Metabo UB18DCQ4M 18V MultiVolt Li-Ion 11.8" Work Light (Tool Only)

Great work light. Super bright without being too large. Easy to carry and easy to store when not in use. Battery life with 2.0 a/h batteries is good.

The Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt LED Work Light was an absolute game-changer during my recent basement renovation, especially with the complete lack of existing lighting. As I moved through tasks like sanding drywall, installing flooring, and running new electrical lines, the LED work light provided reliable, bright illumination when I needed it most. The adjustable brightness feature allowed me to easily dial in the light to suit each task—ramping it up to the full 2,000-lumen output for detailed work or dimming it for softer ambient lighting when moving equipment around. One particularly useful feature was the blink indicator that lets you know when the light has reached its maximum 4,000-lumen brightness. Whenever the light started blinking, I knew I was getting the most intense lighting available, which was extremely helpful when working in darker corners of the basement or for precise tasks. This visual cue made it easy to see when I had the most power and brightness at my disposal. Switching the MultiVolt 36V battery into the light was a breeze. I had no trouble inserting the battery, and it locked in place securely, allowing the light to perform flawlessly throughout the day. The fact that it’s compatible with both 18V and 36V MultiVolt batteries made it extremely convenient, especially considering I already had other tools that use these batteries. It was great not having to worry about battery compatibility, and it made transitioning between tools seamless. The strong plastic outer body was another standout feature that proved invaluable. During the renovation, there was a lot of dust and debris flying around, and the light was bumped a few times, but the durable construction of the body kept it in great shape. The IP67 weather-resistant rating meant it was completely dust-tight and could withstand rain and even submersion in water, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The shockproof design ensured the light could handle the occasional bump or fall, making it a great option for tough job sites. The mounting feature with the threaded insert was a real asset, too. I mounted the light to a pole in the center of the basement, which allowed me to elevate it and direct the beam exactly where I needed it. With the 360-degree rotatable stand, I was able to position it for overhead tasks and tight spaces, providing maximum flexibility during my renovation. The USB port also turned out to be incredibly useful. While I was busy working, I was able to charge my phone directly from the light, which was a huge convenience when I needed to reference project plans or watch tutorials without worrying about my phone’s battery life. It’s one of those small features that adds a lot of value to an already impressive tool. When it comes to value for the price, the LED work light offers incredible performance at a reasonable cost. Considering the flexibility with both 18V and 36V batteries, the bright and adjustable light output, and the durable, well-built design, it’s hard to find a better option in this price range. The features and performance you get for the price make it an unbeatable value—especially for DIYers or professionals looking for a reliable, versatile work light for a variety of projects. In conclusion, the Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt LED Work Light was essential for my basement renovation. From its adjustable brightness, mounting flexibility, and USB charging to its durable construction and incredible value, it made the entire project smoother and more efficient. Whether you're working in an unfinished space like I was or need a reliable light for any number of tasks, this work light provides top-tier performance and is built to last, all at a price that’s hard to beat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great light for the jobsite! It can hold any size battery in the compartment from 2ah to 8ah. I appreciate that it is water resistant, as well as having multiple brightness settings. Good size and brightness for the jobsite when you need to add some light. Haven't used the usb charger yet but it's a nice feature to have. All in all I am happy with my purchase and expect the light to hold up for a long time.

I picked up one of these for framing basements. It worked great, and when we lost power and my house I used it to light up the house for the kids. On low it lasted all night with a 4.0 battery.

I like this light a lot. It is very bright and it’s a lot more heavy duty than I was expecting. I was honestly expecting the bracket to be plastic but it’s actually metal! Guessing cast aluminum? It’s nice and beefy and inspires confidence that it won’t be breaking any time soon, even with rough service. I also really like the keyhole on the bracket which allows you to easily mount the light to a wall with a single screw or nail. Also the brightness settings are nice. You can turn it down to the lowest, which is still pretty bright, and it’ll easily run all day on a fully charged 2.5/5.0 battery.

Extremely bright light and that sometimes can be a bad thing when you don’t need it, but this has a variable dial with several settings to fit your needs. Find my life a lot easier using the variable settings, not always being blinded when I don’t need it. Lightweight and compact is definitely a plus and tripod mount adds to its ease-of-use.

This work light is a must buy for both pros and diyers. It can hang on a screw in the wall or sit on anything. It’s rugged and can shine for hours on a large battery. If you use it on low power which is still bright, you can use it all day on a 36v battery. With two batteries, you’re unstoppable. I used this under the car, in the shade as a main source of light, and in the house to paint rooms. It can light up the yard at night. It’s the best work light I’ve ever had. You can also mount them on tripods. I’ve dropped it off an engine bay of a running car. It took only cosmetic damage from the pulleys and still runs great. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been extremely satisfied with this lightweight portable light. Projects a great amount of light for work or emergency.

This light is bright, but compact. I like that you get a large range of light levels.

I bought this light because I already have several metabo hpt tools. I do alot of bank river fishing on my time off from work. Fish mostly for catfish and carp. I'm bad to not keep my head lamp on at all times so I needed a good small flood light to turn on when I have a fish on so I can see what I'm doing. This light has really been the trick the adjustable brightness is awesome set it where you want it and have it on in just a second with a easy accessible button. Plus the dust and water rating is good other brands I was looking up didn't provide a sealed cover for where the battery goes. No go's for rain, mist etc. This is a really good floodlight and the price won't break your wallet. Doesn't seem to suck battery life down too bad either. Also nice to have the USB port to charge items on the go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really happy with the amount of light it puts out and especially how long the batteries last. It's very well built, the stand is amazing and I can tell it's going to last me a very long time. It's better than any of the other name brand lights I've used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super Bright and adjustable! My subs love my Metabo tools. They seem so surprised how much better they are and are even more surprised to hear the prices on these amazing tools are better that what they paid for their tools. This LED work light also has a USB port for charging your cellphone.

Really love how bright this is especially for the price. Can’t beat it. Love that you can charge your phone and can be hooked up on a stand. Great light

Good light output for various jobs at work or around the house. Very solidly built and smooth dimmer control. I like how the battery is protected from the elements (water, dust,debris,etc), and it has a tripod mount and usb output.

I got as a gift and used so much I picked up a second one. Great quality and great value and bright as can be

I was given this as a gift from my son. I have used it many times working with brakes on car and also diagnosed a electrical wiring issue in the attic of my home. The handle and ability to pivot and adjust brightness are really great features. Also was able to charge my phone when power went out. Love the option to hang it from the base or tripod mount. I would totally recommend this light to anyone.

Works perfect for inspecting sewer manholes do not look directly at the light unless you wanna go blind

Recently bought the 18v work light UB18DCQ4 and very happy with it Will light up your work area very well , even on lowest setting and battery last a long time

Picked up this light and was blown away. I’ve had numerous working lights through the years (corded and cordless). This one is by far the most robust built one I’ve ever come across. Super bright light and having a sealed battery compartment is just a bonus to the quality of construction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this several months ago to use while working in my basement for an area that did not have adequate available lighting. It lit up the area like the fourth of July and I highly recommend it.
