Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita BML185 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Flashlight
Customer Review: Forget the bad reviews...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, lets look at this item for what it is- a Flashlight. Does it perform all the duties of a flashlight?- YES. Does it last as long as the manual states?- YES (BTW- it's always good to download and read the manual before being purchasing or being ultra-critical on a review). Does it suddenly shut off when it reaches the critical battery discharge point?- YES. It's supposed to and it protects the battery (which we all know are expensive). Use some common sense, if you've been running it for 3-4hrs. on a BL1830 battery, realize it may need a charge before lasting you the rest of the project.
Does it adjust to 4 positions as it states?- YES. Does it adjust to 90 different 1 degree incremental positions from zero to 90 degrees like it doesn't say it does- No. BTW- it can be adjusted between the 4 positions that it has, but it just doesn't lock-in to those positions (although it will stay there).
It it bright?- YES. Does it perform the same as a 120 Lumen rechargeable flashlight that costs $175?- Of course not.
Sorry for the critical/sarcastic review, but it just kills me how people tear this light apart. It was $30 and is surprisingly bright with hours of run time. You can try like the guy mentiones below and run an LED bulb in it for increased performance if you desire more from it. It's rugged (I've dropped it several times from 8'+) and comfortable to hold.
I couldn't ask for more from any light below $50.
