Review: Great tool for these batteries - 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 . Review: My Favorite Tool Light - Very compact, light-weight and convenient. Very bright and very long battery life. ## Features - Up to 28 hours of illumination using a 12V max CXT 4.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery (battery not included) - Compact and ergonomic design at 3" long - Weighs only 0.6 lbs. with battery BL1021B (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue - Compact size for convenient illumination in tight spaces - Ideal addition to any tool box ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01E9W5BIA | | Additional Features | Compact,Cordless,Portable | | Batteries are Included | No | | Battery Description | Lithium | | Battery Type | Lithium Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #622,637 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #4,551 in Handheld Flashlights | | Brand Name | Makita | | Color | Factory | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (570) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381818636 | | Included Components | Flashlight only (battery and charger not included) | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4.72"D x 1.57"W x 7.68"H | | Item Weight | 0.22 Pounds | | Light Source Type | LED | | Light Source Wattage | 1.5 Watts | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 year warranty. | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | ML103 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping, automotive repairs, household use, and situations requiring a portable and long-lasting light source in tight spaces | | Runtime | 28 hours | | Shape | Rectangular | | Style Name | Compact | | UPC | 088381818636 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 10.8 Volts | | White Brightness | 100 Lumens | ## Product Details - **Color:** Factory - **Light Source Type:** LED - **Material:** Plastic - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Special Feature:** Compact,Cordless,Portable ## Images ![Makita ML103 12V MAX CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless L.E.D.
