FAQ
How many watts is the entoquip light?
The full-sized light is 32 watts and 240 LEDs. The USB version is 12 watts and 120 LEDs.
How big is the entoquip light?
The full-sized light is less than 14 inches long. The USB version is less than 8 inches long.
How hot do the entoquip lights get?
The LEDs on average stay below 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can I run the entoquip light off of a battery?
The full-sized light plugs directly into mains electricity or any power supply with a regular outlet. You can buy an inverter for less than $50 and connect the light to your car cigarette lighter or directly to a battery using the appropriate cables to give you more options.
How long do entoquip lights run on lithium ion batteries?
This depends on the power supply’s watt-hours. A TSA-approved 100 watt-hour power supply can be taken in carry-on luggage on an airplane and will run a 32-watt full-sized entoquip light for at least 3 hours, and the 12-watt USB version for 6-7 hours.
Can entoquip lights be used in wet conditions?
Yes, the lights are water resistant, but the plug adapter and outlet on the device should be shielded from rain.
Is the ultraviolet radiation from the lights dangerous?
Entoquip lights are in the UVA spectrum (365-395 nanometers). UVA is no different from atmospheric radiation that you would get on a sunny day, but in far less concentration. We recommend use of UVA filtering eyeglasses or goggles and/or not staring directly at the lights.
What do you recommend as power supplies for running entoquip lights when I’m away from mains electricity?
We recommend and have used the following power supplies extensively (links to Amazon):
- 300 Watt Jackery
- 116 Watt-hour Sikon Lithium Power Supply
- 88.8 Watt-hour SinKeu Lithium Power Supply
-
An inverter will allow you to plug the lights into the cigarette lighter adapter of your car or connect it directly to a battery using the included cables. The one linked has 2 AC outlets as well as 2 USB ports. It costs $40 for a 500w, and smaller inverters cost much less.
What are the runtimes for entoquip lights on the various devices you recommend?
Entoquip light (32 watts) runtime:
- 6 hours on a 200 watt-hour (wh) Jackery
- 9 hours on 300 wh Jackery
- 3.5 hours on a 116 wh Sikon power supply
- 2..5 hours on 88.8 wh SinKeu power supply
Entoquip light USB (12 watts) run time:
- 24 hours on a 300 wh Jackery
- 7 hours on a 116 wh Sikon power supply
- 4.5 hours on 88.8 wh SinKeu

Can I use the entoquip lights outside of the United States?
Entoquip lights will work anywhere (with appropriate plug adapters) where the input electricity is 100-240 volts and 50-60 hertz. For countries with electricity outside these parameters, you will need a voltage converter.
