That is also one of those challenges that is not particularly easy to upgrade. Lighting is a common garage issue that should be easy enough for any garage dweller to bolster, and you can probably even make that upgrade without spending much money in the process.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s particularly true if you&#8217;re shopping at a budget friendly home improvement and hardware outlet like Harbor Freight Tools, which currently has a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2075378\/handy-harbor-freight-gadgets-to-upgrade-garage\/\" target=\"_blank\">slew of options available<\/a>&nbsp;that can brighten up your garage game. Those options cover a wide range of styles and functions, covering everything from standing and handheld options to motion-sensor models and even fully wired lighting kits. Many of those options bear the name of Braun, including a low-cost, 500-Lumen light that could prove to be a major upgrade for any garage in need of brightening up.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with the Braun name, the brand primarily focuses on the manufacture of lighting.&nbsp;It&#8217;s also&nbsp;one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/1559432\/tool-brands-owned-by-harbor-freight\/\" target=\"_blank\">several notable tool brands<\/a> that is currently owned by Harbor Freight Tools. As for the light in question, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harborfreight.com\/500-lumen-rechargeable-portable-folding-led-work-light-71095.html\" target=\"_blank\">the 500-Lumen floodlight<\/a> is selling for just $21.00, and its design makes it an ideal upgrade for anyone looking for a little extra visibility when they&#8217;re working under the hood, or even under the vehicle itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"news-article\">\n<h2 class>What to know about Braun&#8217;s folding LED garage light<\/h2>\n<div class=\"columns-holder \">\n<p>If you were to look over the various Braun lighting options currently available from Harbor Freight Tools, you&#8217;ll notice that they are generally well-rated by users. We recently even tabbed Braun&#8217;s Motion-Sensor Shop Lights as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2105245\/harbor-freight-find-upgrade-garage-lighting\/\" target=\"_blank\">a solid garage upgrade option<\/a> ourselves.&nbsp;You will not, unfortunately, see such notices from the 500-Lumen light, which is a new addition to Braun&#8217;s Harbor Freight lineup, and has yet to be rated by a single consumer.<\/p>\n<p>It did, however, find a fan in YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/W2ZAlnLh8lg?si=WQBrCZE315wwy7gt\" target=\"_blank\">Last Best Tool<\/a>, who dubbed it a &#8220;hidden gem&#8221; in Harbor Freight&#8217;s Braun lineup during their test video. That post specifically points out the Braun light&#8217;s price point, comparing it quite favorably in that regard to similar torches from major brands like Milwaukee, DeWalt, Klein Tools, and even its Harbor Freight sibling, Icon. The light&#8217;s versatility is also noted as a solid selling point, with the YouTuber noting its kickstand design makes it easy to simply stand on a flat surface when necessary. Its built-in magnet also allows for mounting to metal surfaces, and the light even boasts an easy-hang hook that tucks away into the back of the device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, the Braun has optional high and low settings, with&nbsp;the 500-Lumen floodlight providing up to 14.5 hours of illumination on a full charge. Per Harbor Freight, it can also light an area up to 90-feet away, and the lithium-ion battery is rechargeable via an included USB-C cable. The Braun light even has a flashlight option built into the head, which can reportedly provide illumination for up to 26-hours.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; and hardware outlet like Harbor <span class=\"match\">Freight<\/span> Tools, which currently has a\u00c2\u00a0slew &#8230; is currently owned by Harbor <span class=\"match\">Freight<\/span> Tools.
