Makita’s power tools are routinely praised for being some of the best in the business. Its 18V LXT system, in particular, is widely regarded as one of the top power tool systems around, as it features over 350 cordless tools compatible with the brand’s 18V slide-style batteries. But even if you were to buy every last one, these tools wouldn’t do you very much good without at least one Makita work light to go along with them.

Enter the Makita 18V LXT Cordless LED Work Light. It’s one of the most powerful work lights in the Makita lineup, and for a limited time, it’s also one of the most affordable options of the bunch. The light typically retails for $90 at Amazon, but if you purchase one now, you can get it for just $66, helping you to save over 25%.

The first thing that stands out about this Makita work light is its impressive versatility. It boasts both a flashlight head that tilts up and down in seven positions and a metal hanging hook that swivels 360 degrees, enabling you to shine light in just about any direction easily. It also features 12 LED lights, allowing you to choose between a half-brightness setting delivering 120 lumens and a full-brightness setting producing 240 lumens, based on your specific lighting needs.

Additionally, this lightweight 1-pound work light is fully compatible with Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries and is designed to last a long time between charges. You can get up to 17 hours of full-brightness use on a single charge, or up to 40 hours in half-brightness mode. All of this explains why the light has quickly become a favorite among mechanics and DIYers alike.

“This work light is a godsend when doing intricate work under your car,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s very bright and long-lasting.”
