Makita, a manufacturer of power tools and outdoor equipment, has expanded its cordless lighting portfolio with the introduction of two new magnetic work lights designed for construction, maintenance, and industrial applications.
The new models include the 40V Max XGT ML013G and the 18V LXT DML819, both featuring magnetic mounting systems that allow them to be attached to metal surfaces for handsfree operation.
Designed for use in maintenance work and demanding site environments, both lights deliver up to 1,200 lumens and incorporate adjustable LED heads to improve visibility in confined or difficult-to-reach areas.
The company says the products are intended to provide portable lighting solutions for users working on general site tasks, construction machinery, and/or heavy equipment.
Designed for flexibility and extended runtime
The two work lights offer different runtimes depending on battery configuration.
Using a 4.0Ah 40V Max battery, the ML013G provides up to 12 hours of operation on its highest setting, 18 hours on medium, and 29 hours on low.
The DML819, when paired with a 6.0Ah 18V battery, delivers up to nine hours on high, 14 hours on medium, and 22 hours on low.
Both models feature battery warning systems that reduce illuminance when power levels become low.
The lights are equipped with diffused LED heads designed to soften light output and reduce glare. The head rotates up to 300° horizontally and 180° vertically, allowing users to direct light where required.
For transport and storage, the light head can be folded down, automatically switching the unit off and reducing its overall size.
Makita has also highlighted its recently introduced DML817 LED light, which offers three lighting modes and a memory function that restores previous settings when switched on.
The model can be used as a stationary or hanging light and includes a USB output that enables it to function as a portable power bank.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, says, “All [the] new work light additions deliver powerful illumination, impressive runtimes, and versatility.
“They also offer ultimate convenience as they can be moved around easily in the workspace, helping users to stay productive, safe, and efficient from the start of the job through to competition.”
