Milwaukee Tool has announced a new RedLithium USB LED neck light, model 2117-21.
Neck lights are typically used for hands-free illumination, as an alternative to head lamps or mounted worklights.
Milwaukee says that their new LED neck light delivers premium lighting for inspection work and general tasks, providing durability and adaptability with complete light head adjustability.
The design is straightforward. There are two light heads, left and right, with a pushbutton control on the right side. The battery box is at the rear.
Both light heads can be independently angled, with a 90° vertical articulation range.
The neck light has 3 output modes, delivering a maximum of 400 lumens of Milwaukee TrueView high-definition output.
You can expect for up to 2-1/2 hours of runtime at high brightness with a 3Ah RedLithium USB battery. The batteries can be quickly swapped for prolonged operation.
Or, lift the dust flap and recharge the neck light via USB-C.
Milwaukee promised that their future lighting products would recharge via USB-C, and they made good on this.
Milwaukee press materials add that:
