## Description

From the manufacturer Makita DML815 14.4/18V Li-ion LXT LED Torch – Batteries and Charger Not Included The DML815 LED Torch is a compact and lightweight, high luminance, 4 x 0.5W LED flashlight, providing 160 lumens, powered by 14.4V or 18V Li-ion LXT slide type battery (not included). The DML815 is equipped with a 12 position pivoting head with positive stops from 0 degrees to 170 degrees and a metal strap hook for added convenience and durability when on the job site. The LED provides a sharp, round spot light with multi-faceted reflector to control the direction and spread of the light. The DML815 is capable of up to 54 hours of illumination when used with a BL1860B 18V 6.0 Ah battery (not included). The DML815 is not compatible with G-Series batteries.

Review: Great little light if you already have LXT batteries - Perfect form factor for working under my car. Works great as a spotlight, but without being too bright (most of the lights I have are useless as they are too strong and just end up being blinded by reflected light)... this is slightly less powerful with a hint of yellow tinge, but very very visible. The head adjusts to almost 180 fore/aft. Given it has an LXT battery on the base it stands well, and its not too bulky. I was trying to see inside something when lying under the car and I could easily position it so my hands were free to do work. It also has a hanger hook/loop which is useful. Id prefer that to be a bit stiffer otherwise it just spins around but I guess OK for hanging up for a bit of general lighting. For the price... this is a bargain well designed work light if you already have makita battery/charger.
Review: Top tools! - Fast posting, well packaged, item is typically Makita really tough well made tools, new 18v battery on it not super bright but perfect for everyday loading unloading etc in the dark, probably not enough as a work light, but would work well for emergency jobs, lasts for ages, wouldn’t be without it now! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
