DiversiTech 111112 Clipstrip is a compact 140-lumen LED pocket light with a pivoting magnetic clip for true hands-free work. Built for HVAC service techs who need reliable light in tight spots—on roofs, in plantrooms, under houses—this little unit is IPX5 water-resistant and runs up to 12 hours on 3×AAA. Bloody handy, no dramas.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- Pivoting magnetic clip — snap it to ductwork or the condensing unit and aim the beam where you’re working, keeping both hands free for tools.
- 140-lumen output — bright, even light for inspecting coils, terminations and leaks without eye strain.
- Up to 12 hrs runtime — get through call-outs and maintenance runs without swapping cells every hour.
- IPX5 water-resistant — rated for heavy rain; ideal for storm call-outs and outdoor units.
- 3×AAA (included) — standard batteries mean easy spares on site and simple, low-cost upkeep.
- Pocket-size & lightweight — 6.2″ × 1″ × 0.7″; slips into your shirt pocket or bag and won’t weigh you down.
Why This Product Matters
On a steamy Brisbane arvo, you’re tracing a nuisance trip on a rooftop condensing unit. Clip the Clipstrip onto the fan guard, pivot the head to the terminal block and you’ve got steady light while you meter and tighten—too easy.

Pro Tip
To avoid glare when checking shiny copper or stainless, pivot the clip 15–30° off-axis. And keep a spare set of AAA cells in the van—she’ll be right if the shift runs long.
Compatibility & System Info
