I personally think this is a very good light. It still could be a lot better though. Improvements: 1) The legs are a bit flimsy compared to the rest of the light. A metal rib in them would be much nicer 2) The deployment collar is annoying. I wish it were a lever, similar to how the EGO lawn mower handle fold-down lever is 3) Customizable brightness levels. The One Key function allows you to choose any brightness level. But you cannot reprogram high, medium, and low. 3) Smartphone/USB charging capability inside the watertight compartment 4) Built-in Milwaukee Top-off 5) Flashlight holder, with charging dock. That way, you can have a tiny light docked into the large light for those awkward situations where you need a quick light 6) A tad larger and taller 7) More brightness 8) A spot beam mode 9) Rubber over-molded handles 10) More rotation locking options for the mast. Maybe a toothed gear system that let's you lock the arm at just about any angle 11) Remove some slop in the moving parts. The mast is very, very sloppy in its fit. I understand that is by design, but I think it is just a bit too much. Instead, beef up the joints with more metal 12) Retractable carry strap. Currently, it comes with a shoulder strap, but it just swings around everywhere and gets caught when it's not on your shoulder. Some way to tuck up the strap when not in use would be great I know many of these improvements would make the light heavier, but I personally think that isn't too big a concern. Currently, the light is quite balanced and very compact. So, a bit more weight wouldn't really make too much of a difference. Also, I know this was designed to fit in the side utility cubby on a truck, but I think a version 2 should just be a completely different light for different users. Also, also, this light is $700. For what you get, I don't think it's worth it as their other products are nearly half as expensive but brighter. For this price, I would have liked to see a few more bells and whistles. The dual battery system is awesome and I sometimes run it on one battery and put a few tools in where the second battery should go.
I love the waterproof part. I live in Florida where it rains a lot . I could leave it outside by accident or on purpose and not ruin it or the batteries
I notice how even with the 12.0 there is still about a 1/2” of clearance. Looks like another row of cells will fit. Can you say 15.0 ah battery that Milwaukee has been planning for awhile?
At 700 bucks this is WAY overpriced. Not a good value at all. Even the charging Rocket tower at $400 is a better value, and it was on sale for 269 a few months ago. The only benefit I can see is that it’s better at downwards illumination. But at what cost, heh.
What are your thoughts on this work light? Do you see room for Milwaukee to improve on this light? Comment below ⬇️ Thanks for watching 😀
one of my legs broke and I can't get it apart to fix it. 😞
Lower the price or add charging capabilities
Something else I don’t need but have to buy, thanks a lot 😂
Sorry Pete. 😂 I know that feeling.
@@PhillipBridgesReviews if you get a chance to watch one of mine I’d appreciate it sir
Thanks!
Right lmao

These would definitely be great improvements 👍🏻
This is a beast of a light. I love it! Good review
Thanks. It’s one of my favorite standing work lights. Can’t beat the dual battery.

you can make water proof ac power input
I notice how even with the 12.0 there is still about a 1/2” of clearance. Looks like another row of cells will fit. Can you say 15.0 ah battery that Milwaukee has been planning for awhile?
I’m thinking there is something in the works 😉
If somebody removes the little battery, can they still use it if the light is locked?
Thinking about buying this....

Nice upload...
What is the price
Can I use one key app to turn on this light?
Cool light but not for $700!
Price?
Around $599.00 😬
Take my money once again 😅
No option to plug in is crazy
When is this available?
It’s out now
what’s run time on high power. 1 hour?
Actually it’s not bad. About 6 hours on 2 12.0’s
@@PhillipBridgesReviews how about the run time on low
@@ericrozanski1174 26 hours on low 🙀
The original one sold with 9.0 and another review showed it had the same runtimes
You remind me of Will Ferrell
I actually get that a lot 😄
