I raised a complaint with Makita, regarding their extended warranty which excluded work lights in the UK , but everywere else makita offer it. The DML816 is based on the DML801 but features 7 pivot points rather than 6 and 18 LEDs rather than 12 giving it up to double the amount of light - 500 lumens of light vs 240.

Product dimensions are stated with a battery / batteries, if they affect the overall dimensions of the product.I had the first iteration of this light, along with Dewalt's 20v work light and Kobalt's 24v work light. I gave the Makita and Dewalt away and kept the Kobalt 24v. That was probably 4 years ago now. The Kobalt is still the best version of this light by a long margin. I think Ridgid might have just came out with a pretty comparable light, but I don't have those batteries, so I don't intend to test it out.

Les 500lm annoncés n’éclaire pas tant que ça finalement. J’aurais voulu l’utiliser en lampe rasante pour les enduits de finition cependant c’est trop juste pour les grandes surfaces. The middle brightness setting is redundant and forces you to interact with the terrible switch more than is enjoyable. Light intensity is very usable on high. Not has bright as the Kobalt, but more than bright enough. It also gets dimmer than the Kobalt, so that is nice when you want to preserve battery life and/or don't want to light up the whole world. For instance, when camping. Rapport qualité prix très bon pour cette lampe achetée moins de 35€. Pour du Makita c’est une excellente affaire.

Works great as a shop light when I wrenching on my car. Also works fantastic in dark attics ( HVAC Installs). I had the previous version which worked great as well, but it unfortunately broke where the light assembly rotates. However, this one seems more robust, and the hook placement is significantly better. Both lights were the same distance away from the phones light metre app.(40cm) , they were both on par roughly but the yellow one which I have used a lot is brighter and better colour but the makita also does a fine job .

DML816 Features: Reviewing this light is rough because while it's not as good as it should be, it is the best of this style of work light that Makita has made to date. Flashlight head folds up and down with 7 positive stops and rotates left to right for multiple lighting angles Extremely long runtimes - up to 17 hours in high mode, up to 34 hours in medium mode and up to 75 hours in low mode when used with a BL1860B 18V 6Ah batteryThe hook is endlessly more useful than the previous model. The hook is fiddly, but it works well. It mounts to the light between the handle and the light head, which allows the user to hang the light and then angle the head so that it still aims at your workpiece. The problem with the previous model is that the hook was attached to the light head, so when you hang the light, the weight of battery straightens the light out and negates any angle you may have set to the articulating head.
