Makita DML801 18V LXT Cordless 12-LED Flashlight — 240 Lumens

Overview

The Makita DML801 is a compact, cordless flashlight designed to illuminate tight workspaces with versatility. With a 12-LED array, it can deliver up to 240 lumens at full brightness, offering a bright, reliable beam when you need it most. The lightweight body is powered by Makita’s 18V LXT system, so you can pair it with your existing batteries for extended use on any project.

Adjustable lighting for any situation

Flexibility is built in. The flashlight head folds up and down across 7 positive stops and can rotate left to right, allowing you to aim the beam precisely where you need it. A sturdy metal hook swivels 360° and folds away when not in use, giving you hands-free options for overhead tasks or ceiling work.

Two brightness modes to balance light and runtime

Choose between two modes with a simple on/off switch: full brightness with 12 LEDs (240 lumens) for detailed tasks, or a half-brightness mode with 6 LEDs (120 lumens) for longer run times when you don’t need maximum illumination. This dual-mode design helps manage energy use without switching tools.

Long runtimes on a single battery

When paired with a 5.0Ah 18V LXT battery (sold separately), the DML801 offers up to 17 hours of continuous light in the 12-LED mode and up to 40 hours in the 6-LED mode. These figures reflect real-world efficiency for extended projects, outages, or outdoor use.
