There are brighter lights on the market, but this light serves its purpose. I use it to add light to a small area, about the size of a desktop. It works very well for that on the medium setting. Battery life has been very good. The 180⁰/360⁰ directional option is a nice plus. The battery level button is also a useful feature. As others may mention, it can be knocked over, but the height of the light puts it at a useful height to throw light on a desk. All in all, I really love it for its overall function.

Durable, flexible, and plenty of light. I use it to walk the dogs, work on projects at night, lighting for nighttime gatherings, etc. It's been dropped and knocked off of tables/benches several times and still looks and works like new. It doesn't wear the batteries down very quickly, and the light doesn't bother your eyes if you happen to look at it while it's on at night. The strobe is hard on the eyes, but you'd want that if using it to get attention in an emergency. Great light at a reasonable price if you shop around a little bit.

Awesome light! With three brightness levels, and the ability to spread light in 360 degrees or 180 degrees, this light is about as good as it gets for general illumination. It lights a work area with a bright light. Or you can use it for an emergency power outage with all of those charged Milwaukee batteries you already own. And you can also keep you're phone charged with the USB outlet!

I bought this lantern because I needed a work light when I went into crawl spaces and basements. I debated on this or a m18 flashlight but I was more impressed by the features this light has. Instead of lighting up one spot, I'm able to illuminate everything around me. I'm sure it will also make its way into my camping bag as well as my tool bag. The three brightness settings are great, the 180/360 illumination setting is awesome, and the USB port is just the icing on the cake.

Rick gets it for work in the day time (Maintenance Supervisor). I get it at night for animal chores, darn old time change. We misplaced our darn lantern. So I bought this one used I missed having the little Milwaukee Lantern so much. With one of the little 12 volt batteries in it, it stayed on in the chicken house all night long during Hurricane Michael. We live in the country. Laurie Havana Florida

Awesome latern/multi-purpose light. Love the ability to have 3 brightness levels and strobe capability The 180-360° beam is a plus too. No more being blinded when holding the light. Color definition in objects is better than other lights. No more guessing when needing to cut the "red or green wire". Having a USB charging port @ 2.1a is handy out in the woods. Haven't used charging port enough to see how fast latern battery discharges. I would recommend this light to anyone. Another fine Milwaukee M18 tool!

I bought this more for if I get a power outage. I have lots of Milwaukee tools with a lot of batteries. I’ve tried it and it’s bright. Definitely will do the trick. I’ve been lucky so far that haven’t had a power outage to actually use the lantern.

This lantern is just wonderful. You can have it put all the light pointing away from you or have it shine the light in all directions. It also has 3 output levels plus a strobe mode. Since it uses the 12v batteries like so many other Milwaukee products there should be plenty of those laying around to power it up. It can sit on a flat surface or can hang from built in hangers. There is also a USB port so you can power or charge USB devices from it. This port is switched on and off separately form the light itself. So even it you have gone to bed and don't need light it can still supply power to your USB device. It also has a built in battery gauge so you don't have to guess about how much charge is in the battery in the unit. I have found that it draws so little power that it can be used all weekend on just one battery.Read full review

For Work, Hunting & Fishing this is hands down the best light I have ever used. At the boat ramp, fish cleaning stations, camping, and finding game (awesome blood light), even Ice Fishing & around the home/shop I always use these. If you want a lantern style light, that can be used anywhere, you will not be disappointed. I'd rate the light output similar to a propane lantern, but easy to use like a flashlight. With a 5.0 battery I have never ran out of power, even fishing all night. Stop buying propane & fuel, especially if you already have the M18 batteries. The USB charger is great if you need to charge your phone or tablet while in the outdoors. Milwaukee did an amazing job designing these lights.

I bought this lantern because it was highly rated on a YouTube video that I watched. I didn't have it very long before my wife needed some more light while stamping & then coloring some Christmas Cards that she was making. It was an immediate hit with her. A day or two later, what started as water coming from "who knows where" on our kitchen counter top turned into a complete faucet replacement. I had the light under the sink as I was working on that little jewel of a project. The lantern can throw a lot of light (it has 3 light intensity levels) & was an immediate hit with me. Have also used it in a couple of rooms where I needed to clean the carpets. I wanted to find & pretreat some spots before I went over the entire carpet with the larger carpet cleaner. This light, when held above the carpet, made the spots "jump out" at me. Do I like this light? You bet I do. Am not guessing at how it might work. It works great. Read full review
