Description
Yato cordless work light 18V 3600 lm (YT-82965) is a portable 30 W COB LED floodlight that runs on Li-Ion batteries of the Yato 18 V battery platform. At full power the light produces 3600 lm and at half power 1800 lm, and its beam is 120° wide. The product is a body-only version: battery and charger are not included.
The light body is made of aluminium, and the transparent protective dome of impact-resistant PVCplastic. The mechanical impact resistance is class IK07 and its IP rating is IP20, so the light is intended for dry indoor spaces. The colour temperature of the light source is 6000–6500 K (cool white) and the colour rendering index CRI ≥ 80.
The light stands on its own steel stand, and the tilt angle of the lamp unit is adjusted with two locking knobs. The base of the stand has a threaded mount for a tripod, and the carrying handle is shaped into the top edge of the body. The dimensions are 220 x 205 x 62 mm and the weight without the battery about 1.6 kg.
The lighting time with a 2 Ah battery is 40 min at full power and 80 min at half power; with larger batteries the time increases in proportion to the capacity. The service life of the LED light source is 50,000 h. The Yato cordless work light 18V 3600 lm uses the same batteries as the other tools in the Yato 18 V range, for example the Yato cordless impact drill 18V 75Nm, brushless motor, body only.
Uses and suitability:
The Yato cordless work light 18V 3600 lm is intended for lighting the work in situations where mains power is not available or cables would get in the way.
- Construction sites and renovation projects: 3600 lm luminous flux and a 120° beam light a room or workstation without extension cables. Battery operation suits sites where the power has not yet been connected.
- Workshops: the tilting lamp unit and the tripod mount aim the light, for example, under a vehicle or behind a machine tool. For smaller spaces, use the Yato cordless work light 18V / 230V 1600LM 20W, body only, and for a higher luminous flux, the 50 W model of the same body, the Yato cordless work light 18V 5000LM 50W, body only.
- Warehouses and technical rooms: the compact 220 x 205 mm body and the carrying handle make the light easy to move during inspection and maintenance work.
- Camping and outdoor use under cover: the IP20 light can be used when sheltered from rain, for example under a canopy or in a tent. As a hand light, use the Yato torch 100W 8000LM IPX4 aluminium body rechargeable.

Instructions for using the Yato cordless work light 18V 3600 lm:
Fitting the battery: Push a charged Yato 18 V battery into the guides of the battery slot at the back of the body until the latch locks. Pull it to check that the battery does not come loose by itself.
Use: Switch on the light by pressing the power switch. The same switch changes the power mode between 100% and 50% and switches the light off. Do not look into the light source while the light is on.
Tilt adjustment: Remove the battery, loosen both locking knobs, turn the lamp unit to the required angle and tighten the knobs. Always adjust with the power off.
Tripod: Attach the light by the thread in the stand to a tripod that can carry the combined weight of the light and battery. Any other way of hanging it is prohibited.
Maintenance: Remove the battery before maintenance. Clean the body, ventilation openings and switch with compressed air (max. 0.3 MPa), a brush or a dry cloth; wipe the protective dome with a soft, damp cloth. No solvents or sharp tools. The light must not be dismantled during the warranty period.
Warnings:
- Indoor use only (IP20): do not expose to rain or liquids, do not immerse in water.
- Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres (paint vapours, fuel, solvents).
- Do not cover the light during use: risk of overheating and fire.
- The body gets hot during use: risk of burns on contact.
- The protective dome cannot be replaced; a damaged or broken dome makes the light unusable.
- Do not look directly into the light source: strong light can damage eyesight.
- Use only Yato 18 V Li-Ion batteries and Yato chargers; modifying the battery slot is prohibited.
- Do not leave the light unattended with the battery connected.
