FAQs
What is the maximum brightness of the DML811?
The Makita DML811 boasts a maximum brightness of 3000 lumens.
Can I use the worklight in rain?
Yes, the DML811 is IP65 certified, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for damp conditions.
How long does a fully charged battery last?
Run time varies by battery capacity and brightness setting. With a 5.0Ah LXT battery, it can provide up to 13 hours of run time on the lowest setting.
Does this package include batteries?
The product information indicates the DML811 worklight itself does not typically include batteries or a charger; these are usually sold separately or as part of a kit. The included package in the description is for 2 x DML811 Lights and 1 x Tripod Stand.
How do I adjust the angle of the light?
A knob is provided on the light head to adjust its angle, allowing rotation up to 240 degrees.
What is the 'memory setting' feature?
The memory setting allows the worklight to retain the last brightness adjustment you used, so it powers on to your preferred setting.
Is the tripod stand included with the DML811?
The specific product information states a tripod stand is included in *this* package along with two DML811 lights. However, the DML811 worklight is also available for purchase separately, in which case the tripod may not be included.
Troubleshooting
Worklight does not turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted, or check that the AC power cord is securely connected to both the light and a working outlet.
Light flickers or is dim
Check battery charge level. If using AC power, inspect the cord for damage. Try a different brightness setting.
Worklight is not recognized by charger
Ensure the battery terminals are clean. Try a different LXT battery to rule out a battery issue.
Low battery indicator stays on
Replace or recharge the LXT battery. Run time will be significantly reduced.
