Light, sound, one thing.
There’s a certain kind of project that happens in a bad-light zone. Garage, basement, under the deck, inside a trailer at dusk — places where you’re squinting at what you’re doing and your phone speaker is working way too hard propped against a paint can.
The Infinity X1 is a worklight and a Bluetooth speaker in one unit, which sounds like a gimmick until you’re actually in those situations and you realize you’d have bought both things separately anyway.
Seven hundred lumens with three brightness settings covers most tasks without blinding you. The magnetic base sticks to metal surfaces, the carabiner hook hangs it anywhere, and the tilt stand lets you aim it without rearranging everything else around you. There’s also an emergency flasher mode and a red night vision mode for when you need something a little more specific than just “bright.”
It recharges over USB, so no battery runs to the hardware store mid-project. And you get two of them, which turns out to be exactly right — one for each end of whatever you’re trying to see.
(Stereo sound works with Android. iOS users still get one speaker’s worth of podcast, which is honestly fine.)
