How Philips’ Xperion 6000 ticked Auto Express’ boxes

A recent addition to Philips’ range of professional worklamps, the Xperion 6000 Under Bonnet light, has just finished on top of Auto Express’ test for workshop lights of this type. Richard Armstrong, Lumileds UK and Ireland country manager, gives you the lowdown of this award-winning light:

The Xperion 6000 saw off competition, with Auto Express remarking that “the Philips has several design tweaks that give it a performance edge”, “it ticks just about all of our boxes” and “the performance advantages make it a good choice for regular users.”

The Xperion 6000 Under Bonnet light outperformed its rivals in most areas, with particular mention of its 1,200 lumens LED strip with rotary control that allows the brightness to be dimmed and adjusted to the ideal level for the task.

The telescoping light can extend 208cm with both sides extended, and the light unit can slide along almost the entire length, so that light can be accurately directed across an engine bay, or any other area, without having to change the lamp angle.

Also mentioned were its proximity sensor that detects activity within a 2.5m radius. This allows the light to automatically turn on or off for maximum battery-life and ease of operation.

The Philips Xperion 6000 Under Bonnet work light delivers 5,800 Kelvin bright white light. It features a battery status indicator to show remaining power and includes an ‘eco’ mode in which the light can operate continuously for more than half-a-day, which was, again, a “clear performance advantage” over its rivals.

Built for professionals and the rigours of workshop life

Automotive workshop life has its fair share of bumps and scrapes – tools are dropped, liquids are spilled and overflow, so tools must be durable!

As with all lights in the Xperion 6000 range, the Philips Xperion 6000 Under Bonnet work light comes with internationally recognised impact and ingress protection. With its aluminium housing, the Philips Xperion 6000 Under Bonnet Light offers IK07 impact protection and IP54 resistance to splashes and dust. For peace of mind, the lamp features a Philips two-year warranty that can be extended for an additional year.

The Philips Xperion 6000 range includes flood lights – one of which allows users to listen to music from their phone – wands, handhelds, slim-lights, and flexilights – 11 professional work lamps in total, as well as two smart accessories, which are a charging station and find-my-light system.
