I know this might sound like a stupid question - and I even emailed Milwaukee to ask but never got a response. This light is advertised as having a charger that can charge any m18 battery while plugged in to a 110v outlet using the covered receptacle. But NOWHERE, does anything describe this light as being dual powered.. Does anyone know IF this light can be powered by an extension cord without a battery like the (plainly advertised) dual powered floodlight?? You'd think that would be in the description but it isn't.. It would really **** to find out it can ONLY charge a battery while the light isn't being used..
This is the description:
M18 ROCKET LED Tower Light/Charger (Tool Only) 2135-20
STAND UP. LIGHT UP. CHARGE UP. The M18™ ROCKET™ LED Tower Light/Charger is designed to deliver a lighting solution that ADAPTS, PERFORMS, and SURVIVES professional use unlike any other portable work light. The 2135-20 can be setup in seconds to a max height of 7’, and collapses to less than 4’ for easy transport and storage. The light head can be extended from 4-7’ to light overhead work or minimize shadows when casting light downward. The multidirectional light head gives users the ability to orient the three independently pivoting light heads to cast light in several directions. With an integrated AC plug, a user can plug in the light with a standard extension cord, and charge any M18 REDLITHIUM™ pack. Delivering 3,000 lumens, it fills up large areas with TRUEVIEW™ High Definition light. For optimized control over the output and run-time, the M18™ ROCKET™ LED Light has three settings: high provides 3,000 lumens at 2+ hours, medium provides 1,700 lumens at 4+ hours, and low provides 900 lumens at 8 hours with a M18 REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 Battery Pack (not included).
