Innovation Alert: COB Technology
COB (chip-on-board) technology is one of the latest and greatest advancements in LEDs. This efficient design allows for more diodes to fit on LED chips, which means your lighted promos will deliver about twice the lumens (aka double the illumination) for the same price. Plus, they’ll have a wider range of visibility and longer battery life.
Not only is COB technology great for flashlights, it also allows larger tools like work lights and lanterns to utilize LEDs as well. With older light models, you risk running into overheating and inefficient lighting. Thanks to COB technology from Zipline, this won’t ever be a problem for you or your clients.
When there’s a task at hand, work lights are the flashlight you’ll want to have around. These powerful promos are designed with hands-on tasks in mind – end-users won’t have to sacrifice half their mobility to light their field of vision. Instead, work lights have handy magnets and hooks included in their design to easily clip or hang them near the project, and can be positioned to illuminate the entire work area.
Because of their benefits for workers who need to use their hands, work lights make great gifts for:
- Plumbers
- Carpenters
- Home inspectors
- Do-it-yourselfers
- Boaters
- Car mechanics

But don’t let that scare you: There are plenty of cost-effective options for smaller budgets, making them a great sell to clients of all sizes.
Because of their large illumination area, these brilliant promos are ideal pitches for:
- Campers
- Local scout groups
