Pros

High and low beam and its light and small. Wish there was more of a difference between the bright and dim modes. This light is very bright it kicks *!

It works perfect. The tripod is basic rubbish, but it works. Also bought the tripod stand. Weighs almost nothing and appears to be solidly constructed.

Using two lights outside at night makes the work area just about as good as daylight. The light works both plugged in or portable with an 18v battery.



Cons

This light is about as bright as the engineers who designed this cumbersome monstrosity. Even ryobi and ridgid are far outdoing you in this department.

Everything makita tout as a positive on this light is just absolutely silly and counterintuitive. Anti-glare oh where to begin.

Quality


Great product, bought 10, so far so good.

Competitiveness


It's a very well built heavy-duty light.


I have primarily makita 18v tools and this fit in right with them.

The light works both plugged in or portable with an 18v battery and provides a ton of light.

    It would be nice if the light had a built in battery charger so the battery could charge as the light is being used on 110v

    This would be something that other manufacturers dont have


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The angle brackets at the bottom of the unit broke only the right side as you are looking at the face of the light so i had to tape it because i cant find a replacement part


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wrote to amazon but no luck there either

    It would be great if the manufacturer or a makita service center near columbus ohio could contact me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i end up using the brightest setting then the dim setting is just a useless thing i end up cycling through when turning it off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Knocking off a star because it always takes two presses of the button to turn off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I just cut the cord right off it got tangled and in the way too much
