The 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless L.E.D. Lantern/Flashlight is a versatile work light providing ultra-bright illumination and convenience. There are three L.E.D. lighting modes: 360-degree lantern, 180 degree lantern, and flashlight mode. These versatile settings allow the user to select between lighting a wider area or a specific task or work surface. The fast-charging 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery (sold separately) delivers 11 hours of continuous illumination on a single charge in the 360-degree lantern mode, up to 23 hours in the 180-degree lantern mode, and up to 36 hours in flashlight mode. It is fully compatible with Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
