White or Blue which to choose [Posted on 2007-12-18]
I have the White and Blue LXT 18v drills and the Blue flashlight and was tricked into thinking I needed this White version of the LXT 18V flashlight because the White LXT batteries do not fit the Blue LXT style flashlights or drills etc. But upon receiving the new White flashlight it was quite clear that the Whites and the Blues are identical even the part numbers what Makita had done to prevent using White batteries on Blue tools was to place a plastic stop tab in the sliding groove of their tools, a sharp utility knife took care of it and now I can use any battery on which ever tool I desire. I think that was low down of Makita to pull a stunt like that to boost sales that is why I am giving it one star. PS I guess this method will work on any of their accessories ie Radios, etc.
Great light for LXT owners [Posted on 2007-12-25]
The BML185W is a newer version of the blue BML185 and takes both 1.5Ah and 3.0Ah batteries. When used with the 1.5Ah batteries, this is very light and powerful flashlight. The on/off switch also works well. If you are looking for an 18V LXT flashlight, get this one if you want to use 1.5Ah batteries.
Good Product [Posted on 2008-03-07]
This is a good light, but I'm a little disappointed in its light output. I was hoping for a little more brightness. On the "bright" side, the battery life is incredible.
good light,, but not quite [Posted on 2008-07-14]
this light is good with the different positions you need in getting a job done,, I just think It was just too light, and not heavy duty enough (It feels like if I were to drop it, it would break easily,) and the light is not as powerful as I thought it should be,,. But it gets the job done,, as long as your careful with it,,. If you have more heavy duty jobs, than you might want a more heavy duty light than this one,,.. but it completes my makita drill and compact drill set,, so I'm happy!
Another good Makita product! [Posted on 2008-07-30]
Since I own other Makita 18volt tools,the purchase of this flashlight was a nobrainer at the price being asked by Amazon.I can find no faults with this product.
