Wait till they are on sale for $199 and come with a 5.0 battery and charger start up kit

I still use my old halogen light. Heats the room in winter and if you put your food near it you have warm lunch!

tradesman: "$250 these arent cheap" mechanics: "cheap af i'll take 2"

Finally someone who talks about how depressing it can get working on a dark place

That's the cleanest crawlspace I've ever scene.

Being able to plug into 120 is one of the many small but huge reasons to go with milwaukee over some of the other brands with similar products

Gotta admit though, working late in the evenings during late fall to early spring, the heat off those old boys is more of a treat than a nuisance 😂

I do most of my work from 8 pm to 5 am. This light has been a savior for me.

They are absolutely worth it especially when you use them as backup lights for like a party or something like man they just make your whole life different

Nothing safer than being able to actually see where your hammer, drill, saw, etc are working. 😂

Absolutely worth it! Makes a great light for mobile automotive as well. Nothing sux worse than trying to hold a flashlight in your mouth while wondering if someone is going to crash into the vehicle your working on. Having a light that bright tends to warn people a bit further away, and makes seeing what your working on a lot easier as well.

As a welder/fabricator part time and a DIY handyman, I will still get one of these. I have mostly milwalkee stuff so already have batts and I agree with what you said, I hate dark work spaces.

Absolutely love mine. Have a 5.0 and 6.0 battery. Barely uses any power and have used it many times in the middle of the night to work in the yard , do repairs and even wash my trucks or show car for an early event. Love this thing! Easy to transport with my other tools too when I need it

I just bought the millwaukie rover flood light and I couldn’t be more happy!! That and my rocket light will light up my whole job sight

Worth every penny! We have 3 of them on our rescue truck. They have become a go to for our scene lighting on car accident and structure fires.

LED lamps really upped the lighting game! I love them!

Yes these lights are indeed awesome! I have the M18 & M12 both which is nice because m12 is smaller so I can use them in more compact areas. Prior to getting these lights however I took my old halogen light tripod and took the halogen lights off and added a couple of LED work lights that were meant to sit on the ground and face up and mounted them to the stand. Those were great for years until these lights came about.

The beauty of technology, never stops evolving. ♥️💪🏼

Bought one during a hurricane. Best investment. It was a life saver and vital tool to working at night

Get the 3 head one. So much better and it can charge batteries when plugged in. And it has USB charger port to charge your phone. I have all 3 rocket lights and this one is my favorite and worth the money

I think it’s worth the $230 bucks. That’s a badass light

I have one that has three separate lights on top that can fold down and in different directions. I don't use it often but when I do, it really comes in handy.

I have one of these, been having it for a couple of years and it’s really badass, very maneuverable and adaptable to whatever setting you may need it in!

Had mine for 3 years now or close to it and it’s perfect.

There's several reasons why halogen work lights are just a standard. Here are some reasons. Compared to other Lighting Technologies at the time like fluorescent or hid lamps was the startup time. Halogen and incandescent lights had the quickest startup time. Basically the second that you turned them on they are as bright as they're going to be. Compared to fluorescent lights that have a certain length of time before they at full brightness. One major thing on why halogen work lights are still being used is because of a thing called CRI or color rendering index which basically means how good you can distinguish colors in the lighting condition. Halogen lamps have a CRI of 100 which is the best you can get. For comparison the sun has a CRI of 100 as well. Which makes halogen work lights extraordinary good. For comparison a LED has a CRI of around 80 this number is pretty frustrating though and a fluorescent light has a CR I ever around 85. Incandescent lights also have a CRI of 100 however halogen bulbs last four times longer than incandescent lighting technology. Also not related to the topic but incandescent and halogen lights can easily be damned with no issues. Hope this comment gives you a different Viewpoint of halogen. Yeah LEDs are in just about everything these days the older Lighting Technologies do have their time in their place.

We had these on my deployment and they are amazing! 😊

Nevermind the light, that was the cleanest damn crawl space I've ever seen!

