|---|---|---|---|
| MX MB 18 A TRA | up to 3150 lm | 3 interchangeable light heads | installation, maintenance, inspection and changing work situations |
| AL MB 2000 A | 2400 lm | compact, robust and portable | quick and flexible lighting directly at the workplace |
| AL MB 3000 A | 3000 lm | wide-area work light with reduced glare | installation, fit-out work and even area lighting |
| AL MB 4000 A | 4400 lm | high light output and robust construction | larger work areas and demanding construction site use |
| HL MB 3000 A | 1082 lm spot / 2160 lm area light | handheld light and floodlight in one | inspection, maintenance and alternating between spot and area lighting |
MX MB 18 A TRA – one light, three possibilities
The Professional Multi Battery Pro modular cordless LED hand lamp MX MB 18 A TRA combines three lighting modes in one base unit, making it particularly suitable for changing installation and work tasks. Three interchangeable light heads provide area lighting, 360° all-round lighting or focused light.
Three lighting solutions with one base unit
- COB work light head: 30 W, 3150 lm, 5000 K and a 100° beam angle for wide-area work lighting.
- 360° floodlight head: 20 W, 2140 lm and 5000 K for all-round lighting in the work area.
- Torch head: 10 W, 1030 lm, 8000 K and continuously adjustable focusing from 5–60° for targeted lighting.
This means the MX MB 18 A TRA can be used as a work light, 360° area light or focusable torch depending on the task. Additional light heads are already planned, so the modular system can be expanded in future.
Flexible positioning while you work
The base unit has a tilting lamp head with five locking positions. A 360° rotating metal hook also allows flexible attachment at the workplace.
Runtime depending on the light head
At 100% brightness, the product specifications give approximately the following runtimes per 1 Ah of battery capacity:
- Work light head: 42 minutes per Ah
- 360° floodlight head: 60 minutes per Ah
- Torch head: 90 minutes per Ah
Four brightness levels of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% let you adapt the lighting to the task. A battery charge indicator shows the remaining power. The integrated protection system helps protect compatible power tool batteries from deep discharge and overheating due to high load currents. USB-A and USB-C ports with 20 W Power Delivery are also provided.
Particularly suitable for: installation, maintenance and inspection work, and users who regularly switch between area lighting, all-round lighting and focused light.
