Review: A really nice lantern with an added bonus flashlight. - Bought both this and the LXLM03 to try out. I can't bring myself to return either. This one (the DML806) is my favorite and the one I find myself going to most, over the LXLM103, over even my favorite LED flashlights, over the corded retractable shop light plugged in and ready in the garage... Were it just a lantern and flashlight it would be good. To be able to switch between full and half lantern makes all the difference. One click for full lantern, second click turns one half of the lantern off for great, bright directional light. The flashlight is weak and sad by LED flashlight standards, but is sufficient, and the battery power makes up for the shortfall in flashlight brightness. It's sturdy, and stands up on its own on most flat surfaces, even those not perfectly flat. It also has a really neat swiveling hook to hang too. Fantastic for working on the car where it's tough to use a 100 watt bulb and hard to find a place to hook or lay it. Cool to the touch, no worry about the bulb getting to hot or burning oil off of the bulb or heating up your floor mats while you're under the dash... The plastic wipes clean easily. I was also sick of having a ton of flashlights all with 3 dead AAA batteries. Spend more time hunting batteries and changing batteries than I do using flashlights. If you have the other LXT Tools, you probably know how nice the Makita LXT Tools are. You probably also keep a charged or at least partially charged battery around. Being able to pick up a quick exchange battery and have a really fantastic light/lantern ready to go is a very nice thing. I probably wouldn't recommend this alone, but if you own the batteries and charger, there's not a better more versatile light out there. I can't speak to the battery life, as I haven't worn one out with it yet. If you're camping and have ever had to haul a lantern and 2 spare lantern batteries around, you'd have to appreciate the convenience of this. A LXT Battery and a spare would take up less space and weigh less than one set of lantern batteries, never mind a spare.
Review: Great Lights - I love these lights, they work great, and are compatible with my Makita batteries. The function is simple and it is bright enough to light up any dark space for any task. If I had to complain - I wish the hook was larger, and I wish there were some way to hang it from the bottom (battery side).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have a Mikita cordless drill can I use this light with the battery pack?**
A: yes. the light works with the same Makita 18v battery the drill motors use

**Q: Is this compairable to a 40watt bulb?**
A: No, it puts out much more light. The full 360 mode fills the whole room and the half mode lights half the room. I almost never use the flashlight mode. We have had trouble with power outages, so I hang this on the wall beside the bed. Has lasted in 6 and 10 hour outages with one battery. It is nice not to have to spend the first hour of the outage looking for and replacing batteries in a bunch of flashlights and "lanterns".

**Q: how durable is it?**
A: it appears to be well made and I have used it for a variety of situations like power outages, night fishing, etc and I'm not known for being very gentle so I'd have to say its pretty durable and gives off a good amount of light.  Cheers

**Q: Where do you find the serial number on this to register it on the Makita website?**
A: There are two sets of numbers on my flashlight in this video. They are reference numbers an authorized Makita dealer will use to identify it. My other Makita flashlight is the same, with no clear marking of a Serial number.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Lights
*by A***M on October 25, 2025*

I love these lights, they work great, and are compatible with my Makita batteries. The function is simple and it is bright enough to light up any dark space for any task. If I had to complain - I wish the hook was larger, and I wish there were some way to hang it from the bottom (battery side).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brighter than expected-
*by R***Z on August 18, 2016*

Excellent lantern, very bright and has a three-function push button switch. This lantern can easily illuminate a large room or tent, and is a nice alternative to a propane lantern for campsite use. It is not quite as bright as a propane lantern, however it has the advantage of running cool to the touch. The lantern has a single push button that cycles between 360 degree; 180 degree illumination; single bulb flashlight, and OFF. The 180 degree lantern function is very useful while carrying the lantern, as it completely illuminates what is in front of you, and does not shine light in your eyes. The button feels substantial, and my lantern has survived dropping several times. The flashlight function is sufficient, the lantern function is exceptional. Please note- no batteries are included: It can use any size Makita battery, the large BL1850 batteries will power the lantern for many hours.
