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

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!

Its bright. It can last for hours. Im happy with it. I wish it was a little smaller but its cool. Its like the size of a miniature TV from the 80s.

This is the best worklight ever! Battery powered, electricity powered… you got them both with this. Perfect for job sites , camping, power outages. Tripod for the light is extra and sold separately . 3 light brightness settings, and you can easily lock and unlock what position you want the light . Go get this!!

All makita tools are top shelf. This light is awesome

valuable equipment that does not charge the battery; its absurd

If you use Makita tools, you know how well they work. If you dont, Im still willing to tell you about this light. Because I care. If you need a bright light that lights up an area, get this product. Its bright, casts a lot of light, better than decent battery life, and is a little heavy. I like that. It wont move. I didnt buy their stand. I bought a Coleman lantern stand that goes up to 8 and has a base that you can make wider or more narrow. Plus, less than $50, so theres that.

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

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).

It’s a bit bigger than I expected and the lowest setting is brighter than I was expecting( that has pros and cons). Overall quite bright. Basically limitless angle adjustment. My favorite feature is that it works via wall outlets as well as batteries. Overall i like it very much.

Good
