Description

Milwaukee 49-24-0146 M12 12-Volt LED Work Light The Milwaukee M12 12-Volt LED Work Light provides a bright and smooth beam of light that helps improve visibility in dark, enclosed spaces. Also, it's durable enough to survive heavy-duty jobsites, it's easy to carry, and it's cordless. Complete with a 90-degree rotating head for quick positioning, the LED Work Light provides light exactly where you need it most.Heavy Duty to Provide Bright Light and Extended Life The LED Work Light offers many advantages over non-LED lights. First, it features a sealed aluminum head that's both impact- and weather-resistant. And unlike lights that use an incandescent bulb with filaments that break easily, the LED Work Light has an LED that's enclosed, protected, and free of vulnerable filaments.Additionally, the LED Work Light's 160 Lumen Cree XRE LED is more than two times brighter than incandescent bulbs, offers up to 625 times more life, and runs cooler for double the runtime. When compared to the competition, it emerges as the winner by shining five times brighter, providing a truer white color, and a smoother beam for both near and far illumination.The LED Work Light includes a magnetic back for hands-free use and a rotating head for effortless positioning, so the light goes exactly where you want it to go. For added peace of mind, it comes with a limited lifetime LED warranty. M12 Lithium-Ion Power: Compact, Lightweight, and Dependable Cordless power frees you from the cost and waste of disposable batteries and the hassle of setting up and using manual tools, but a cordless tool is only as reliable as its battery--that's where M12 LITHIUM-ION batteries come in. You can trust the 1.4-amp-hour lithium-ion battery that powers each Milwaukee M12 tool to deliver long runtimes and fade- free power. Lithium-ion batteries will also offer long battery life, so you'll save money by avoiding replacements.Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than competitive NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in making Milwaukee's compact M12 tools ergonomic, comfortable to use, and easy to maneuver while you work.Plus the M12 LITHIUM- ION battery charger delivers fast, 30-minute recharges, so you can be sure that your tools will be ready to use when you reach for them.M12 Series Tools: Innovative, Portable, and Easy to Handle Launched in 2008, the M12 series from Milwaukee offers compact, lightweight tools that are easy to transport and easy to maneuver on the job. Innovative designs that target application- and trade-specific performance allow M12 tools to live up to Milwaukee's reputation for durability and heavy-duty construction while remaining smaller, easier to handle, and more versatile than many competitors' tools. About the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation In 1924 Milwaukee Electric Tool introduced the Hole-Shooter, the first lightweight, portable, one-handed 1/4-inch capacity drill, and the company has been dedicated to producing innovative, heavy-duty electric power tools that meet the needs of professional users ever since.Milwaukee's product line has grown to include more than 500 tools and over 3,500 accessories. Milwaukee uses state-of-the-art technologies and sophisticated manufacturing techniques to ensure that quality is built into each of its tools, resulting in durable and reliable professional products.Warranty This product is backed by a one-year warranty that protects against defects in materials or workmanship. M12 LITHIUM-ION batteries are backed by a two-year battery warranty.What's in the Box Work light, warranty card, and manual.

  • My best flashlight at work
It’s quite bright, but spreads the light out evenly so you can see perfectly over a good spread. The head is sturdy aluminum and the red plastic parts are tough and solid too. There is no remaining battery meter, but the light itself gets dimmer when the battery is low. The magnet is too small and weak to be useful often, but it is there when you really need it. The m12 battery means this flashlight works well in my workflow. This is the flashlight I reach for most often. ... show more

