This redesign is quite nice...no more click spots for aiming, it's a smooth rotation adjustment and you can leave it where you'd like instead of a click point preset. I only wish I could aim it at the base so on could protect the lens while in storage or transport.
Secondly, the plug is now protected, big bonus for durability!
Third! Run times are exceeding the original one WHILE, at the same time, giving brighter output in all modes! Great improvement and actually the only reason I bought it because I was perfectly happy with the original.
Buuuut, BUT .... Milwaukee missed HUGE here.... they should've added a charger option on the second generation! It not only would've justified the purchase more, to those of us that already own version one, but it would've made this tool sooo much more versatile and way more desirable! The thing is already pretty big... fitting in a mosfet, heat sink and few other bits to allow this to charge while plugged in would've made this light an absolute home run! As it stands it's a solid triple and I do not regret buying it just for more Light and more runtime. But....a charging feature would've been so so sweet!....and I would've been ok paying a few extra bucks for that. .....something to think about Milwaukee! Oh, I'd love to help you with R&D or even just spitballing ideas.....Milwaukee, call me. ;)
