Milwaukee M12SL-0 Stick Light

Milwaukee M12SL-0 Stick Light is a compact, high‑performance LED illumination solution designed for professionals who demand reliable lighting in tight spaces and demanding work environments.

Key Features & Design

• Compact Body: The lightweight, cylindrical housing measures just 3.5 inches (88 mm) long, making it easy to maneuver in confined areas such as engine bays, electrical panels, and underground conduits.
• Durable Construction: Built with a rugged ABS plastic shell that resists impact, vibration, and temperature extremes. The body is sealed against dust and moisture (IP65 rating), ensuring dependable operation in wet or dusty work sites.
• Integrated Mounting Hook: A built‑in metal hook allows the light to be hung on a tool belt, pegboard, or other surface without additional accessories.
• High‑Brightness LED Array: Three 12 V, 3 W LEDs provide up to 220 lumens of bright, white light (6500 K) with a wide beam spread that illuminates a broad area while maintaining focus on the task at hand.
• TrueView Technology: The LED driver incorporates TrueView circuitry for instant illumination and smooth power delivery, reducing flicker and extending battery life when paired with compatible M12 batteries.
