Milwaukee RedLithium USB Rechargeable Flashlights

Milwaukee RedLithium USB Flashlight

As one of the classics that kicked off the line of Milwaukee USB rechargeable lights, we start with the 2110-21. It sports a traditional flashlight design with a few bells and whistles that set it apart from other LED flashlights on the market.

The Milwaukee RedLithium USB flashlight features a durable aluminum frame with a pocket clip and IP67 protection from water and dust. A sliding beam adjustment lets you transition from spot to flood settings with a 155-meter throw with its maximum 700-lumen output of high-def TrueView light.

But, rather than rely on AA batteries that need regular replacing, the Milwaukee 2110-21 is powered by a RedLithium rechargeable battery (you’ll notice this as one of the hallmark features of every light on this page). After the maximum 16 hours of runtime has exhausted the battery, you simply plug your cable into the hidden port to bring the battery back up to full in under 2 hours.

The Milwaukee Low Profile Headlamp only sits a mere 1″ deep, yet it fires off 600 lumens of high definition light. If running out of power is a concern, this model features an ECO setting that cast 25 lumens for up to 27 hours.

It can sit further out of your field of vision, too, because the rechargeable battery pack straps to the back of your head rather than on the light itself. This balances the weight rather than making you feel forehead-heavy.