We carry four of these on our tower truck at the local fire department, along with several other M18 lights. They’re an absolute game changer for scene lighting and very convenient to carry since they don’t take up much space

I absolutely love my rocket light. It is expensive but it is 100% worth it. I used to not put too much into lighting but after using one of these there’s no going back. No more searching around in the dark for things and the workplace is much safer with good lighting

Worth it if ya need it👍👍

Totally agree. Working in light vs darkness can change your whole outlook on the day

Looks lovely. Always trusting Milwaukee power tools & their LED light range.

I bought one of these, then my work subsequently bought 2 more after I brought it to a job site during a shit down.

Worked on a job site as a labour. I was asked to set the old school lights up from the boss, the worker that they where for told me not to because of the heat they’d put in the small room he was in. Really can’t go past led.

I'm a dewalt man myself. They have essentially the same light. I do HVAC residential rough ins. That things a life saver!

I'm not in construction anymore but stuff like this is useful in many ways. Still adding to my m18 line

Absolutely, I love mine!!

Worth every hard earned dollar Milwaukee always has great tools worth every dollar you paid

I absolutely love mine. I have had it for a couple years and it still looks like new. Amazing how much light it puts out

I like the halogen lights. They come in handy for warming up your coffee or lunch and serve as a nice little hand warmer on cold days

Power the way to go . Had one it was stolen after 3 days of use.

Have it. Absolutely worth it. Spent the same amount in other options over the years that are not near as good.

These lights are the best! I work in the dark often times and these things are so handy.They can really take abuse/dirt pretty much whatever. I have used them in pouring rain and as long as u can manage to keep the battery somewhat dry they will last for years. The only thing you need to keep an eye on is keeping the handle hardware tightened and a lil grease or lube on the part the handle slides up and down,if you’re going to be using it outdoors a lot. Milwaukee will even send you replacement hardware for the legs etc I’ve heard for free. Good buy bud!

After seeing your video I'm planning on buying one for hurricane season.

These are great, definitely recommend. I’ve used mine for everything from night fishing to pulling a transfer case at midnight on a backroad and everything in between. You didn’t mention the different settings the light has. From bright, to “oh, it must be daytime”

We use these at my work! They’re great, tough and reliable. Last a while on a single battery

I have the 6000lm model and I couldn't be happier with it. It's a portable sun. That "true hd light" thing they talk about is no joke, i was painting my front door from torsade to white and this thing allowed me easily see where it was a little fucked up. Late night BBQ. its bright enough to keep the whole party going and can keep it far enough to keep the bugs away; because it WILL attract every bug in the neighborhood.

I own the M12 one and got it on sale. I use it so much now. My life is now complete.

Game changer, especially when it gets dark around 3:30/4pm in winter on the east coast. And as a bonus, I took my daughter to the playground after the sun went down, and we were still able to see and do EVERYTHING. Love these things, I have three of them.

100% worth it ! I have 2 of them and use them daily. And they are awesome for camping no lanterns needed.

I think it's worth it. I was a refrigeration technician and this light came very handy when I had to replace a compressor at night. sometimes it would be pitch black about 1am. Trying to work with a small ass light is no fun. When I got this light it was the best investment I've ever got when working in the dark.

Warming up in the light of a halogen is a kind of ecstasy I'm not willing to give up

I loved those old lights. They doubled as a space heater.

Having a good cordless light that has the option to be corded if always worth it. Makes working with and around other trades so much easier and hassle free

Worth every penny. Never looked back!

My dad has two and we use them on our “off grid” farm at night! Great product

We have maybe 10 of these at work, they perform really well in an extreme industrial environment.

Absolutely, as an electrician I’ve got two myself for service changes, and renovation work. Definitely a great investment.

We have them on all our work trucks. I think they are great. Especially if you can plug them in. They last pretty long on a full battery charge.

I use to work in commercial. These tower lights are absolutely worth it

My recently deceased dad had the mini Milwaukee Work Lamp and my brother and I love it we will have to invest the tower too

So worth it had 2 of these at a brick plant we were working in and these were a godsend in the places we hadn’t put lights in yet

We have the lanterns that you can chain together and they come in so handy not just at work but for camping too

Shoulder mounted too, damn. Milwaukee is killing it!

