Makita DML801 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 12 L.E.D. Flashlight, Flashlight Only, Black

I love my Makita 18v battery tools. Good LED Light I use for light construction work. Lights up 10’x10’ rooms with ease.

One of the most useful tool. I work nights use it all the time. Very bright and works great.

Don’t need a cord, and a lot of light. That hook is the cherry on the cake :)

I use this light a whole bunch. Very bright, even the low setting provides enough light for most household tasks. The small 1.5 amp batteries work well on this light and keep it light and maneuverable. The larger 5 amp batteries provide what seems like a weeks with of non continuous light and a more solid base. The hook works as designed but I found myself not using the included hanging strap. The wife and kids also use this light a lot and I’ll probably buy another one or two to keep in different parts of the house. Great light over all. I use it far more then I expected to.

This is my standby light for power outagesl

Awesome! I left the light on for 4 or 5 hours with all 12 bulbs glowing while working on my truck. The battery was either my 3.0 or 4.0 and had already been used for many tasks over the last month without a charge. The light went out about 15 minutes before I was done. If the battery was fully charged it would have kept the light on for much longer.

Overall, a nice light. An irritation is the on/off switch for three reasons. First, its hard to feel just where the switch is on the back of the light, second, it takes three pushes to turn off. High, low and off being the third. lastly, it seems if the switch were on the front of the handle, it would be much more intuitive.

I have one for my woodshop. It is GREAT for a raking light to see dings and swirls in the wood and issues in the finish when sanding and finishing as the light lays flat on its side and you can walk it down the surface. Worth it just for that purpose alone. I bought another one for the downstairs and one for my bedroom as it is a GREAT work light for things like reading labels and small print, trimming nails, finding the thingamabob that you dropped on the floor, cleaning the filters in the stove and fridge, cleaning in dark corners, going outside to find something in the car. It is so bright and lights up so much area that it makes even very bright flashlights seem useless. The only negative is trying to figure out where the switch is on the thing. If you already have the batteries, buy one (or more!)

I use it a lot for my Plumbing and Heating repairs in dark places. LED lights do not drain the battery that fast, so a few hours of work is not a problem with any of the 18 volt batteries. If you want something to light up a large area, like under the hood of a car while working on a wide range, then this is not enough lumens.

Good product but not as bright as I hoped it would be.
