Milwaukee RedLithium USB Flashlight Specifications While you might be tempted to look at other options out there, it becomes a very compelling solution when considering it as part of a system of personal lighting with the headlamp and flood light along with a limited lifetime warranty. Getting a rechargeable, adjustable focus light in this output range from Coast or LEDLenser will set you back well over $100. I like the hidden design, though, so I would rather deal with the stick than see it moved to the exterior.Īt $69, this light is priced well in its category of medium size rechargeable flashlights. That will ensure you can bend it back in place when the inevitable happens.Īs for minor improvements, I’d just like to see the focus be a twist motion rather than a push/pull and find a way to keep that charging port from sticking quite so much. I’d strengthen it and ensure it’s easily removable when you twist the back cap off. My big suggestion for improvement is in the belt clip. The focusing beam, solid output, and size are all major pluses along with onboard recharging and easy battery changes when needed. I really like the overall design of the Milwaukee RedLithium USB Flashlight. Compared to my non-diffused lights, this may hurt the throw distance some, but it makes using the light for a work area easier on my eyes. There’s a diffuser on the lens that helps soften the light a bit. It becomes more viable when you slide the focus to flood, where the center casts a more neutral throw and the warm tones move to the corona. The side of the beam is warmer toned than the center, so it’s tough to see the neutral color with a spot beam. Milwaukee uses their TrueView 5000 K LED in this light, but it’s not as obvious as it is on the large work lights.

Realistically, though, I usually end up in full spot or flood and not in between. I personally prefer a twist focus since it helps me dial in the exact amount of flood/spot combination I’m looking for. There’s a slide focus for the lens to move between spot and flood beams. So if you do bend it out (that’s nearly a guarantee for me), you’ll have a hard time bending it back. I like having it there, though the strength is on the weaker side for the size. It appears to be removable, but in practice, it really doesn’t want to go anywhere. You’ll find a similar, though smaller, design on Milwaukee’s Hardline folding knives. The belt clip is very knife-esque in its design. Anything else is relegated to the gift pile for birthdays and Christmas. Nearly every flashlight I carry for jobsite and recreational outdoor use share this thanks to the toughness it brings.

The most obvious is the metal construction. You’ll see similar features on a smaller scale with this model.
