ML103 12V MAX CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless L.E.D. Flashlight

What a great product for the small 12 volt CXT battery by Makita. I took all pictures in my home. I noticed that in complete darkness in interior spaces it gives great lighting as the light can bounce around an illuminate more. Where as in outdoors some of the light is lost because it has nothing to bounce back from as is with all lights, so it is spread out more and obviously less illumination. But still, out doors in complete darkness it is a lot better than a cell phone light. My guess is this can be around the house useful in an emergency or any typical use if need be. But I have a feeling that it can also be in your toolbag for the average tradesman. Although from my experience most professional tradesman are using the bigger 18v LXT batteries for their tools so I doubt this will be a choice for them. I bought this because I am a painter and sometimes need a light to look for small imperfections on wall surfaces .And this light does the trick exceptionally. It so happens that I have two batteries from a makita drill set that I do use on occasion for the lighter type drill work around home and job site. My only drill set to be exact. So what better way than to get more use out of my batteries. The build feels great and quality is exactly the same is material used on drills. Hard plastic with the soft feeling black rubber for grip. The only button, the power button feels snug with a firm press it turn on and off. There is also a small cut out so you can loop a lanyard or something you can tie on for hanging or storing away. Only thing can’t quite comment on is battery life. I only have the smallest 1.5ah battery but according to instructions it’s plenty of life for me. Plus I have two batteries so not worried about that at all. Definitely not a replacement for a wired work light or battery powered light like the ones using bigger batteries. It’s a great light for tradesman who wants something lighter than bigger battery lights out there to carry in their belt. But as mentioned earlier I doubt that the average tradesman will be carrying the 12v batteries. But if you happen to be a professional with some of these batteries around and don’t need 1000 lumen of light this is something to consider .

Very compact, light-weight and convenient. Very bright and very long battery life.

I work in commercial construction for large contractors that usually provide us with drills and lights, and I’ll put my makita drill up against any other name brand. I’ve been using my 12v drill set for 6 years everyday, pushing its limits but they never fail. Love Makita 12 v battery tools. I would like to get another set to keep in my service van and leave the others in the gangbox on job site. This light completes my bag. I even just bought the right angle drill for tight spots.. the light last forever one 1 small batter 1.5 ma.

There are brighter lights, but this is a great size and plenty bright for under the sink jobs and the like. Has one LED and is about 20% smaller than the battery it sits on. glad I bought it.

These lights are crazy small and compact on a 2.0ah battery, and run forever! they're surprisingly bright for their size as well! It is NOT a replacement to large jobsite flood lights, I myself happen to own almost every light Makita has ever made and they all have their place, so If you buy this expecting to light up your entire jobsite and then complain that it's not bright, you should probably re-assess yourself! These are absolutely perfect for camping and all sorts of other adventures because it fits in any pocket on me, even a shirt pocket (seriously you should buy one for your wife to keep in her purse!) Also handy for simple emergency prep, such as keeping one in the glovebox of the truck, bringing it on a hike, having them for power outages, I could go on and on because the handy size and efficient run time is awesome! I ended up purchasing several more.

VERY HAPPY

Nice little light

Nole que da alas baterías que yo tengo no me gusto

Tengo el atornillador con taladro de Makita muy buena marca que funciona muy bien para el bricolaje y con este accesorio que se carga con el mismo cargador del atornillador para alumbrado en los chocos y zonas oscuras muy bien con su propia base de apoyo

ちょっとした必要な時に ケースに入れておくと助かる。 明るさは大きい物と比べると 暗いが無いよりはまし。 磁石なり何か引っ掛けが 付いていると さらに助かるかな。

Die DEAML103 ist eine prima Ergänzung zum 10,8- bzw. 12V-Akku-System von Makita und glänzt eher durch lange Laufzeit als besondere Helligkeit. Meine kleine Werkstatt befindet sich in einem Keller ohne Stromanschluss, in der diese Dauer-Lichtquelle eine angenehme Ergänzung darstellt. Das Modell ist ausgesprochen kompakt und auf dem Akku perfekt aufgehoben. Die Beleuchtungsstärke entspricht der einer kleineren Taschenlampe. Makita spricht auf seiner Homepage von 50 Lux Beleuchtungsstärke auf einen Meter Entfernung, bei meiner eigenen Messung waren es sogar 70 lx (aber da bin ich kein Experte und von Laborbedingungen kann man wohl erst recht nicht sprechen). Wer es noch heller haben will, der ist bei der DEAML104 oder DEAML106 vermutlich besser aufgehoben – das geht dann natürlich zu Lasten des Akkus. Der große Vorteil liegt nämlich in der Akkulaufzeit: Ich habe die Lampe nun 24 Stunden am Stück laufen lassen und mein 4,0-Ah-Akku ist jetzt erst beim letzten Pips angekommen. Der Verbrauch ist fast mikroskopisch und die Lampe wird auch bei Dauerbetrieb vorne an der LED nicht mehr als handwarm.. Das Gewicht liegt, anders als in der Produktbeschreibung angegeben, bei nur 60 Gramm. Man kann die Lampe zudem auf den Rücken legen, sodass sie nach oben strahlt. Und am hinteren Ende gibt es eine kleine Öse. Preis und Lieferung bewerte ich nicht. Schönen Gruß aus Berlin.

I am a female using DIY products so bought a whole suite of 10.8v as the normal 18v was too heavy. being totally female, I also love the colour of the Makita! bought a spare battery here for my tools a young gentleman has been using my 10.8v makita tools and says for a kit that travels in the car (which is what mine does) its faultless! he says better than some 18v products and better then my older 18v makita drill actually he says HIGHLY RECOMEND

Cette lampe de poche fonctionne à merveille, je recommande !
