    Style E

    A mounting clip at the base lets you attach these lights to nearby surfaces.
    Style A—Style A have a built-in LED, so they're thinner than other styles. This makes them a good choice for tight locations. They're also cool to the touch.
    Styles B and C—Styles B and C work with standard household screw-in bulbs. A reflector behind the bulb distributes the light evenly.
    Style D—Style D work with standard household screw-in bulbs. A reflector behind the bulb distributes the light evenly. They also have a wire cage to protect the bulb from damage.
    Style E—Style E work with standard household screw-in bulbs. A reflector behind the bulb distributes the light evenly. They also have a reflector that’s polycarbonate, so it stays cool to the touch.

    Clip On

    Clip or clamp these lights near your work to illuminate what you’re working on without lighting up the whole room. Powered by a rechargeable battery, they’re often used in spaces where an outlet isn’t available. Point them in any direction—the flexible arm holds its position once set.
    Clip On—Clip-on lights are sized for small surfaces, such as clipboards and books.

    Light

    Light up your work from under your brim. These lights clip onto the rim of a cap or hard hat to keep your hands free from holding a flashlight. They have LED bulbs, which are brighter and less hot than incandescent and halogen bulbs. You can adjust how many lights you have on—one, three, or all five. Or you can set the lights to flash.

    Web Conferencing Lights

    Look your best on video calls—these lights provide even, shadow-free lighting for a bright and natural look. Brightness and light appearance are adjustable. Choose warmer tones for a natural glow or cooler tones for enhanced detail. For softer light, slide the silicone diffuser over the lens. All run on a battery for cord-free use, but you can keep them charging while they’re on if you’d like.

    Cordless Portable Work Lights for Milwaukee Rechargeable Batteries

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Portable Work Lights. Cordless Portable Work Lights for Milwaukee Rechargeable Batteries, Style B.

    Style B

    Power these lights with the same battery as your other cordless tools. They run on a Milwaukee M18 battery (sold separately) to light up work where there’s no outlet. Their head pivots to aim light where you need it, and they’re small enough to easily move from workspace to workspace. Ideal for tough jobsites, their plastic lens resists impact. You can use them outdoors and in other wet areas—rated IP54, they’re sealed against splashing liquid and humidity. They’ll also work in dusty conditions.
    Note: Battery life depends on the size of your battery.
    Style B—Style B can clamp onto 1”-3” dia. pipes. They also have a magnetic base to mount to most metal surfaces. Their head pivots horizontally and vertically.
