Hand flashlight Makita DML816X 18V Li-Ion LED 500 lm Green, AC charge, button control

Makita DML816X is a compact, rechargeable hand flashlight with a single high-efficiency LED delivering up to 500 lumens. Designed for use with Makita 18 V Li‑Ion batteries, the lamp supports AC charging and features a green, impact-resistant housing sized 79 × 110 × 383 mm. The light head rotates and tilts for precise aiming, and a removable diffuser attachment broadens the beam for softer, more even illumination. Controls are simple push-button, and the lamp collapses for space-saving storage.

Advantages

The Makita DML816X provides three selectable brightness levels to match task requirements and conserve battery life. A pull-out metal hook rotates 360° allowing secure hanging in different positions, while the rotating and tilting lamp head enables targeted lighting for inspections and worksite tasks. The included diffuser creates wider, shadow-reducing light distribution, and the foldable design improves portability and storage. Button control and AC charging add convenience for everyday use.
