Lighting is a fast-growing segment of the tool industry with many new products illuminating the dark spaces of the jobsite. Milwaukee hopes to brighten up the space further with four new Milwaukee high output LED jobsite lighting solutions ranging from 1,000 to 4,400 lumens available in October.

The rotating and pivoting light head can be extended from 4 feet to 7 feet and the unit collapses to 40″ for transport and storage.
“Our users need task and area lighting that can be easily set up, provide high output light in numerous directions for precise light placement and is built to thrive in whatever environment they’re in.
