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

Product Information

As well as being useful for DIY, these are some of the best LED work lights for hobbyists as they’re suitable for a range of different applications, from plastering and painting to photography. Keep an eye on this in the product specifications – some lights have a charging time of around five hours, something that you might decide is just too inconvenient. Portable vs Freestanding

And hybrid lights combine the benefits of the other two styles, but are often more expensive on account of their more complicated design. The best battery-powered work light for professional use will have a running time of around eight hours . This should last for the majority of a night shift. For home use, or outdoor leisure activities, five hours will usually suffice. One of my top tips is to look for batteries that are interchangeable with other tools you already own . This will save you from carrying and buying lots of different batteries. Whilst the overall function of this work light is excellent – based on its power, battery life and versatility – there are a few problems with its design as well. Compatible Batteries: BL1415, BL1415N, BL1430, BL1440, BL1450, BL1815, BL1815N, BL1820, BL1830, BL1840 & BL1850 Work lights can be portable, with or without handles that can be used for hanging, or freestanding – with a tripod or stand that will allow them to be set up anywhere.TheMakita DML805 is a robust work light with 2-mode operation.It can be powered by either an AC 240V cord or Makita 14.4V/18V Batteries, making it perfect no matter where you are.Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions. DML805 Features: With 60 LEDs, it can produce up to 5000 lumens of white light when set to high power. This is sufficient to adequately light a garage, or floodlight a reasonable area outside. Even on its low-power setting, of 2500 lumens, there is sufficient light to work on less-intricate jobs.

For use around the home, a mains-powered work light will give the reassurance of not running out at a crucial moment. Be aware that cables can be a hazard, and this can be even more relevant if you need to use an extension. Battery CapacityExtreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions 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. 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. The LED work light can be swivelled through 360° on its vertical axis, and 180° on the horizontal axis, making it simple to angle as required. Overall, the lamp can cast at a 120° beam angle, covering a large percentage of area inside sheds and garages. This work light can be rotated through 360°, as well as tilted, and casts light at an angle of 120°. The angle adjustments are made by simply unscrewing and retightening a couple of thumb screws.

No battery or charger come included, but, as mentioned, this work light can also be powered off the mains. This may be necessary because there’s no battery available, the battery has run out, or battery life needs to be conserved, and it’s a useful and functional feature. 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.

The new Makita DML805 LED work-light will run on 240v mains power or 14.4v and18v Lithium-ion batteries from the Makita range. The twenty 0.5watt LED s provide a bright and even light and there is a full beam and low level setting on the simple push button control. This work light is IP65 rated, meaning it is water resistant. This is useful when working outside, although it should be noted that the rating only refers to the lamp – not the plug (as always, electricity and water don’t mix). With such a short power cable, if there is moisture near the work light there will likely be moisture near the plug as well which somewhat negates the benefits.
