MakitaDML805 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless/Corded 20 L.E.D. Flood Light, Only

This is great. You can plug it in or use on battery power. Doesn't charge the battery, but gives you a whole lot more running room and justifies the insanely high price. It gives you the ability to bring really decent light to anywhere for a long time. If you've ever tried painting or working in rooms with the power off, you know what a pain it can be to run extension cords. Being able to just pick up and move is great.It's Durable, have dropped it a couple times with no impact on performance. Try that with a Halogen light!Puts out a fantastic bright light, or a slightly dimmer light, great for not being blinded and draining the battery.Has an attachment to screw on to a standard light stand.The price is ridiculous. If you have the Makita tools though, you're probably used to paying a premium for nice tools that work with the same set of batteries. This is so versatile, it's hard not to get your money's worth even at this price

Exactly what I wanted. Lightweight, works plugged in or can use the same makita LXT batteries as my impact and drill. Very convenient. seems tough enough to bang around a job box or truck bed without crumbling. Not the brightest light in the world but definitely works well enough to get something done in the dark. I used it for a couple hours on a half-drained battery with no issues at all. manual says you can get 8-10 hours of operation on low setting, depending on your battery size. has hooks to wind up the cord, which is nice. The back opens up to a compartment that holds the battery, and maybe a good hiding spot for a couple of joints.

Fantastic lights, small, lightweight and plenty of output for most indoor work in a household size environment. I use these for apartment remodelling, should have bought 4 when they were only $75/ea. Bought two more even though the price has gone up to $95+. Instant on, multiple brightness settings and unlike the damn halogens I've been using for years they don't turn the bedroom you're painting into a sauna and burn you every third time you pick them up to move them. Also, since they're LEDs presumably I won't have to change the bulb in them ever, which is a big improvement over a couple times a year.Only complaint so far is that I've gotten used using the batteries to power these, and the cord handling isn't too good, so fairly often the cord ends up dragging on the ground and has to be re-wound. A minor issue though, overall my only real complaint is that I didn't buy these years ago.

Pros: Bright, weather resistant and well made overall. The light pattern is a well dispersed flood. Versatile in that it can used corded or cordless. A bit bulky, but easy to handle and not too heavy. The LEDs run cool - much less hazardous than halogen. The cord is reasonably flexible, unlike some cheap lights. The angle adjustment is solid and easy to use.Cons: Don't expect the light output of a high wattage halogen. In lumens, this is closer to the output of a good 60w bulb, although more effectively magnified and spread by a quality reflector. At 120v on high, my Kill-A-Watt meter shows a usage of about 11 watts and about half that on low. Still, it's bright enough to be painful if you look directly at the LEDs. If you need the versatility of a battery powered light with decent run time, it's a fair trade off. If you need a portable sun, buy a big halogen. The battery latch is a bit clunky, but it won't come open by accident, and the battery compartment is nicely sealed with a silicone gasket. The lens is large piece of plastic that seems vulnerable to getting scratched - a snap-on cover would be nice. I've found that Makita often incorporates small design flaws in otherwise nice tools, this one is no exception: The built in cord hooks aren't long enough to contain the entire cord, and the plug has no clip to attach back to the cord, so it flops around and unwinds. Just dumb.Makita makes a big deal about the 3 year warranty on many of its other 18v tools - but they avoid mentioning the warranty term entirely in the product description for this light - you have to request that information. That's because this has a 1 YEAR WARRANTY. I consider not publishing that information in the description to be deliberately sneaky and deceptive. This is a premium priced product, excessively so I think, and it should be covered for the same 3 years as the other 18v tools.And speaking of price, beware of Amazon's ever changing prices. I bought this for $105 minus the holiday discount - I see today that the price is $117. I've generally found Amazon to be outstanding in terms of customer service, but the "dynamic pricing" policy is creepy and exceedingly consumer unfriendly. If I wanted the casino experience I'd visit one, fully aware the the odds are always in favor of the house. Amazon should rethink their slot machine pricing and just stick to a fair and competitive price. This policy just alienates the same customers they otherwise try very hard to please.

Provides a lot of light. Uses one 18V Makita battery or you can plug it in. I have many Makita 18V & 36V tools & batteries, so this was a no brainer. I think the price should be lower, but to be able to use batteries I already have makes it worthwhile. Weighs almost nothing and appears to be solidly constructed. Thinking about buying second one if that says anything.

Amazing little worklight. Has both corded and battery power feeds. When installed, the battery is conveniently hidden behind part of the product’s “shell” which is very useful when on a job site since it is easy to otherwise knock out batteries if the product is being handled roughly on a job site.Though the product is made out of plastic, it is very robust. It also has a center-balanced design which makes it easier to set the light in places such as on joists, 2x4s, and ledges without worrying about it falling with the slightest breeze.The light output is great, however I’m more impressed with the beam angle. This light throws even light at a very wide angle and can easily light up an entire 15x20ft room enough to work.Fairly certain that this product is no longer carried in the US, but is still sold in Canada. Get one while you still can!
