The same lamp with one level, seven dollars less
WILAWELS 18 W, 2000 lm, one level
The single-level version of this shelf’s mains lamp: 2000 lumens, a socket in the base, no switching.
What you are getting
A corded 18 W COB work light at 2000 lumens, single level; a 15-foot 16AWG/3C SJTW cord rated −40 °F to 140 °F; handheld, attached and hangable use with a 360° rotating hook and a top folding hook; a grounded outlet at the base so it doubles as an extension lead; a raised-texture handle and rubber side pads. ETL Listed. 345 × 61 × 53 mm (13.6 × 2.40 × 2.09 in). $32.99.
It is the same lamp as the Y05WL06 without the second level

Seven dollars separates them, and what the money buys is 1000 lumens and a switch.
Which matters more depends on where the lamp lives. In a bay, up close, 2000 lumens from a COB strip is already a lot — the brighter lamp’s useful setting is its 1500 lm low, which is below this one. Under a car on a creeper, where the light is further from the work, the 3000 lm setting earns its money.
So this is not simply the cheap one. It is the one with no setting to get wrong, at a lumen figure that sits between the other lamp’s two.
“The work light includes a 18W COB LED light that produces a powerful 2000LM output. The COB technology ensures even and soft light.”

COB — chip on board — is the construction, and “even and soft” is a fair description of it: many small emitters behind one diffuser, which gives a broad wash rather than a hot spot. It is the right source for an engine bay and the wrong one for looking down a spark plug well, which is what the published LINKAX lamp’s 1 W, 80 lm torch beam is for.
And it has the socket in the base, like its twin
“The work light includes a 15-foot power cord and a grounded outlet at the bottom for easy connection to other devices. It can function not only as a work light but also as an extension cord.”
Of the nine lamps on this shelf, the two WILAWELS are the only ones with a socket. It is the feature to buy this shelf for if the garage has one outlet in the wrong corner.
The cord specification is the same, and it is the best on this shelf
“a waterproof and durable 16AWG/3C SJTW cord, allowing for reliable operation in temperatures ranging from −40 ℉ to 140 ℉.”
16AWG conductors, three cores so the earth at the socket is real, SJTW — service, junior service voltage, thermoplastic, weather and water resistant — and a 100-degree Fahrenheit band on either side of room temperature.
The VEVOR lamp here publishes −20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F), which is −4 to 122 °F: a narrower band, on a battery lamp where the limit is the cell rather than the cord. Nothing else on this shelf publishes a temperature at all.
Three mounting options and one unnamed mechanism
“Handheld, attached and hangable. The handheld option is convenient for carrying, while the attached option provides stable and reliable lighting, eliminating the need for manual operation. The hangable option comes with a 360° rotating hook… and the top folding hook is for space-saving use.”
The same three as its twin, and the same gap: “attached” is never explained. The published Coquimbo, Tolesum and LINKAX lamps all state a magnetic base; this says it attaches to a surface and leaves the mechanism unnamed.
The rubber pads on the sides are the detail that goes with it: a lamp that attaches to a wing or a slam panel rests on paint, and the pads are what stands between the two.
Three hundred and forty-five millimeters, which is the only dimension here
The shipping record gives 345 × 61 × 53 mm (13.6 × 2.40 × 2.09 in) — a 34 cm (13.4 in) bar about 6 cm (2.4 in) across.
Three lamps on this shelf publish a size: this, the published LINKAX pair at 18 × 1.8 cm (7.1 × 0.7 in) and the VEVOR bar at 1,700 mm (66.9 in) extended. The published OSRAM lamp publishes none and sells itself on being “particularly slim”, which the introduction endorses — slim “enough to fit between a wing and an engine, which is where a lamp is usually needed”.
Six centimeters across is not slim. This is a bar to hang or lay, not to post into a gap.
What is not published
No CRI and no color temperature, which the introduction asks for first and which only VEVOR answers here. No IP rating for the body — the cord is called waterproof, and PacoLit is the only lamp here with a published IP66. No beam angle. No magnet. No weight from the maker. No bulb life. No warranty term.
At $32.99 it is the cheaper half of the only pair of mains lamps on this shelf, and its 2000 lumens sits between the other one’s two settings.
