Festool LM-OF 1010 R LED Light Module – Rechargeable Router Lighting Accessory
At a Glance: Original Festool LM-OF 1010 R LED light module, designed for retrofitting to compatible Festool OF 1010 R routers manufactured from September 2021 onwards. Features a circular LED light ring integrated into the router base for virtually shadow-free illumination directly around the cutting area. Offers two selectable brightness levels, a removable rechargeable battery unit with USB-C charging, and up to 6 hours of operating time per charge. The light ring can remain permanently installed while the battery unit is removed for convenient charging. Supplied complete with the LED light ring and rechargeable battery unit.
Bring greater visibility, precision and confidence to your routing work with the Festool LM-OF 1010 R LED Light Module. Designed as a dedicated retrofit accessory for compatible Festool OF 1010 R routers, this innovative lighting system illuminates the cutting area directly from the router base, making it easier to follow marked lines, position cutters accurately and maintain a clear view of the workpiece.
Accurate routing depends on being able to see exactly where the cutter is working. Unfortunately, conventional workshop lighting does not always provide sufficient illumination around a router bit. The router body, operator's hands and surrounding equipment can cast unwanted shadows across the cutting area, making fine detail work more difficult.
The Festool LM-OF 1010 R addresses this problem with an LED light ring that surrounds the cutting area. By illuminating the workpiece from multiple directions, the ring helps minimise shadows and provides a clearer view of the routing position.
Unlike an external workshop lamp, which may need to be repositioned whenever the workpiece or router moves, the Festool light module is integrated directly into the router's base. This means the illumination remains focused on the relevant working area as the router is guided across the material.
The light module is particularly useful for routing along pencil marks, creating recesses for fittings, decorative script cutting and working in poorly illuminated environments. It can also make it easier to inspect the position of the router bit when preparing for detailed routing operations.
To accommodate different lighting conditions, the module offers two selectable brightness levels. This allows the operator to choose an appropriate level of illumination according to the surrounding workshop light, workpiece surface and specific application.
Power is supplied by a separate rechargeable battery unit. This compact unit attaches to the light module and can be removed whenever charging is necessary. The integrated USB-C charging port provides a convenient charging interface using a suitable USB-C cable and compatible power source.
The rechargeable battery provides up to six hours of illumination, depending on operating conditions and the selected brightness level. This makes the system suitable for extended routing sessions without requiring a permanent electrical connection for the lighting module.
Another significant advantage is the straightforward retrofit installation. Festool designed the module for compatible OF 1010 R routers produced from September 2021 onwards. The existing plastic adapter ring and acrylic glass cover are removed and replaced with the LED light ring, after which the rechargeable battery unit clicks into position.
Once installed, the LED light ring can remain permanently fitted to the router. The battery unit is removable for charging, so the complete lighting installation does not need to be dismantled each time the battery requires attention.
Whether you are a cabinetmaker, furniture manufacturer, joiner, professional carpenter or woodworking enthusiast, the Festool LM-OF 1010 R is a practical accessory that enhances working visibility while preserving the convenient operation of the compatible router.
The LM-OF 1010 R is a dedicated LED lighting accessory developed to improve visibility around the cutting area of compatible Festool OF 1010 R routers.
Its circular light ring is positioned directly within the router base, providing illumination from multiple directions instead of relying solely on external workshop lighting.
With two adjustable brightness levels, a removable USB-C rechargeable battery and up to six hours of operating time, the module combines practical lighting performance with convenient everyday operation.
It is particularly useful for fine routing applications where visibility of pencil marks, layout lines and cutter positioning contributes to accurate results.

What Is the Festool LM-OF 1010 R Light Module?
The Festool LM-OF 1010 R is a dedicated lighting accessory that can be retrofitted to compatible Festool OF 1010 R routers.
It consists of a circular LED light ring and a removable rechargeable battery unit.
