What reviewers say

  • 4.8 / 5143 ratings

Owners rate it highly, with 4.8 out of 5 from 143 ratings. They praise the brightness and wide coverage for jobsite and emergency use. The main complaints are weight and the cost of running it on two batteries.

What people mention
  • BrightnessPraisedOwners say the 10,000-lumen High mode lights up a whole room or work area.
  • BatteryMixedRuntime on Low is good, but full output needs two 18V packs and drains them fast.
  • WeightCriticisedAt 15.4 lbs with batteries, it is awkward to move around a site.
  • BuildMixedThe IP65 housing holds up to dust and rain, but the plastic body feels less rugged than metal.
  • SetupPraisedThe handle and adjustable beam make it quick to position and aim.
