Makita’s New Work Lights Turn Up the Brightness on Jobsite Efficiency

Makita has expanded its cordless lighting range with the 40VMax XGT^® ML013G and 18V DML819 LXT Magnetic Work Lights. These lights can be attached and fixed to any metal surface with the powerful magnet, providing unparalleled flexibility, for instant, handsfree illumination and can be used when undertaking maintenance work on construction machinery and heavy equipment. Designed to enhance visibility, productivity and jobsite flexibility, both models combine robust construction with advanced LED technology.

The versatile cordless work lights both deliver a maximum luminous flux of 1200 lumens to provide high visibility for maintenance tasks and demanding worksite environments. Developed to maximise efficiency, these lights offer varying runtimes depending on the battery capacity used. When selecting the 4.0Ah 40V Max battery on the ML013G, the run times offer 12 hours of power on the high setting, 18 hours on medium and 29 hours on low. Alternatively, when selecting the 6.0Ah 18V battery on the DML819, this delivers 9 hours of continuous operation on high, 14 hours on medium and 22 hours on low. Both lights provide a warning when the battery is running low, indicated by a reduction in illuminance.

Both Makita work lights are equipped with a LED head with a diffusing lens to soften the output, reduce glare and provide widespread illumination. The LED head also rotates 300º horizontally (90º right and 210º left) and 180º vertically making it both practical and flexible for awkward work areas. When not in use, this can be folded down, resulting in the automatic shutdown of the work light to reduce its overall size, enhancing portability and convenience.

The work lights join Makita’s new DML817 – a compact LED light which features three lighting modes, as well as a memory function, so users can pick up work from where they left off. The DML817 has been designed for a variety of uses including a stationary light and handy portable hanging light. It’s incredibly practical as it also features a USB lighting port, to double up as a portable power bank.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, commented: “All 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.”
