Festool SYSLITE KAL C 18V Cordless Working Light 1200 Lumens

At a Glance: Compact 18V working light with 24 LEDs, three brightness levels, daylight-like 5000 K illumination and up to 1200 lumens.

Bring bright, even illumination into confined spaces and difficult-to-reach working areas with the Festool SYSLITE KAL C cordless working light. Despite its exceptionally compact design, this powerful light delivers up to 1200 lumens through 24 LEDs, providing uniform illumination with reduced shadowing across a working distance of approximately one to two metres. Three selectable brightness levels allow the output to be adjusted between 300, 600 and 1200 lumens, while the natural 5000 K light colour replicates daylight for clear visibility of surfaces and fine details. The swivelling lamp head, integrated hanging hook and 1/4-inch tripod thread provide outstanding positioning flexibility wherever professional lighting is required.

Compact lighting that adapts to every task

The SYSLITE KAL C is small enough to fit inside a Systainer battery compartment or toolbox, yet powerful enough to illuminate demanding workshop and installation tasks. Place it on a surface, lay it inside a narrow space, hang it from a suitable support or mount it on a tripod. The lamp head swivels through 180°, allowing the light to be directed precisely where it is needed.

Product Highlights

  • Flexible lamp head: Swivels through any position between 0° and 180° for accurate light placement.
  • Multiple mounting options: Can be placed on a surface, suspended from its hook or mounted on a 1/4-inch tripod.
