This kit is readily available at your local Home Depot store or can be conveniently purchased online at homedepot.com.

          Answer This Question

          Hello Jeff, Thank you for reaching out! The vacuum itself requires electricity to operate, while the LA2536 2-1/2 in. LED Lighted Passthrough Accessory Cuff is powered by three AAA batteries. To use this battery-operated LED cuff, simply click the orange button. You can then attach an accessory to the front end of the cuff where the LED lights are located. If you have additional questions you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

            Is there an adapter to make it fit 1 1/4 size hose on the auto kit? Please make one that fits the auto hose kit. Ty.

            Answer This Question

            BxGreeen, Thank you for your inquiry. Regrettably, we do not offer an adapter that would allow you to connect a larger accessory to a smaller hose, which helps avoid clogging. However, you might consider our LA2570 pro-hose kit, which includes a 1 7/8" hose and is compatible with the accessory you're interested in. This pro hose kit is also available at your local Home Depot stores. You may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com Thank you, RIDGID

                Would be five stars if the button cover stayed in place.
                It's a great little add-on with one little caveat; the button cover popped off and won't go back on. Other than that it really lights up the area one is cleaning around, especially in dark corners or under shelves; that's where the button cover popped off on me why cleaning with a wand. It is, otherwise, a great attachment that makes cleaning so much easier.

                Shine some light on cleaning.
                I love detailing our vehicles. This light pinpoints cleaning like it’s daylight. Paired with ridgid vac and car hose kit + some adapter I have this sucking up any mess my kids throw at it. I can’t comment on battery life but it’s been used many times and has been left on a few hrs at a time still working strong. This light shines where you don't look to find messes. With 8 lights in my garage this still is a must have. Thanks RIDGID for products that speed up cleanup tasks, ultimately giving me more time for other things in life!

                Unique design helps in dim light
                This 2-1/2 inch LED lighted passthrough accessory cuff is a perfect fit for my Ridgid vacuum cleaner hose. The built-in high-intensity LED lights do a great job of lighting up the area being vacuumed, making it especially useful in dimly lit rooms. However, in well-lit spaces, the benefit of the LEDs being several feet from the floor is less noticeable. To improve the design, I’d suggest adding an automatic 30-minute shutoff feature and a Type C charging option.

                Great for illuminating tedious tasks
                I am really pleased at the simplicity of this attachment. I make a lot of cuts on my circular saw which results in dust everywhere. I never realized that I needed a light until I used this as it illuminates the spots I need to vacuum sawdust off of in my garage. It is important to note that this type of attachment comes in several sizes so make sure you check if your shop back model fits the hose size. Fortunately mine does!

                Pretty cool
                This is basically a flashlight for your shop vac. On the hose side there are some built in grooves that allow it to lock onto the hose and on the tool end theirs is a clamp that will lock the tool onto the flashlight. As can be seen in the pictures, the tool didn’t quite lock onto the flashlight. If I really wanted to, I could have forced the tool onto it, but didn’t want to risk it getting stuck. I tried to show in the pictures that it really does eliminate your area. There are 10 LED lights on the end, so it does throw some pretty decent light on the subject. If you need a flashlight on your shop vac, this will do the trick for you.

                A Useful Attachment
                LED attachment comes with the three AAA batteries preinstall so it's ready for immediate use. Looks to be well made and the only moving part is the on/off button. Although made of a harder plastic the round bezel that contains the switch is a grippier material. Light is bright and in a bind if you had nothing else you could actually use it as a flashlight. I don't keep mine on the hose all the time, when not in use it's simply another attachment hanging on my vacuum waiting its turn. The battery compartment which does protrude into the air channel has not caused me any issues. So far has really come in handy in areas that I did not realize I needed it such as vacuuming under my car seats so that I don't accidentally suck up things that I did not realize were under the seat. Useful in areas that are not well illuminated or if you just want extra light in the areas you're vacuuming.

                Worthwhile Vacuum Attachment
                When I first saw this lighted vacuum attachment I was somewhat skeptical that it would give off enough to be useful. After attaching it to my Rigid vacuum I was pleasantly surprised. Since it goes on the end of the hose right behind your various brushes and crevice tools it gives off plenty of light. Since the entire diameter of the light attachment is filled with leds it gives great coverage for seeing under and between seats. The light has a simple on off switch that doesn't get in the way. Now that I have used it several times its a no brainer and makes a mundane job much easier.

                Loved it until the button broke
                I'm actually really bummed out about this shop vac light attachment! I got it out of the package and it worked great, I tested it out and it's so bright with the circumference of lights which I thought would be perfect for cleaning my car especially under the seats where it can be kinda dark and hard to see what your vacuuming up.... Well I joked to my husband and told him heck with the shop vac, I'm going to use this as a flashlight. Next thing you know the button was stuck, I couldn't turned it on and off and my thumb was sore from pushing hard to try to get the button fixed... My husband still can get it to work but it's really hard to push to get it to switch. I didn't even mess with it for 5 minutes before it broke which really stinks. I'm honestly just thinking we got a fluke which is why I'm still giving it 3 stars. Wished I could have at least tested it to vacuum before it broke

                Ridged Shop Vac light accessory
                This Ridged Shop Vac accessory light comes as a simple single item package. It attaches to the vacuum extension tubes and sweeper attachments at the end. It can be attached at the bottom just before the sweeper attachments or further up between the extension tubes. The light is LED running on 2 AA batteries. The actual light is not real bright but seems sufficient for lighting up dark areas. IMO probably not worth the investment in addition to needing to use 2 AA batteries.
