hi everybody i'm phillip bridges and
today we're going to talk about the milwaukee m18 LED lantern light that
retails for about $79 right now for the tool only now if you haven't subscribed
to my channel do so hit the subscribe button down below hit that notification
bell so you can get all my videos that I post up every week and you'll get
notified right away when they come on so this Lantern is probably if you're
getting into buying Milwaukee products of their eighteenth series like this for
a light is probably the first one that you are going to want to get and if you
just bought this light and only bought this light you'd still do good because
this light is really nice it's a has high not a high impact of polycarbonate
like the other jobsite lights but it is an impact resistant lens that you know
it's it's not as thick if you do drop it and it probably will end up cracking but
its water and dust resistant this light comes with Milwaukee's five year tool
warranty and a limited lifetime warranty economy LED lights itself
it weighs 1.2 pounds without the battery its stands about 11 and a half inches
and it has three different light settings on it I'll grab a battery with
this light though it will take you don't take your Milwaukee 9.0 18 volts but I
have not been able to get the new 12 points to fit on it which is sad but you
put a nine point on this thing but I'll just use one of the old M 18 X's because
all these are goodies because they still work really good so at high this is high
and this is at 700 lumens and so it has three different light settings a high
medium and low medium is gonna be at 350 lumens and low is gonna be at just a
candle light 70 lumens now when you have this on high it's gonna run about 16
hours and medium it'll get you about 20 hours and if you just have it on this
low candle light setting you're it's gonna run for over $100 and that's the
rating just for the ma 18 x seeds now if you put a nine point on and like I said
before it's gonna run for hours so this is a good life to have just at your
house too so the power goes out or anything like that this lights gonna
save the day it also has a strobe feature that if you hold down the on/off
button it'll strobe and it's troves at the 700 lumens and they'll do that for
16 hours on a full charge which is really nice
now it also has the 180 to 360 degree light control which all you do is you
turn the black dial and now you kind of have like a floodlight instead of a
lantern you got all those LEDs shining right
which is really nice to have it's really good for on the farm
I use mine I used to have it in my truck and then I got the other m18 psych
lights and I brought this home because I use it on the farm because we also have
a lower m12 version of this too but I like to use the m18 I keep this on my
Kubota and use it up when I'm out at night on the tractor and whatnot my wife
did use the m12 and she loves it so this also has a feature like I said you want
it for your house in case the power goes out it has a USB charger feature on it
so all you do is you could take your USB cord and in the back you can flip down
the back of it and now you can charge your phone you can charge the tablet you
can you know you can charge you can even charge a battery power supply which I
have actually in my pocket and I have no idea why I have this in my pocket but
you can charge one of these things so you can still you can charge it up even
if you have multiple Milwaukee batteries you can charge it up use one of these
and you can still charge someone else's phone and you can still use the USB
adapter on that this is really nice it also has stainless steel hooks that you
can use for a handle or you can use for hanging the light throw it up in a tree
if you're camping just really nice no like I said my tops on this yes I would
buy I would buy another one there are only $79 which is a phenomenal price
this thing it's amazing so with that the downfall of you know I wish that the
plastic lens was a little bit more you know impact resistant I just it
scratches up easily and but I try to buff it off you know but I had this in
my work truck for about six months and it was just sitting up in the back and
it it got scratched up pretty good but I don't really that's not really an
effective like too much who's that it's not a ridiculous amount of scratches but
I really wish you would just be more of the high-impact legs like the upgraded
sight lights that Milwaukee offers but nonetheless this is a really good life
to have in your arsenal of even at your house even if it's at the job site it's
a great light to have you can still take this down into a basement set it in the
basement it's gonna light up pretty good amount of that that basement you're
gonna do some work down there so I have Phil bridges and subscribe down below
the like button let me know your comments you know if you have this light
and you know what you use it for if you use it for worker even if you use it for
your house or if you use it for just the backup if the power goes off just some
sort of a security light so let me know on that i'm phillip bridges and i will
