Milwaukee M18 Dual-Power Triple-Panel Flood Light Performance
- Max Light Output: 4500 lumens
- Modes: low/medium/high
- Runtime: 30 hrs (low, with 5.0Ah battery)
Light Output and Quality
When you need to light up your workspace, the Milwaukee 2368 flood light has your back. It features three panels that deliver up to 4,500 lumens of high-definition light, thanks to Milwaukee’s TrueView LEDs.
There are three brightness settings to choose from—low, medium, and high. But you can also alternate which panels you illuminate using the Mode button, allowing you to prioritize between max output or longer runtime.
The light’s color temperature is slightly on the warmer side, somewhat akin to natural sunlight. We tend to prefer this type of light because it’s not as harsh as some of the bluish-white LED lights. Additionally, colors are more accurately represented and small text, like part numbers, is easier to read.
Runtime
Nailing down an exact runtime figure is a little tricky with this light because there are multiple output and brightness modes. Luckily, Milwaukee provides a pretty helpful breakdown.
| Low | Medium | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Panel | 400L 30 hrs | 650L 18 hrs | 1,500L 8 hrs |
| Two Panels | 800L 16 hrs | 1,300L 9 hrs | 3,000L 4 hrs |
| Three Panels | 1,200L 11 hrs | 2,000L 6 hrs | 4,500L 3 hrs |
Of course, thanks to Milwaukee’s dual-power system, you can get unlimited runtime if you hook the light up to a 120V power source. Additionally, this light is fully compatible with all Milwaukee M18 batteries.
360° Illumination
Like we saw with the Milwaukee M12 Packout Flood Light, the 2368’s center panel can both pivot and swivel, giving you 270° x 270° rotation. Moreover, the two outer panels pivot up to 240° and can fold backward to form a triangle, giving you nearly complete light coverage on the jobsite.
So what does this mean in real life terms? It’s ideal for both area lighting and as a standard work light. Plus, its compact design is great for working in attics, crawlspaces, and even under the hood thanks to the magnetic base.

- Model: Milwaukee 2368

- Weight: 6.75 lbs. (bare tool), 8.3 lbs. (with 5.0Ah battery)
Size and Weight
The Milwaukee 2368 weighs in at 6.75 pounds as a bare tool, and 8.3 pounds with a Milwaukee M18 5.0Ah battery. With the panels upright, it stands 12.25 inches tall, and collapses down to 6.75 inches when not in use.
This compact design allows it to fit neatly inside a Packout toolbox, on a shelf in your workshop, or simply in the backseat of your truck or work van.
Mounting Options
Milwaukee gives you several mounting options to suit a variety of situations. In the base, there are two 4-position keyholes, four pairs of magnets, and a folding rafter hook. There are also four low-profile foot pads, so it’s safe on sensitive surfaces.
The only thing that it’s missing is some kind of threaded tripod mount in the base. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it is handy to have as an option with this style of light.
Additional Features
- Robust roll cage
- IP54 ingress rating
- Drop rated from 9 feet
