Milwaukee 2116–21 Hard Hat Light Review: A Bright Idea
Explore the Milwaukee 2116–21 Hard Hat Light, a versatile, rechargeable beacon with a 125m beam and 5 light modes. Ideal for safety and lighting up any workspace.
I recently found myself in possession of the Milwaukee 2116–21 USB Rechargeable BEACON Hard Hat Light, a product name so lengthy it seems to be compensating for something. Despite its verbose title, I was strangely intrigued by its promises of illumination prowess. This little gadget boasts a 125-meter spot beam distance and five dazzling light output modes that range from a short-lived but intense hybrid spot/flood to a delicate whisper of a flood low that claims to last 20 hours. There’s even a BEACON personal safety light with enough endurance to outshine the average suburban power outage — 30 hours, if you can believe it, whether it’s set to steady or blinking. It snaps onto a universal hard hat with a pair of clips, eager to brighten up the dreariest of workplaces. And the cherry on top? The REDLITHIUM USB battery rockets to half a charge in under 30 minutes and fully recharges in two hours. As someone who frequently struggles to light my path both literally and metaphorically, this hard hat light might just be the sort of practical luminary I need in my life.
