The Benefits of MTB Power Tool Battery Site Lights

An effective site light needs to combine power, portability and versatility. Failure to meet this criteria can leave you without an effective light on a job, slowing down working speed and putting you at risk of being left in the dark. This is where an MTB site light steps in. These site lights are powered by leading powertool batteries, giving you the versatility to use batteries you already own for other power tools.

This has several key advantages:

Reduced downtime – Traditional site lights need recharging when they run out of power. With an MTB site light you simply pop in a pre-charged power tool battery and you can start working again.

Extended product lifecycle – One of key failure points of small electronics, such as site lighting, is faulty batteries. With an MTB site light this failure point is eliminated, as if a battery is faulty, you can simply swap it out for another one.

Better for the environment – MTBs have a significantly lower carbon footprint, as they don’t have their batteries included. Instead utilise batteries that already have a shared platform.

Multi site/multi user – MTBs can be shared by multipe users on multipe sites, where there may be numerous different types of batteries in circulation. If one worker has a Makita battery set up, but they are away from the site, then a colleague who uses DeWalt can borrow an MTB site light and usE their battery set up instead.
