Makita DML809 18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless/Corded Work Light, Light Only

Pretty good

Just wish the batteries would last longer when its on 10000 lumen mode. And it would be nice if it would charge the batteries when its plugged in. Also it will work with just one battery but will die in half the time

Wish it was a bit lighter or came with a case to be able to quickly grab it when needed

Very Bright, Very Handy, Yes Pricey, BUT.. If your vested in the 18v system and you need a light dont think twice. Even Great for working on vehicles.. Instead of just getting that trouble light in that perfect position just set this light up and your well lite!

lots of light, thats all i can say

Super bright, versatile light - great for painting, lighting up a crawl space or construction. With two batteries it’s heavy, but with that comes stability. I like that you can also plug this light into an outlet. I looked at the 40v version, but you can’t plug it in - it’s battery only. I generally don’t use the light on full power for extended periods so battery life has been good. For me this light has been great.

This light is so damn bright. Easy to use and very well made. 3 light setting for different use. Love it

The Good: VERY bright, easily enough like to work in a room for any type of construction, even painting. Do not, under any circumstances look directly into this light, you will see Jesus and long dead relatives. No really, you will. I plan to take this camping for kicks and giggles if I want to be seen from space. I can easily light up a job or camp on any of the three power settings. The not-so-great: Its big and heavy, with two 5.0 ah batteries its super heavy. Easily the heaviest drop light I have ever seen. Doesnt feel as portable as other LEDs or Halogens I have owned. But, with that said, I guess its a trade off since its far brighter than any LED I know of and a lot cooler than a Halogen light. I would use my 1000 watt Halogens on a tripod to dry painted walls and even heat whole rooms. There is a little heat on high but nothing like my Halogens. I will see what the battery life is but i think mostly I will plug it in. Conclusion: Stupid bright, not hot, heavy and expensive. I wanted the craziest bright job light that runs on the 18v platform and with that Im happy. But the size, weight and price might be a deal killer for some. Youre not gonna hang this off a rafter with a little bit of wire without some effort but then again, leaving this on the floor, its plenty bright still so I would say it requires a little different way of thinking. Im glad I got it, I will never be short on light again. EDIT UPDATE: Took it camping, gawd this thing is obnoxious, I love it. Every time I heard something in the forest, hit the button and POOF! I can see everything in the forest instantly. Figured if I saw a bear I would just blind his ass with this. I didnt want to annoy the people camping around me (say those that were within a quarter mile of me) so I didnt turn it on very often but its the brightest non automotive light I have ever used camping.

Its a strobe light. Turn it half power and you will see flicker when making video or photos. Its heavy. 110v plug an battery operated.

On occasion it will overheat and kick the brightness down. Thank goodness I have 10 batteries it burns through them. All in all its basically portable daylight, I am satisfied.