The ring is installed directly in the base of the router, providing focused illumination close to the cutting area.
Because the light surrounds the cutter area, it helps reduce shadows that could otherwise make it difficult to see marked cutting lines.
The rechargeable battery supplies power independently of the router's motor power system and can be removed for convenient charging.
Why Is Circular LED Lighting Useful for Routing?
When using a handheld router, the machine body and base can obstruct light coming from overhead workshop fittings.
This may create shadows exactly where the operator needs to see the cutter, marked lines and surrounding material.
A circular LED light ring distributes light from multiple directions around the cutting area, helping to minimise these shadows.
Because the lighting system moves with the router, illumination remains focused on the working position as the tool is guided across the workpiece.
This arrangement is particularly useful for decorative routing, precision marking and detailed woodworking applications.
What Are the Two Brightness Levels For?
The LM-OF 1010 R features two selectable brightness settings.
These allow the operator to adjust illumination according to the surrounding light and the visual characteristics of the workpiece.
A lower brightness level may provide adequate lighting in a well-lit workshop, while a higher level may be useful when working in shaded areas or where markings are difficult to see.
The brightness adjustment helps provide flexibility without requiring a separate external lighting system.
How Does the Removable Battery Unit Work?
The light module uses a separate rechargeable battery unit that attaches to the installed LED light ring.
When the battery needs to be charged, it can be removed from the router without dismantling the light ring.
This allows the permanent lighting installation to remain in place while the battery is connected to a suitable USB-C charging source.
Once sufficiently charged, the battery unit can be reattached to the light module for continued operation.
What Does USB-C Charging Mean?
USB-C is a reversible connector format commonly used for charging modern electronic devices.
The Festool LM-OF 1010 R battery unit incorporates a USB-C charging interface, allowing it to be recharged using a suitable USB-C cable and compatible power supply.
Festool specifies that a USB-C cable may be used with an appropriate computer USB connection or mains charging adapter.
Important: The USB-C charging cable and mains adapter are not included in the stated scope of delivery.
How Long Does the Light Operate?
Festool specifies an operating time of up to six hours for the rechargeable lighting module.
Actual operating time can depend on the selected brightness level, battery charge condition, operating temperature and age of the battery.
The ability to remove the battery independently of the light ring makes it convenient to recharge the unit between routing sessions.
Can the Light Ring Remain Permanently Installed?
Yes. Festool designed the LM-OF 1010 R so that the LED light ring can remain fitted to the compatible router.
Following the initial retrofit installation, the operator does not need to remove the ring each time the battery requires charging.
This is particularly convenient for professionals who use their OF 1010 R regularly and want the lighting system available whenever routing work begins.
Why Does the Production Date Matter?
The light module is specifically designed for Festool OF 1010 R routers manufactured from September 2021 onwards.
Earlier OF 1010 models may have different base constructions or mounting arrangements that do not accommodate this lighting accessory.
Even if an older machine appears similar, compatibility should not be assumed without confirmation from Festool.
Check the router's model designation and production information before ordering the light module.
How Is the Light Module Retrofitted?
Festool specifies a straightforward retrofit procedure for suitable OF 1010 R routers.
The existing plastic adapter ring is unscrewed, and the acrylic glass cover is removed from the designated base area.
The LED light ring is then installed in place of the original components, after which the rechargeable battery unit is attached.
Once correctly fitted, the light ring can remain in position during normal router operation.
Always follow the official Festool installation instructions rather than relying solely on a general description of the process.
Does the Light Module Improve Routing Accuracy?
The light module does not change the mechanical cutting accuracy, motor performance or depth adjustment of the router.
Instead, it improves visibility of the cutting area, making it easier for the operator to see marked lines and the relationship between the cutter and workpiece.
This can be particularly valuable during fine-detail work where accurate visual positioning is important.
The final routing accuracy still depends on the cutter, router setup, guiding arrangement, workpiece preparation and operating technique.
