Milwaukee 49-24-0185 V28 Lithium-Ion Work Light
Pros:
- Once you have the light (and battery/charger) it costs nothing additional to use, unlike a flashlight that needs replacement batteries.
- light lasts over 5 hours on a single charge; much longer than most battery-operated lamps.
- great for emergency lighting needs - keep it with your job-site V28 tools, carry it in your vehicle, or use it at home when the power goes out.
- adjust beam angle anywhere from aiming down to straight up.
- stays put on a flat surface since the V28 battery bottom has a flat rubber pad on it.
- beam spread can be adjusted to a wider flood, by unscrewing the bulb cover.
- the principle weight of the light is the battery.
- seems well constructed, with a solid-feeling off/on switch.
- 5-year warranty (don't forget to register Milwaukee tools at their web site).
- easy to carry: in your hand with the comfortable grip, or, on the V28 belt-clip-lock system.
Cons:
- Although it's reasonably bright for a flashlight, I was a disappointed that it uses an incandescent bulb instead of LED technology, which typically produces much more light per watt. For the same brightness with LED's, the battery would have lasted much longer.
- Another useful feature would have been a brightness selection. When used as an emergency light in the house when the power goes out for example, it would be nice to have a 1/2 power switch so the light would last 10 hours instead of 5.
Summary:
If you already own a V28 tool (and batteries & charger), or, are planning to get one of the Milwaukee kits that this comes in, it's worth owning.
Milwaulkee nothing but the best [Posted on 2007-11-30]
I had other Milwaulkee tools and have come to learn that thy are nothing short of the best. I bought the 28 volt kit from Amazon which came with the flashlight. I'm a home inspector and thought I would use it on the job. The light is on steady for almost three hours and it still has half the charge left. The light is powerful and easy to handle. The weight is well distributed and having the swivel head enabling the light to be set down and pointing the beam where you need it is great. The 28 volt set including the flashlight is the best designed and built there is.

pretty good [Posted on 2008-05-21]
It's a reasonably good replacement for a regular drag light, you can put it upright or on it's back and pivot the head to aim it where you want. Pretty bright but despite what others are saying it doesn't have an adjustable beam, it just gets dimmer as you unscrew the bezel and the bulb goes behind the reflector. It does throw off significant heat so you have to keep the head vents clear and there's no bail or hook on top to hang it for ladder work but I guess Milwaukee wanted to keep it cheap and avoid having it dropped from up high. And it has a spare bulb in the head that nobody seems aware of, including the salesperson.
GREAT FLASHLIGHT ,EASY TO USE [Posted on 2008-08-23]
If You buy any of the V28 cordless products from Milwaukee than
you might as well spend a few bucks more for the flashlight seeing how
you will already have the v28 batteries, so how can you go wrong.
The light has great ajustabilty and the battery life is great .
Enough said!!!
