Greetings brother lineman, from me and my family all the way from Flagstaff Arizona USA. Thank you for the review I need a light just like that for those dark desert nights. Lol I have the same exact old beat up spot light on my bucket truck also I'm amazed yours still moves mine stoped 6 months ago 😅. Be safe brother 🙏

We've been using various Milwaukee LED worklights and flashlights for years. Nice thing too, their LEDs are very high quality and colors look right like halogen. This is important for electricians needing to see colors correctly! 🙂

You blew my mind with the demo in the snow ! I'm down here in Texas and man you did a great demo and I'm ordering mine today thanks man!

Wow that’s insane, as soon as you turned on the miluakee the comparison was over, I can’t believe they can make a light that bright.

One of the first things I remember learning is that the two things that burn up batteries the fastest are lights and motors :-)

Great review Aaron. Just outfitted a new “bread van” with all Milwaukee tools. Everything is awesome. We ordered a smaller LED light, magnetic base, to use inside a breaker cabinet. So bright. 👊🏻

By far the best video on this product that's out right now.

Great Review PG&E Here in California is starting to switch to a similar light installed by their truck outfitter! I have covered a few Vehicle vs Pole scenes and can see a big difference.

Awesome light👍...in need of this spot/ flood light..pulling stand by duty now..what's up everyone fr Az👍

Ooo i need to get this. The hand held milwaukee light works better than the streamlight also but it would be great to have something like this to work storm at night or at anytime we work in the dark.

Love the 12.0 batts. Awesome to know this comes with one. I was thinking about buying the mower when it comes available and just selling the mower as tool only. Last I checked that package " deal " will be 999. At that price point I may as well just buy two 12.0 new and forget the mower package but surely there will be some deal in the near future of said mowers release date that will make it worth it. If its only 50 bucks, well then thats 50 bucks I can spend filling half my tank! Or doing other fun activities such as drinking my free time away.

Nice light! T/M’s are tryin them out now. So Cal

The 12.0AH batteries are great, they work well with the table saw, and they run the other Milwaukee lights for eons

That's a bright one .like you can use it two different ways thanks for the video on this light young man 😎

Seems like a decent lighting accessory. The only thing I'd be curious about is how long that battery might last if it was stored in the toolbox for a few weeks in below zero weather. Of course, that's a problem with most any battery and even a cell phone needs to be inside your jacket just to maintain some battery life.

13:20 looks like a good one.

Quality light, but a tad rich for my game. I'd like one I can bolt to the truck and power off of the onboard 12v or 120v system (I run 5100WH of LiFePo4 on my truck with solar and a 100A alternator charging). That being said, I like everything about this light but the $1150 us price tag. Thanks for a great review, I don't know as I'd bother fooling with a new light in -25. Stay safe (and warm) out there!

You can buy the light on it's own and power it from 12V he shows that in the video. Plus he says in the video that it's cheaper without the base or battery included. Perhaps it may be still in your range to look at it. Have a good day

I have seen those lights on the newer trucks here in St Stephen,NB

Get a clear acrylic dome and put on top of the whole entire light. That should keep the snow and ice from getting into it

You can try to add a duck tape skirt to help cover that rotation joint. ?

When looking for a burnt bridge or a broken wire, good lighting is the basis for work at night.

If you happen to have two or more lights on the same vehicle or two vehicles with two lights will the remotes interfere with each other or are the remotes programmable to specific lights

👊👊

The handheld streamlight is a very nice light.....curious have you looked at or own Milwaukees m18 searchlight and if so have you compared it to your current streamlight handheld?

The interior of the truck is warm, right? How about arranging for a little of that warm air to leak up under the light mount?

I wonder how it would compare to the led go light

About the remote: what happens when there is more than one light in range? E.g. Each truck at a job could have a light, or you could have an additional light on the bucket.

I wish we could get that in the UK...maybe they'll make it available one day 😢

Aaron just curious. Do you have to buy this or does your company get this for you?

It's still on my shelf, but the Milwaukee is holding strong so far!

Hello from London Ohio

What was that other Milwaukee thing in the background? Sort of looks like a laser level tripod or something.

Hey im hoping someone could shed some light. How are single phase transformer secondaries' center tap grounded (once bonded; neutral) actually bonded to earth? Why can you bond one terminal of the secondary without high resistance and thus a short? Is there a resistor between center tap neutral and bond of single phase? Or is there some sort of work being done (is this why transformers heat up, (as well as eddy currents causing heat)) Why is there no ground fault between your center tap (which is an ungrounded hot conductor until it is bonded to earth?) and earth? There is no relation until it is bonded so is this why? Is it because the easiest path is still to the transformer secondary, rather than to ground, and thus not allowing the breaker to sense the current, causing a short? Is neutral technically a hot conductor, just at ground potential?

*Drools in flashlight envy

Should be easy to make a cover for the light when truck is sitting there in winter. Then you can just remove that as you move out or something.

My buddy might pick one up for his boat! That's a good question 🤔. I would imagine you can, but definitely something to look into.

You could shave down the head of the bolt on your old light so the light doesnt hit it… or replace the bolt with one that had a shorter head.

$1150 Too pricey for me! But diffidently bright! In Northern California near the Oregon boarder.

Man, I want one and I'm retired with no use for it.

If it’s only battery operated I wonder how the batteries will be in the cold. When I work with my Milwaukee tools and it’s cold out the batteries say full charged but they die pretty fast and easy.

The particular product I received as a trial, but with no compensation or sponsorship. We did however also purchase some other units. The tag at the start of the video is in place just to cover that grey area. (Where this specific unit is a trial) Most battery tools we buy for our fleet now are Milwaukee... When new products come out specific for our trade Milwaukee is extremely diligent in receiving feedback from its users and often monitors online content/comments. Any major issues are often corrected or altered within its design as a result. 🙌

"Uh so the reviews done guys." Yeah I'd say so, bye other light.

1st off why would buy such a thing to put on a big corporations work truck. Eqipment an tools are the responsibility of the corporation. 2nd. Installing eqipment on corporations eqipment is a huge no no. Hell I got in shit for putting a couple hard wires led work lights on my company 1 ton welding truck. Being I'd be 30 to 50 miles from the paper Mills logging camp working on company eqipment in 40 to 50 below night shift welding by my self. Yes the company truck had helgen work lights on it but them supper hot lights would alway burn out from bouncing down skid roads. Bulldozed winter roads over frozen swamps. They were led work lights from the company camp shop tool an supply crib. But I didnt clear it with camp Forman. I charged 3 lights out to the numbered company truck.

$1150.00 😂👌🏻 thanks but I'll pass
