I have one of the M12 flood lights and I find that I don't use it as much as I would like to because the color output is too "warm" and doesn't provide as much clarity as my Dewalt 20v light that outputs a white "cool" light. My garage lighting is all 5000k which is probably also why I want flashlights that match.

I noticed today that Milwaukee has another M12 light. It looks like a very usable size. Does anyone have one? Is the color output warm or cool?

Just ordered that light from Summit as HD didn't have them in stock. Thanks for the recommendation, can't wait to get it!
 
Not comparable to the 1200 lumen Milwaukee, but I have two of these that I've used for years now. They are extremely bright for a small battery, with three light modes, including a spot light on the end. The magnet is very powerful, to the point where you have to be careful to only detach it from a metal surface by the the light base.

Also, I purchased a charger, along with commonly available rechargeable batteries.

I also have been using the HF light. I've been happy with it. But I've also been wanting more light, I really like to see.

The HF light also gets tossed in my trail bag, it's a handy light. Can even magnet it to the underside of the hood for engine work.

Given the collection of Ryobi tools I've been using for years, I only have one Milwaukee tool now, a 3/8 Ratchet. However, the innovative and high performing tools they're bringing to market, like the light Blaine posted, are pushing me in that direction!

My best description of it so far since Kat got it for me at Christmas is the light I didn't know I needed until I got it.

I didn't know it existed until you pointed it out and I've been looking at adding Milwaukee lighting. The videos sold me on it.

Thanks for posting the Milwaukee part number 2126-21XC. Blaine’s link randomly redirects to other products sold at the Home Depot. Kinda surprising when it takes you to a pressure washer or paint when you expect to see the light 😁
