a light will sit out in rain or wet snow, but the listings here state them unevenly. The DANCINGBOAR title names an IP66 rating, while the YXQUA title names IP66 and its bullets name IP65, so the YXQUA figures do not agree with each other. The CNOIJUTS states a water-resistant design for light rain with no IP rating, and the CosyEasy title states no rating at all. Treat a missing rating as unstated, not as proof of weakness, and match the stated rating to the exposure the light will actually face. A portable power station can also keep lights and phones going on a longer trip; see the best portable power station for camping guide for that side of the kit.

Sizing Notes

• Match lumens to the work area: 12000 lumens for a wide setup against 10000 lumens for a single work area.
• Match battery capacity to the night: 12000mAh and 16500mAh are the stated capacities here, against 6000mAh for the YXQUA.
• Match modes to the jobs: 5 modes with color temperatures against 4 modes with high, medium, low and blinking.
• Match mounting to the spot: a folding stand, a hook, a magnetic back or a tripod screw, as each listing states.
• Match the stated weather rating to the exposure: an IP66 rating, an IP65 rating, or a water-resistant design for light rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a solar work light charge in low light?

The listings state solar charging, and both full-data picks also charge by cable: the CNOIJUTS by Type-C and the YXQUA by USB cable, so a cable charge covers days with little sun. The YXQUA also states a 22% solar energy conversion figure for emergency charging.

Which light here states the most lumens?

The CNOIJUTS 2-pack states 12000 lumens, against 10000 lumens for the YXQUA, the DANCINGBOAR and the CosyEasy picks. Among the more options, the EZWPRY states 45000 lumens, but it is listed as a more option rather than a pick.

Do any of these lights double as a power bank?

Yes. The CNOIJUTS states a USB output port for charging phones, tablets and other small electronics, and the YXQUA states a USB output for charging other devices. The EZWPRY more option also states USB and Type-C output ports for charging devices off the grid.

What mounting options do these lights offer?

The CNOIJUTS offers a handle, a base, a hook, a magnetic back and a tripod screw interface, with the tripod not included. The YXQUA offers a 180-degree folding stand and a swivel handle. The title-only picks state no mounting.

Do any of these lights state a warranty?

Only the CNOIJUTS states a manufacturer warranty term, of 1 year. The YXQUA mentions 2 years for buying with confidence but does not name that as a warranty term, and the title-only picks state no warranty.
