Makita DML811 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless/Corded Work Light, Light Only

My initial impression is high quality but bulky. Im a little concerned the lense could be damaged easily as there is no guarding. However, I found the diffuser gives it some added protection and it helps distribute the light. The versatility of having a battery or power cord option is nice. Id love to see this light have the ability to charge the battery and a USB ports to charge a cell phone on the job. As I was looking for a good place to store the light, I found installing a hook to the wall it makes an amazing light for the work bench. As far as size, its much larger than other work lights. You wont have to worry about this thing getting knocked over. I wouldnt recommend putting this on a tripod especially with a battery. It would be extremely top heavy. It may be hard to see how bright the light is in the photo but it is bright especially if you take it into a large area. It had no problem illuminating a good portion of my backyard. Id definitely recommend buying this light. Hope this helps!

Only disappointment was the snap on filter didn’t spread the light more. At least as bright as a 500W halogen.
