Great light for LXT owners

The BML185W is a newer version of the blue BML185 and takes both 1.5Ah and 3.0Ah batteries. When used with the 1.5Ah batteries, this is very light and powerful flashlight. The on/off switch also works well. If you are looking for an 18V LXT flashlight, get this one if you want to use 1.5Ah batteries.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

White or Blue which to choose
I have the White and Blue LXT 18v drills and the Blue flashlight and was tricked into thinking I needed this White version of the LXT 18V flashlight because the White LXT batteries do not fit the Blue LXT style flashlights or drills etc. But upon receiving the new White flashlight it was quite clear that the Whites and the Blues are identical even the part numbers what Makita had done to prevent using White batteries on Blue tools was to place a plastic stop tab in the sliding groove of their tools, a sharp utility knife took care of it and now I can use any battery on which ever tool I desire. I think that was low down of Makita to pull a stunt like that to boost sales that is why I am giving it one star. PS I guess this method will work on any of their accessories ie Radios, etc.

A great flashlight!
I received the Makita light weight 18V drill free when I purchased a Makita 12inch sliding compound miter saw a few months ago. I am really impressed with the light weight and power the drill has, so I wanted a portable worklight to go with. I ordered this one and it is just like the drill, very light weight and powerful. You won’t be dissapointed.
