Cordless lighting

[m4tty]

Hi,

I'm about to get a new drill as old ones dying so going to go for the makita lxt202 kit and my dewalt snake lights batteries are dead now so looking to get a light to run off the makita batteries 18v 3.0aH li-ion.

Which light do you think would be best out of these 2 below. It's used when changing boards in under stairs cupboards and for poking under floorboards to see where cables are going lol.

Makita Direct

Or

Makita BML184 - 14.4V/18V LXT Li-ion Fluorescent/Incandescent Light (Naked) (BML-184)

Any thoughts on best one or what you use.

Cheers

Matty i have torches even a 24v makita one but for most jobs use a head torch much easier.

What sort of head torch have you got batts ?

i have one of these

Just an energizer jobbie but gives enough light for most jobs and as its LED the batts last a long time like me not.

Matty, I agree, head torch the way to go. It points the way you're looking - ideal when rutting about in lofts and the like. Easier than having to carry a torch and all your gear too.

I've got that one as well... Not a bad head torch TBH

Thanks guys much appreciated. Got the makita torch and not that impressed with the quality unlike the drill. But it is bright. Think I'll invest on a head torch as I got loads of rechargeable batteries recently so that duracell one takes aa batteries so all good. Just gotta earn something now before I get it lol. Cheers