  • Great M12 LED light
It lasts a long time and is a very bright flood light. I take it camping or anywhere I want serious flood light (for flashlight size anyway). Normally I keep it mounted to the inside of a steel trailer, so at night it's the first thing I go for entering the dark interior. It lights up the interior like stadium lighting. Of course, the magnet is what keeps it stuck to the steel wall of the trailer, but it could be stronger so it doesn't fall off driving on the road. The one power switch is on the same side as the magnet which makes it a bit awkward turning on/off. Otherwise, what a great light and I highly recommend it. Also have M12 right angle drill and Hackzall with extended LiIon battery--love'em all! Great kit. Good on Milwaukee. Now, if it could just make all this in America. Update 6/1/2014 So far I have purchased five of these lights. I just bought another last week. I'm not gentle with any of them, so I'm not sure why others complain about dimming or dim after dropping. I've dropped my many times although I'm not dropping mine repeatedly 6-feet onto a concrete garage floor either. If you're going to drop the light a lot, maybe buy something that's meant to be dropped like this or take better care. After using mine for years, the light works like the day I bought it. Literally, I'll leave the light on lighting up an entire work area for hours until the light goes out. Sometimes two or more lights...they're that bright and don't give off the heat like a 500 watt halogen light. The only negative things I have to say about these lights is the magnet is pretty weak for what it's supposed to do and the angling head is a bit sloppy especially after repeated use now. I haven't tried to tighten it as it still works ok. One person said a screw came loose inside. Well, none of mine rattle, so I'm not taking it apart. As for the magnets, really two magnets are needed (one toward the back to support the battery), otherwise, it never stays put and can fall off of metal things like EMT (conduit) fairly easily. But if you're smart and careful about placing the light, it'll provide a lot of light for a long time. In fact, my M18 Flood Light I just bought burned through its battery on low before this M12 when out. In my experience so far, the M18 Flood Light puts out a lot more light--especially on high--but doesn't seem to last as long. Furthermore the M12 light is more focused like a spotlight compared to the M18 Flood. Yet this M12 is much more a flood than spot in my opinion. Great light that'll surprise and delight first time users. Of course the M18 Flood Light has a battery gauge whereas the M12 LED light does not. Bottom-line is these M12 lights are great but understand the magnet feature and tilting head fall a bit short of the spectacular illumination itself. The fact the light is made out of plastic doesn't bother me one bit. I've dropped them many times and have zero problems. In addition, I have so much M12 gear these are great to share batteries and wonderfully light up work areas. Like I said, take them camping, use in garage, etc. always I have one handy. So far I find no compelling reason not to highly recommend these lights or any M12/M18 tool to folks. In fact, I have four and just bought another. ... show more

  • Very functional
It's plastic. It's light. It's not bright. But, I like it. It's very functional. The adjustable angle is nice, and with a larger M12 battery it stands stable on its own. The beam is consistent. I think I like that it isn't TOO bright, because I don't need the bat signal in my eyes just before I go to bed. It sips on the M12 batteries. For camping this will be my go-to flashlight from now on. ... show more

  • Nice, but not that bright, light.
I have a love/hate relationship with flashlights. The ones I like, I lose, and the ones I hate never seem to work right. So after spending a lot of money and frustration over the years, I came to the conclusion that I would only buy flashlights that met these needs: 1. Price. Price is king here, yes, I could spend a lot of money and get a flashlight that is simply awesome, but when (Not if!) I lose it, then I will be out a lot of money. 2. Size. I am intrigued by the smaller, pen-style flashlights. I have several of the 18650 (Or 3 "aaa" battery) flashlights. And I like them a lot, they are cheap, small, bright, and rechargeable. But they are small. So I drop them, and lose them. So I need something that is big enough that if it falls into tall grass, or an attic in insulation, or an engine compartment, I can find it. Being red also helps a lot here as it stands out more than a regular black flashlight. 3. Rechargeable. I used to have a very nice Mag light. The kind that had something like 6 "D" batteries. I didn't lose it, but it stopped working. Take a guess why. Left the batteries in it, and they leaked all over which corroded the aluminum body, wrecking a very nice flashlight. Also, it never fails that when I go to use a flashlight, the batteries are always dead. And sometimes, you don't have any light (Hence the need for the flashlight) so trying to find batteries in the dark is best left to those equipped with night vision goggles. 4. Quality. I've found sometimes, you can get great quality and not pay much for it. After buying a lot of things, I can tell you without a doubt that you get what you pay for with flashlights (And drill bits). As such, I only buy name-brand flashlights now. They cost more, but they have a better chance of working when I need them. 5. Stability. It seems that the world has decided that flashlights should have a small base, or a button so they tip over. And then, they should be a cylinder so that after they tip over, they roll away. I'm convinced that someone that decided that has never worked under a car! This ticks all the boxes here. Is it super bright? No, not by quite a bit, think of a cheap 2 or 3-cell unit. But that's fine for what I need, more than enough light to shine on the floor to see where you're going, around the room to find fuses in the dark, or in the engine compartment to find the sensor buried under the intake manifold. It's rechargeable and takes the ubiquitous M12 batteries, so even if you don't have the M12 charger and batteries, you can buy knock off ones very cheap. It is not a very expensive flashlight, it is big enough I won't lose it, and amazingly, it doesn't want to tip over because of the low center of gravity from the battery pack, and even if you do tip it over, it stays next to you like a good dog will. It has an adjustable head also, which is nice because if you need to illuminate something that you simply can't get the flashlight positioned directly under/over, you can get the flashlight as close as you can and then angle the head to get the light where you want it. ... show more
