Milwaukee 2363-20 M18 LED Lantern/Flood Light

I love the versatility of this light. I use it for jobs of course, but also keep it handy as an emergency light as it would light up a room during a power outage. With the adjustable 'collar' you can either align the 3 bulbs next to each other to direct the light in one direction (not in your face), or you can have them in a triangle/circular pattern to provide general lighting like a lantern. It stands on the battery base so you can set it on the floor, or under a kitchen sink like I did recently, or you can hang with the loop. I bought one as a gift for my friend who does a lot of drywall and he likes that you can hold it close to the surface like a wand to look for imperfections in his mudding and sanding (he's thanked me a dozen times for this light as he uses it all the time). I have not tried to use the USB port to charge anything. For the person in your life that has every tool you can think of, and uses the M18 battery system from Milwaukee, this is a great gift that will be used over and over again. It is worth the price.

Used it for sheetrocking and taping to have better lighting. I had to make my own shade with cardboard to block the light from shining in my eyes.

Love this light. Have 2 of them now! USB is wonderful to have and love that this offers 180° or 360° light with different light levels.

Great light. Comes in handy for many applications.

Really nice when the power goes out and for camping trips like the idea of a USB PORT FOR A CELLPHONE

Works just perfect for under vehicles or dashboards

This is almost the perfect light. In either mode it provides bright light without being blinding like the halogen firestarters and their LED successors.I use this everywhere: on the job site, working on my vehicle, working in the yard, and even camping! This is brighter than a Coleman lantern, yet I can take it into my tent.
Kudos to the designer who created the trouble light to 360° rotation. It is also fairly compact, even more so than the M12 version, all things considered. The USB charger is a nice touch, and the auto shut-off is helpful for maintaining standby battery life.
My only minor gripe is that it's somewhat unstable when standing it up on a traditional M18 battery. No problems with the High Output versions, but why use that on a light? Bottom line: buy this. It is versatile and provides good, bright light

I have been using this light and its predecessor for 3+ years in a heavy industrial setting. I work under cat3-5 trucks most days. This light provides true color light when working with wires with similar colors. The area flood effect reflects light into all the nooks and crannies. I spray sparks at it often. drop it from 14' several times a week. Ive gotten it wet. I hit it with the pressure washer last week, it shut down safely, the next morning good as new. my last on was magneted to the bottom of a 20k# truck. I hit a bump in the parking lot and it stopped the truck at about 5mph, I didnt know what it was so i backed up and drove again, the third try I canned it and smashed the light, lens and top. doh!!! Immediately went and got a new one. I have this light on most days for a 10 hr shift. it doesnt get hot. It provides as much light IMHO as a 350 watt halogen corded. a 4.0 hc battery lasts 8+ hours, I rarely use it on anything but high. The lights being spread out and diffused makes it ok if you look at it for a second. many highpower led's blind you. I wish the lenses were easier to get and replace. the sparks take a toll after 18mos, i get paint on it and stuff. There is no problem with the lens, its all on me. no other light has ever come close to putting up with the abuse I dole out every day. I use when welding under trucks cause i cant flip up my hood and it gives enough light to easily see the work with my hood down. most of the spatter bounces off the lens. I thought they stopped making it for a while, that would have been a tragedy. I take it camping with me with 3 batteries I can leave it run all night for 3 nights so the boys can find the bathroom. I would buy it again for that alone. Very Happy

This light is great for anything. Very bright, can choose between 360 or 180, and has a USB port to charger anything. It does have a ring at the top that opens so you can hang it but it is so small you really cant hang it from anything but a string. I would like to see the loop that is has, a larger swing up hook and a magnet.
