Makita DML805/2 Cordless/ 240V Worklight - Battery And Charger Not Included

Product Information

Extreme Protection Technology (XPT ) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions As a guide, around 600 lumens will normally be enough to illuminate a smaller area or space, like a shed or work room. In larger areas, 2000 + lumens will be required. Rechargeable batteries don’t always have a good run time, but the FLOWood 10W USB Portable LED Work Light achieves approximately 5 – 8 hours from full charge, making it useful for an array of jobs. Whether doing DIY, construction work, or hobby-based activities, it can make a big difference to have the space brightly illuminated.

If you want the flexibility of using your work light anywhere – on outdoor adventures like camping as well as around the home – buying a battery-powered LED light is probably a no brainer. You just need to make sure that the light’s battery life is sufficient for what you need. Work lights are bright, often making use of LEDs, and can be powerful without being overly large. They make it possible to easily continue work after dark. However, there are some limitations as to where this LED work light can be placed because it only has a 2-metre power cable. It relies on mains power and is therefore not a truly portable work light. Although it can be paired with an extension cable, this can be an inconvenient solution when trying to avoid trailing wires in low-level lighting. The charging time of work lights can vary, and is somewhat based on the run time of the work light. A longer running time is all well and good, but it can really increase the amount of time needed for charging.If you’ll need to frequently reposition your work light, to work on different areas or do different jobs, a portable light will make this easier. Having a freestanding work light is often better for larger, open spaces. A freestanding light can be better used to light the whole area. Additional Features Whilst many battery-powered tools are both convenient and inconvenient in equal measure, this Makita DML805/2 LED Work Light can run off either battery or mains power, making it useful in many different situations. And hybrid lights combine the benefits of the other two styles, but are often more expensive on account of their more complicated design. Overall, this is the best LED work light if you want a versatile option with good battery life. Not only does it work as a powerful, small lamp, but it can also be used as an emergency charger if necessary.

As there’s no IP rating, they aren’t protected against dust or moisture, which is another reason why they may not suit professional use. They can also get quite hot, so adjusting them once they’ve been on for a while won’t be possible. This portable work light takes standard Makita 18 V batteries, which are interchangeable with other Makita tools. When used with a 5.0 Ah battery, it can achieve approximately 8 hours running time, and the work light is exceptionally bright.A longer battery run time can often drive up the price of the work light. Therefore, you want to find a good middle ground between required run time and price.
