The DWST98280 is a 25-inch magnetic LED strip light designed for DEWALT's Workshop Storage System. It mounts instantly to any steel surface — including DEWALT welded wall cabinets and tool storage — via a magnetic backing and delivers up to 300 lumens of task lighting. An included 4.9-foot corded cable with eight cord clips keeps the installation neat and organized.
Does the DWST98280 require batteries or a power outlet?
The DWST98280 is a corded LED strip light that plugs into a standard power outlet via its 4.9-foot cable. No batteries are required.
Will the DWST98280 stick to any surface?
The DWST98280 uses a magnetic backing, so it adheres only to ferromagnetic steel surfaces. It is specifically designed for DEWALT welded wall cabinets and steel tool storage. It will not mount magnetically to aluminum, wood, or drywall surfaces.
How bright is 300 lumens for workshop use?
300 lumens is suitable for localized task lighting — illuminating the interior of a tool cabinet, a workbench area, or under-shelf lighting in a workshop. For general room lighting, multiple strips or a higher-output work light would be needed.
Is the DWST98280 part of the TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 system?
No. The DWST98280 is part of DEWALT's Workshop Storage System — a separate line of welded wall cabinets and stationary storage accessories — rather than the portable TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 modular system.
Can I daisy-chain multiple DWST98280 strip lights together?
DEWALT does not specify daisy-chain capability for the DWST98280 in its product documentation. Each unit connects independently to a power outlet. For longer coverage, multiple individual strips can be mounted side by side using their magnetic backing.
