Milwaukee Rover LED flood light sticks review | One is FLAWED | Must have light

One of these Milwaukee Rover LED flood lights is flawed with a major problem.
Has a problem that could easily make it a brick.
I use these lights on a regular basis on job sites. Since i am in a lot of IT closets and many of them are not what would see in a datacenter, lighting is often an issue. Lights have also proven very useful in low voltage work.
The 2108 uses AA batteries, and I would strongly recommend using standard alkaline batteries instead of the AA rechargeables mainly due to the voltage drop in the rechargeable. Normal AA batteries are 1.5 volts, and Rechargeables are mostly 1.2 volts, with some rare 1.25 volts available. If you're using two of them in series then you have dropped already .5 volts when using 1.2 volt models. The 2108 belt clip can easily turn and knock off the head / cap where the batteries are stored, making the light useless without the cap. I've lost this cap before, but was lucky to find it. Many others may not be that lucky. Due to this I rarely ever use the belt clip on this light now. This issue could be easily fixed by Milwaukee if they shaved maybe 2 mm off the front of the cap.
Both lights have two magnets. One on the top, and one near or on the belt clip. The ones on or near the belt clip are relatively useless, and shouldn't count as being there.
The Milwaukee Red Lithium USB battery is holding up well. Rated for over 2000 cycles. It's not cheap, but is nice to have rechargeable battery, even in the light itself. Better pro is that the rechargeable battery is easily swappable for an instant swap to a new battery. Keeping one charged seems to be a good way to go.
Both lights are well used in many situations and once I found they would easily stick to the corner bead of drywall on a finished out, making it easy to put out some decent area light in a brownout situation. They are both EDC (every day carry) for me. One in the tool box, and one in the pack.
