NEBO Swyvel 1000 Lumen Rechargeable Work Light
The NEBO Swyvel is our most versatile hands-free work light, delivering up to 1000 lumens with a 180° rotating head that directs light exactly where you need it. Whether you’re working under the hood, in tight crawl spaces, or on job sites, this rechargeable flashlight adapts to any task.
We built the Swyvel with a powerful magnetic base and integrated hanging hook, so you can mount it on metal surfaces or suspend it overhead for optimal lighting angles. The USB-C rechargeable battery eliminates the need for disposable batteries, and four light modes let you balance brightness with runtime for any project.
- 1000 lumen maximum output on high mode with 100 lumen low mode for extended runtime
- 180° rotating head swivels to direct light at any angle for hands-free operation
- Magnetic base adheres to metal surfaces; integrated hanging hook for overhead mounting
- USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion battery with up to 20 hours runtime on low mode
- Four light modes: high (1000 lumens), medium (500 lumens), low (100 lumens), and emergency strobe
Four Light Modes for Every Work Scenario
The NEBO Swyvel offers four distinct lighting modes so you can optimize brightness and battery life for each task. High mode delivers the full 1000 lumens for maximum visibility in large work areas or outdoor settings, while medium mode provides 500 lumens for balanced performance during most repair and maintenance work.
Low mode outputs 100 lumens and extends runtime to an impressive 20 hours on a single charge—perfect for extended projects or when you need reliable lighting throughout a full work shift. The emergency strobe mode provides a rapid flashing pattern for roadside safety or signaling in emergency situations.
Magnetic Base and Rotating Head Design
What sets the Swyvel apart is its 180° rotating head that pivots smoothly through a full half-circle of motion. You can angle the beam upward while the light sits on a flat surface, aim it horizontally when mounted on a vertical metal surface, or position it at any point in between.
The powerful magnetic base holds securely to steel frames, vehicle bodies, toolboxes, and machinery, creating a stable hands-free lighting platform. We reinforced the magnet array to support the light’s weight at any rotation angle without slipping, even on vertical surfaces.
USB-C Rechargeable Battery System
We equipped the Swyvel with a USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion battery that delivers reliable power and eliminates ongoing battery replacement costs. The included USB-C cable charges the light in approximately 4 hours from any standard USB power source, including wall adapters, portable power banks, and vehicle USB ports.
An integrated LED battery indicator displays remaining charge levels through color-coded lights: green for 70-100% capacity, yellow for 30-69%, and red when charging is needed below 30%. This visual feedback helps you plan charging sessions and avoid unexpected power loss during critical work.

Common Questions About the NEBO Swyvel
The NEBO Swyvel provides up to 20 hours of continuous runtime on low mode (100 lumens), approximately 6 hours on medium mode (500 lumens), and 2.5 hours on high mode (1000 lumens). Actual runtime varies based on ambient temperature and battery age, but the integrated battery indicator keeps you informed of remaining charge. We recommend charging after each major project to ensure the light is ready when you need it.
Yes, the Swyvel features a reinforced magnetic array specifically designed to hold securely on vertical metal surfaces at any rotation angle. The magnet provides approximately 15 pounds of holding force, which easily supports the light’s 7.2-ounce weight even when the head is fully extended. It adheres to ferrous metals including steel toolboxes, vehicle frames, machinery, and structural steel beams.
Yes, the Swyvel supports pass-through charging, meaning you can operate the light while connected to USB-C power. This feature is particularly useful for extended work sessions or when you need continuous lighting beyond the battery’s normal runtime. The light will charge more slowly during use, and charging times increase if you’re running the light on high mode while connected to power.
The IP67 rating certifies that the Swyvel is completely dust-tight and can withstand water immersion up to 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) for 30 minutes without water entering the housing. This means the light can handle rain, accidental drops in puddles, and washing with a hose, but it’s not designed for prolonged underwater use or diving applications. Always ensure the USB charging port cover is fully closed when exposing the light to water.
Press and release the single power button to turn the Swyvel on to high mode (1000 lumens). Each subsequent press cycles through the modes in this order: medium (500 lumens), low (100 lumens), emergency strobe, and off. The light remembers your last-used mode and will turn on to that setting the next time you use it. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds from any mode to turn the light off immediately without cycling through remaining modes.
The Swyvel head uses a friction pivot mechanism that holds firmly at any angle through the 180° rotation range but allows repositioning with moderate hand pressure. While it doesn’t have a separate locking mechanism, the friction is calibrated to resist movement from vibration or typical handling while remaining easy enough to adjust with one hand. The head will maintain its position reliably during normal use and won’t drift or sag over time.
The Swyvel uses a high-efficiency CREE LED array rated for 50,000+ hours of operation—significantly longer than the typical service life of the light. The LED is permanently integrated into the reflector assembly and is not user-replaceable, but it’s covered under our limited lifetime warranty against failure. The 50,000-hour rating means you could run the light continuously for over 5.7 years before reaching the rated LED lifespan.
