The product, in the report: Southwire 2000 Lumen LED Rechargeable Work Light.
The product is a portable LED work light from Southwire (AL20RSW). The product burned a hole in my carpet. I was using the light in my attic. When I was done, I placed the light face down on the floor while I was putting away my ladder. I put it face down because the light is bright. I noticed a smell and saw smoke coming from the light area. I grabbed the light and saw a hole burnt into my carpet. I thought the bars on the front would prevent this from happening. The carpet is very thin and was not contacting the lens. I was using the highest setting. I notified Southwire through Lowes. They asked me to send the product to them and I did so but they stopped communicating after a while. I have received no compensation for the light or my carpet.
