The BML185W is a newer version of the blue BML185 and takes both 1.5Ah and 3.0Ah batteries.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.

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.

This is a good light, but I'm a little disappointed in its light output. I was hoping for a little more brightness. On the "bright" side, the battery life is incredible.

Honest reviews on Makita BML185W 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Flashlight

Pros; Great flashlight, that I have been using frequently for 3 months. It seems more rugged than the previous "green" 12V light. It has a rubber-like overmold that improves grip, feel, and impact resistance. The pivot is more solid than on the 12v light which also adds to its more durable feel. The lithium battery is much lighter and recharges quickly. The charge lasts for more hours of use partially due to the way the light operates as it runs out of charge. The light doesn't get dim when the battery is low, but shuts off about 3 seconds after you turn it on. You can still finish the job, but you know you need to get a charged battery.

Cons: None so far

It's bigger than I expected, build quality not a nice as the current 18V LXT drills, but hey....it's a flashlight. When the battery gets low, it just shuts off instead of normal, lights fading to dim. I was actually expecting something more from Makita with the product as it's not the brightest either. I've used similar products from Dewalt, Ryobi, older 9V Makita, and none are perfect.

Just don't expect to much and you'll really like this light. I've recently switched from all Dewalt tools to Makita 18V LXT and I'm happy overall. It's worth having matching equipment with a single charger / battery setup than multiple tools and chargers to tote around.
