NEBO Introduces the COLUMBO 400+: The Ultimate Compact Rechargeable Penlight and Area Light
Fort Worth, Texas (May 4, 2026) – Few things are more essential on the job or while on the go in this world of compact convenience than a reliable, small lighting source. Larger lights are immensely helpful, but having a device that can illuminate any situation, large or small, while fitting neatly in a pocket can provide immeasurable value. Whether in a crawl space, working under the hood of a vehicle on the side of the road, or in a dark area while on the move, having a strong, compact, and easy-to-carry flashlight can make all the difference.
This is where the hardworking team at NEBO steps in with their new COLUMBO 400+ rechargeable, waterproof penlight and area light. The COLUMBO 400+ is a powerful 400-lumen, rechargeable penlight that also functions as an expandable area light. It features Flex-Power Technology, which powers the light via a rechargeable battery via USB-C or two AAA batteries for quick emergency use.
The COLUMBO 400+ showcases an impressive eight light modes: four in penlight mode and four in area light mode. In penlight mode, the options include a 400-lumen Turbo setting with a 30-second runtime, a 250-lumen high mode with up to 3.5 hours of runtime, a 25-lumen low mode with up to 8 hours of runtime, and an emergency strobe mode. In area light mode, the COLUMBO 400+ features a 300-lumen Turbo mode for up to 30 seconds, a 150-lumen high setting for up to 3.5 hours, a 15-lumen low setting for up to 8 hours, and an emergency strobe mode.
The COLUMBO 400+ also includes Smart Power Control, Direct-to-Low, a PowerSave lockout mode, and a battery charging indicator. Constructed from durable, anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, it is IPX7-rated waterproof and impact-resistant. The COLUMBO 400+ comes equipped with a powerful magnetic base for hands-free work and a steel clip for secure pocket carry.
