I love the concept but not the execution. I wish they had regular 18650 rather than the proprietary cell they came up with. Keep up your excellent work!
I bet the cell has a 18650 in it. Milwaukee just wanna make it proprietary by putting a shell on it so they can make more money selling replaceable batteries.
These are great, another big plus is the color, that true view is highly underrated, but it makes a huge difference. Well you are limited to their proprietary batteries, the fact that they're hot swappable is probably my next favorite feature. You just swap out and you can be recharging while you're still working. I have a few of the red lithium usb lights and a couple extra batteries including some 3.0s. I agree they're phenomenal for task lighting.
Big fan , I have one + a spare battery charger/ battery assembly . Like you I probably will buy more ! Found another benifit , the beast rides on the dack of the left hand ,for attic and crawlspace applications ! I used to run a plethora of M12 and M18 work lights , but this little guy supercedes most of them !
I have a few different ones as well. These particular lights are our favorites though. They are easy to transport and fit into places where some of our other lights will not.
Had this light for about a year now, really works great for doing HVAC work in drop ceilings. If i'm running it on the Medium brightness it will last through the first half of the day, recharge during lunch, and be ready to go for the 2nd half of the day. Have you done a review of any Zebralight headlamps...? Those are another great product - something I carry every day in the HVAC trade - love the AA versions of their lights with Eneloop rechargables...can simply carry a spare battery in your pocket, pop out the single, weak battery, and pop in the fresh one and be back working in seconds.
Thanks for the great review. I just bought one and I agree it’s bright and will be very versatile. Quick question can you charge it with a USB adapter attachment using an 18v lithium battery? Just curious if you had any experience with that. Thanks again for the great job!
Have you had battery issues yet? I've had 3 and currently only one is usable, but only has 50% runtime as when new. The actual light works great, I hope they fixed the battery problems
