Makita DML811 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless/Corded Work Light, Light Only

I’m not that impressed with it. For its size and slight bulkiness it should be brighter. I believe I’m gonna send it back. I’m not sure I want to spend 270 on the next model up but I know it’s bulkiness I could deal with for how bright it is. I’m a bit bummed this thing should be brighter. I wanted it as a work light and to shoot videos and I don’t think this light will work for either.

Sturdy and bright we really like these.

I have several other Makita battery powered tools and a couple of corded ones, so when I looked for a battery work light there was no choice, it had to be a Makita for battery compatibility. The reviews on the cheapest model were not real good, and the top model was terribly expensive so I settled on this one, which is very bright (and has three levels of brightness) and a long battery life, four hours or more on high. It also has a cord so it can be plugged into a wall outlet, but I have not used that feature. I have used this both in my workshop and in my house when doing projects and have been impressed with the brightness and the white light color (thankfully not bluish, i hate that).

Has adjustments for brightness. Very durable. Fell off my 6 ladder a few times.

Great Light, fast shipping.

excellent light for the field, very rugged

Really nice light for finishing up projects that run into the darkness, also great for car camping! Should have pulled the trigger on this one much sooner!

My initial impression is high quality but bulky. Im a little concerned the lense could be damaged easily as there is no guarding. However, I found the diffuser gives it some added protection and it helps distribute the light. The versatility of having a battery or power cord option is nice. Id love to see this light have the ability to charge the battery and a USB ports to charge a cell phone on the job. As I was looking for a good place to store the light, I found installing a hook to the wall it makes an amazing light for the work bench. As far as size, its much larger than other work lights. You wont have to worry about this thing getting knocked over. I wouldnt recommend putting this on a tripod especially with a battery. It would be extremely top heavy. It may be hard to see how bright the light is in the photo but it is bright especially if you take it into a large area. It had no problem illuminating a good portion of my backyard. Id definitely recommend buying this light. Hope this helps!

Best light Ive owned for jobsite work. The cord and plug being disconnect-able is a great edition and proves to be holding up well in the cold temperatures we deal with in the winter. Lights up the entire upstairs of large single family homes ( obviously without sheetrock ) on the high setting. 6.0 battery lasts about 8 on high.

Great for indoor renovations in areas where lighting is inadequate. Also great for power outages.
