MakitaDML808 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Adjustable Beam L.E.D. Flashlight, Flashlight Only

DML808 LED 14.4-18V Flashlight.I have the 18V system so I can't comment on the 14.4V. It's a flashlight, but much more. Has an on and off soft touch button. That's it, it turns the light on and off! Simple and easy. No scrolling through a bunch of never used strobe effects and intensities. It's bright and one of the reasons I purchased this particular Makita flashlight was because of the beam focus. It throws a wide beam, turn the focuser and watch the beam get narrow and tight. Stop at anywhere in between. I believe this is the only model that has a focuser. It's not top heavy or easy to tip over. Set it down, adjust the head which swivels, to the spot where you need it. Some of the other Mikita's are a bit top heavy and bulky. It feels just like the Makita drill, but lighter in the hand. Very ergonomically built. This model has a nice sturdy hanging hook that can be attached toward the top or at the bottom for holding the light in different positions. I've hung the light by the bottom hook and adjusted the beam to a flood light, perfect when camping so the grandkids can make it around camp and for a night light till they fell asleep. The LED is not replaceable but it's rated up to 100k hours. If the LED holds up, and I don't see why it wouldn't, with reasonable care, it should last a lifetime.

I'm a long time fan of Makita Products and I'm extremely pleased with this flashlight.It's sufficiently bright without being over-powering and the focus is a great feature that extends it's capabilities.I highly recommend it.

This flashlight was a Christmas gift for my Dear Hubby (aka: Studmuffin). We both enjoy using high quality tools, and this Makita flashlight is no exception! It’s a Makita; we have never been disappointed by any of our Makita tool purchases.The brightness of the light output is very impressive, and the ability to focus the beam of light is also very helpful! The flashlight has been used almost daily and the battery (not included, but we already had spares) is still going strong from the initial full charge on December 25th. I have no idea how long it may last, but the batteries in our other Makita tools have proven to be the longest lasting batteries compared to our other cordless/rechargeable tools, and that includes three of the big brands. If a perfect flashlight is possible, then this may be it!We live on a 50 acre farm out in the boonies, so our outdoor lighting at night is primarily the stars above. Walking out to the shed to check on our horse and goats was challenging with a regular flashlight (there is no smooth paved road). This light lights up the shed from the house (~150+ ft), and makes the trek out there a lot safer when it’s dark. It’s also fun to shine it out into the forest and play “I Spy” with the wild critters roaming around at night! 😄

As a typical Makita product this flashlight is great. Very bright and it has a swivel head with a zoom feature that will narrow down to a spotlight or as a wide angle light. Would buy it again....if it ever breaks, which i doubt would happen.

very comfortable, shines for a long time, but not bright enough

When I need it at 3am, it doesn’t blind me.A reliable light that helps me find things in the dark and allows me to fall asleep 😴 easily.

Awesome!

Great flashlight. The adjustable beam has no hot-spots or cold shadows. Very ergonomic when used in my hand. The real reason I got this is because it can be adjusted to many, many positions and used hands-free for HOURS. The manual indicates 14 hours with the 3.0Ah battery and 26 hours (!!!) with the 5.0Ah battery. If you’re already in the Makita ecosystem then I highly recommend this light. No issues with beam adjustment.

Wanted something light and bright for the shop. I have used traditional corded trouble lamps for years but the portability of a cordless is so much better, plus leds won't burn you. I have a couple other Makita lamps of different styles but this one is nice and simple and provides enough light to do what you need.

Makita toujours et encore excellentÇa éclaire très loin et le réglage du faisceau et très bien faitIdéal pour le jardin la nuit .

Dank Amazon wieder eine schnelle Lieferung. Handleuchte super praktisch und schnell einsatzbereit. Qualität wie immer bei Makita top.

Lampe trouvée robuste pour l'avoir fait déjà quelques fois tomber. Bon produit (même si j'aurais trouvé utile de pouvoir varier l'intensité de la lumière).

I work outside pretty much all year long maintaining rail vehicles. Its came in very useful during the Autumn and winter months and has withstood all weather conditions. Very bright and sturdy with a decent battery life. I wouldnt go for any other torch.
