Milwaukee Tool is proud to announce the most portable and highest output battery-powered light on the market. Part of the new MX FUEL™ Equipment System*, the MX FUEL™ ROCKET™ Tower Light/Charger is the most portable 10’ light for inside or outside use. Delivering up to 27,000 lumens of task and area lighting, the light can be set up in seconds, features outriggers for leveling, and withstands the harshest jobsite environments.
“For years high output task lighting options have always been tethered to a cord, forcing users to spend valuable time setting up generators in remote applications and deal with products that are difficult to move around in jobsite environments,” said Jason Isaacs, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “With the introduction of the MX FUEL™ ROCKET™ Tower Light/Charger, part of the MX FUEL™ Equipment System, we now offer the additional battery capacity to quickly provide a high amount of light without requiring access to AC power. In areas with access to AC power, we’ve also integrated the MX FUEL™ Charger into the light that acts as a battery backup solution or an onsite MX FUEL™ battery charger for additional jobsite value. Not only are we bringing cordless technology into a space where it’s relatively unavailable, but we are solving the problems of portability and stability in these environments as well.”
Built with all-terrain 8” wheels MX FUEL™ ROCKET™ Tower Light/Charger requires little effort to move across uneven ground – whether it’s rolled across rough terrain during early phase construction or across pan decking for early morning concrete pours. The telescopic lighting tower can be set up in seconds to a maximum height of 10’ with a motorized mast and collapses back down to 44” for easy transportation and storage. Once it is in place, 4 outriggers can be quickly deployed to provide more stability on uneven surfaces. The four multidirectional LED light heads can cast up to 27,000 lumens of TRUEVIEW™ High Definition Output when plugged into AC power*. When equipped with an MX FUEL™ REDLITHIUM™ XC406 battery, the light tower runs for 3 hours on high at 20,000 lumens or up to 10 hours on its lowest setting a single charge. It can also be plugged into an extension cord for all-day operation, as well as charge any MX FUEL™ REDLITHIUM™ battery pack.
While deployed, the light can withstand up to 35 mph winds and is protected from rain, wind, and dust. Like all of Milwaukee’s high output LED lights, the new light also features a limited lifetime LED warranty, and a 5-year warranty on the product.
As an added benefit, users can customize, track, manage, and secure the light from their mobile device through ONE-KEY™,*** the industry’s largest Bluetooth® community tracking network. If the light tower is ever lost or stolen, ONE-KEY™ provides the ability to prevent tampering with remote lockout capability.
Committed to its focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology, Milwaukee® will continue to design and develop lighting solutions with the ability to adapt, perform and survive the demands of professional use.*The MX FUEL™ Equipment System: This groundbreaking cordless system revolutionizes the light equipment market by delivering the performance, run-time, and durability demanded by the trades without the hazards associated with emissions, noise, vibration, and the frustrations of gas maintenance. Each of the solutions on the MX FUEL™ System go beyond the limitations of gasoline and power-cord units and operate off one completely compatible system all on the same battery. This is Equipment Redefined.
