The durable, adaptable Redlithium USB Neck Light from Milwaukee Tool delivers strong lighting for close inspection work and general tasks in those hard-to-see places.

Milwaukee Tool has added a neck-mounted light to its Redlithium USB product offering.

According to the manufacturer, providing 45% brighter illumination with a longer run time than competitive products, the durable, adaptable Redlithium USB Neck Light delivers strong lighting for close inspection work and general tasks in those hard-to-see places.

With complete lighting head adjustment, the USB neck light adapts to users' lighting needs, offering 90 degrees of vertical rotation to aim the light in different directions.

Value proposition

The Redlithium USB product line from Milwaukee Tool employs advanced LED technology and optical designs for more efficiency on the jobsite, embodying rechargeable convenience and performance, where maintaining a compact size is critical. The company says the products eliminate downtime associated with other rechargeable solutions due to slow charge speed or integrated batteries.

According to the manufacturer, capable of being charged either on the product or on a separate charger, and with a 3X faster charge time, with the Redlithium USB Neck Light is good for over 2,000 recharges, eliminating dependency on disposable batteries in situations of extended use.

With a sweat-resistant band for increased comfort, the USB Neck Light is designed to supply the best-in-class lighting on even the messiest job sites. The proprietary Trueview Technology utilizes the most advanced LED components and optical designs to deliver a consistent beam, optimized color temperature, and true representation of colors and detail, leading to a more productive work area, notes Milwaukee Tool.

Featuring a press and hold power button, the neck light features three output modes delivering up to 400 Lumens of Trueview High-Definition Output and two and half hours of run-time on high.
