Milwaukee 2132-20 M12 Rocket Dual Power Tower Light

This light is super awesome for unfinished basements and places like that but after a couple of times of using it i noticed it wasnt turning on. So after some inspecting i noticed on of the metal connector poles in the battery area was missing and it looked like it was broken clean off so ill have to check one of my batterys to see if its stuck in there. Really liked using this light, i dont know if it is just mine or if its a common problem

As an electrician, I spend time working in the dark (literally, not metaphorically! ) I've used all different kinds, from brooder lights to head lights and a lot between. This light can light a room very well, and even works great outdoors. As with other Milwaukee LED lamps, the light quality is great and easy on the eyes. Since it is self-supporting, I can use it anywhere without fumbling around for a place to mount it. Yet, it is very compact when collapsed. I like how balanced it is when I carry it. The fact its dual powered gives much flexibility.

There are a couple of things that don't work for me, which bums me out. Hitting the final stops when extending it is hit or miss. This means a lot of times a gnat could simply fart on it and the light head will slide down on its own. I fear the catch on it will loosen to point where the head won't stay up. Other times the head won't slide down when I'm done using it, only sliding after some effort. I do note the tripod itself is robust and I've not observed any instability.

My other quibble, as noted by others is that it is difficult to remove the battery. A charger would be cool, but I suspect it would add weight and increase the size, thereby removing significant size advantages.

I would recommend this, even with the sliding down issue. It's that good of a product. However, I would be grateful if Milwaukee can find a reasonable solution to this. It would then be an unbeatable product.

I use it in mechanical rooms. I mainly use the plug in feature; unless theres no outlet around. Light collapses too easily, but whatever...

I've had this light for a couple weeks now and overall I am very pleased. It was actually brighter than I thought it was going to be a easily lights up an entire bedroom. The only downfall is that I can barely remove the battery. I literally had to take it to work so I could old the light while my co worker tried to take the battery out. So now I just use the plug in feature.