I always liked how the halogen lights doubled as a heat lamp.

I just discovered those yellow tinted safety glasses. I can only assume they somehow take what little light there is in the area and help amplify the brightness for you to see. Those are a game changer for me. Especially when I'm working in the middle of the night. My headlamp and wear those glasses. Really helped me cause working in the dark always makes me kind of depressed.

100% worth it. I have the one with the 3 pivoting heads and it's so convenient being able to toss it down anywhere and lights the whole room or a large outside area.

Can confirm these things are nice to have in a dark room really only need one

I own one and I love it. Definitely worth buying.

My buddy and I used one of these as functional head lights when test driving his truck after dropping in na engine, 10/10 would recommend

I have had my tower light fishing and on job sites outside in the rain and still works perfectly

IT LOOKS SO COOL EVEN FOR A TOWER LIGHT

I use these around all sorts of job sites, bright and effective.

I've had one for almost 3 years and it's my go to almost all the time

HD had a sale where if you got a two pack of 6.0 batteries, you could get a free tool, I got the tower light and use it all the time. Power outages, camping, working on the car, home improvement, etc.

I usually just wear a head lamp. Saves a bunch of money and hasn't failed me yet

Yeah I have the same one. My favorite tool, 100% worth every penny

Milwaukee makes great stuff. I have a smaller lantern. Lasts for hours on fishing trips. 3 dimness settings. Works good lasts a long time.

I have one! It’s so freaking nice! I got the HD12 battery for it and it’ll stay lit on high for a super long time

Shit not a tradesmen or a mechanic but when I'm outside trying to fix my car I would greatly appreciate this

Every trailer in our company has one and it makes a big difference with angels and all

I also own one, and the answer is yes, it is so worth it if u have the money, I use it literally all the time for everything from nighttime volleyball, party in the patio, or strap it to a go cart for trail light🤣 it's awesome

We have these lights on all of our firetrucks. Truckies swear by em!!

Heck yes they are worth it. Have a Dewalt one at work and wouldn't want to go without it.

They are definitely worth it!!! I have one on my farm for after dark wagon unloading or other misc stuff.

Home depot had a deal, buy 2 batteries and get a free tool. I picked up this light as the included tool and use it all the time at work, camping, in the backyard, etc. It's super Convenient to have.

Got the one for my dewalt set and it’s nearly identical. Love it for when I’m on stilts!

I was over here thinking he was now replaced the halogen bulb with an LED bulb lol. But those new tripod lights are pretty cool

got mine on-sale for 119$ no battery been loving it for 2 years

This light was a game changer for me

I got the multi position head version of this in a kit. Very glad I got it. Mines also a charger so I normally keep my depleted batteries by the light, while it’s plugged in. I have a small hand work light, a battery led version of the halogen, head light, and the rocket light. I’m glad I have them all but really love the rocket light, I’m debating on getting this version too, for pathway/supplemental illumination

Definitely worth it. Imagine the possibilities: 1. Working in tight spaces that's dark 2. Emergency lighting incase of power cut. 3. Camping/outdoor light possiblity 4. No need for external power sources and you can easily work on electricals while the breaker is completely off It's absolutely a cool toy to consider adding to the collection.

Bought one when I worked on cell phone sites we’d still have to hang up string lights but it definitely helped.

Bought onè last week Thursday.... these dummies on site didnt warn us we were going powerless for the day. My work had to get done!!!

100% worth it, I got mine a little over a month ago and it’s perfect for jobs sites with out permanent power

Mine is constantly coming off of and going back into my van. So yes, I would purchase again. Use it at least every other job.

Those are cool. Literally. A fantastic investment.

Those halogen lights are great for brake jobs on a cool day.

Dads love expensive flashlights and this is literally the moment we’ve all been waiting for just seems annoying to carry around such a big tower in the truck but I’m for it 100%

as an apprentice in the trades - this thing is my child. Im called the god of light at work by always bringing the Milwaukee tower light with two fully charged batteries wherever we go.
