Makita DML805 18V Cordless/Corded LED Work Light – Tool Only

The Makita DML805 LED Work Light is a compact and versatile lighting solution designed for contractors, maintenance crews, and advanced DIY users who need dependable illumination in changing work environments. Producing 360° area lighting with a light output of 750 lumens, this work light is well suited for close-range tasks, service work, and general jobsite lighting where even coverage is more important than high-output flood lighting.

The DML805 can operate on both 18V or 14.4V Makita lithium-ion batteries as well as 120V AC power, allowing seamless transitions between corded and cordless use. When running on DC battery power, Makita’s eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) helps protect the light from dust, debris, and moisture, supporting reliable performance in demanding conditions. The heavy-duty adjustable frame allows 360° vertical rotation, giving users precise control over light placement. Battery and charger are sold separately.
