The Milwaukee® M12™ LED Area Light: Stick, Clamp, Hang, Carry Anywhere!

Milwaukee Tool continues to expand their TRUEVIEW™ high definition lighting solutions with the introduction of the M12™ LED Area Light.

Designed for the trades that are constantly on the move, the new light is a replacement for 250 W halogen and portable enough to take anywhere and versatile enough to hang everywhere.

“Halogen flood lights have a difficult time keeping up with our users on jobsites. The cords, lack of durability and excessive heat make them very challenging to move from space to space” said Oliver Lerch, Vice President of Product Management. “By leveraging our leadership in cordless and LED technology, we’ve been able to provide lighting solutions that change all of that. The new M12 LED Area Light is the ultimate light for on-the-go use – providing unmatched light output in a compact package that can go anywhere and withstand anything.”

The M12 LED Area Light is designed with integrated hanging features that make it easy to adapt to the environment. A magnetic base allows users to stick the Area Light to metal surfaces such as steel studs, electrical boxes, ductwork and job boxes. A spring loaded reinforced clamp makes it quick and easy to mount to other common surfaces like wood studs, scissor lifts, job carts, ladders and more. With the ability to rest in 5 different positions, it can also direct light in multiple directions and angles.

Capable of providing 1000 Lumens of light, the new M12 LED Area Light can illuminate large workspaces for up to 15 hours on a single charge. The Area Light features TRUEVIEW technology, which utilises the most advanced LED technology and optical designs to deliver a consistent beam, optimised color temperature and true representation of colors and detail leading to a more productive work area.

A durable high impact polycarbonate lens design can survive harsh jobsite conditions and, when paired with the Area Light’s rubber over mold, can survive 2.7 m drops. Additionally, with an IP54 rating, the Area Light is protected from dust and water.

 

Powered by Milwaukee® REDLITHIUM-ION batteries*, the new M12 LED Area Light is compatible with the M12 cordless system, now offering more than 65 power tool products. Committed to its focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology, Milwaukee® will continue to design and develop lighting solutions with the ability to adapt, perform and survive the demands of professional use.
