Big Ass Solutions Presents World’s Brightest Battery-Powered LED

Big Ass Light Bar Available For Pre-Orders on Indiegogo 

Big Ass Solutions (the parent company of Big Ass Fans) is building the world’s toughest and brightest battery-powered LED work light, and offering it first through Indiegogo.

The Big Ass Light Bar was built to uncompromising quality standards. Its durable design makes it ideal for hardworking Americans in the toughest, dirtiest jobs, such as mechanics, contractors, truckers, oil rig workers and first responders. Its ability to survive being doused and dropped also makes it the perfect work light for serious outdoor and auto enthusiasts.

Big Ass Light Bar’s features include:

• Six distinct brightness settings, from 80 lumens to 5,000 lumens (more than any other battery- powered LED work )
• A 180-degree light angle, which allows Big Ass Light Bar to light entire
• A high-capacity rechargeable battery that provides 1.5 hours of illumination at the brightest setting to 48 hours at the
• A durable body made from extruded aluminum, as well as high-quality polymers, resins and rubberized components that makes Big Ass Light Bar all but impervious to impact, dust, grime and chemicals.
• An IP66 wet rating, which allows Big Ass Light Bar to be scrubbed and hosed down, or used in the rain.
• A distinct octagonal shape that prevents Big Ass Light Bar from rolling away when

The Big Ass Light Bar was envisioned by Big Ass Solutions employee Keith McKay, who worked as an auto mechanic for seven years before joining the company.

“Task lighting was a constant source of problems in the shop. Typical flashlights and LED wands aren’t bright enough for detailed work, and plug- in work lights have limited mobility and create tripping hazards,” McKay said. “All of them are so cheaply made, they break the first time they get dropped, or when they get covered in dirt and grease.”

McKay and the Big Ass Solutions team chose to bring the product to Indiegogo to gauge interest and solicit feedback from a broad audience. Funds raised through Indiegogo will be used to make any last-minute changes in product design and to jump start production. Big Ass Light Bar is expected to be available early next year.

“Big Ass Solutions is a direct-sales manufacturer, which means we talk to our customers every day. We’re successful because we rely on their feedback to improve our products and create brand new ones,” said Chief Big Ass Carey Smith, founder of Big Ass Solutions. “Indiegogo is a great tool that allows us to fast-track that customer- feedback process, and we’re excited about the possibilities of this partnership for improving idea generation.”

This collaboration is the latest example of how Indiegogo’s Enterprise Crowdfunding service is enabling successful companies from various industries to engage with Indiegogo’s vast audience of early adopters, entrepreneurs and makers to validate and optimize product concepts. Indiegogo’s enterprise services have been used by industry leaders such as Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR), Harman International Industries (NYSE: HAR) and Arrow Electronics (NYSE: ARW) to source and launch innovative products faster and with less risk than ever before.

Big Ass Light Bar will retail for $499 and include a battery, charger and carrying case. Early pre-orders and high-volume orders on Indiegogo will receive discounts of 15 to 45 percent. To back the project and secure a pre-order, visit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/big-ass-light-bar-led–3#/.

About Big Ass Solutions 

Big Ass Solutions’ unique name originated with the massive overhead fans the company perfected to bring comfort and energy savings to enormous industrial buildings. Today, though, Big Ass is much more than industrial—and much more than Big Ass Fans. Big Ass represents quality, form and function to solve  problems in the built environment. So what the heck does that mean? It’s having more than 100 engineers on staff and the world’s only LEED® Gold R&D facility dedicated to testing air movement on a grand scale. It’s speaking to customers directly to understand and solve their problems. But mostly it’s an insatiable drive to improve, engineer, design, test, re-engineer, re-design and re-test each product. And then start over again.
