Milwaukee M12 LED Metal Flashlight Redefines Versatility, Brightness and Durability

Words: Katherine O'tooleMilwaukee Tool continues to expand the industry’s largest family of high output lighting solutions with the introduction of the M12™ LED Metal Flashlight. Designed to bring new levels of productivity and utility to users both on and off the jobsite, the new Flashlight was born through jobsite research with core users who sought a brighter, tougher flashlight that ran off of a rechargeable battery pack.

Capable of producing 800 lumens of output on its high mode, the Flashlight can also cast a beam up to 375 yards when in its spot mode. In its low mode, it still outperforms many industry-leading flashlights — producing 325 lumens, and offering run-times up to 7 hours. Through its Milwaukee® designed optic lens, it can cast a wide and evenly lit flood beam or a tight center beam with a soft surrounding halo.

Equipped with TRUEVIEW™ High definition features, this Flashlight utilizes the most advanced lighting technology to deliver a consistent beam, optimized color temperature, and true representation of colors and detail leading to a more productive work area.

The M12™ LED Metal Flashlight’s sliding head makes adjusting the beam from a tight spot to wide flood quick and effortless, and its uniquely contoured shape offers multiple ergonomic gripping positions. It offers three output modes, for high intensity, extended run-time or strobe use, and features independent power and mode buttons for easier control.

The Flashlight’s body is constructed of 6000 series aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and delivers superior impact durability. It also features hard anodized finish to protect against scratching, and its sealed connections allow it withstand IP54 ingress dust and water resistance testing.

Powered by Milwaukee RED LITHIUM batteries*, the new M12™ LED Metal Flashlight is compatible with the M12™ cordless system, now offering more than 70 power tool products. Committed to its focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology, Milwaukee® will continue to design and develop lighting solutions with the ability to adapt, perform and survive the demands of professional use.
