Festool SYSLITE KAL II-Set Working Light
At a Glance: Compact cordless LED work light with 12 high-performance LEDs, 170° light dispersion and two brightness levels up to 830 lm.
The Festool SYSLITE KAL II-Set Working Light is built to bring clear, even and reliable lighting to demanding jobsites, workshops and installation areas. Designed with the same professional standard as Festool power tools, this compact work light delivers bright, homogeneous illumination across medium-sized work areas, helping you see surface details, cutting lines, finish quality and hidden corners with confidence. With an integrated 7.2 V Li-ion battery, mains charging, car charging and compatibility with Festool slide-in battery packs, the SYSLITE KAL II keeps you working when light conditions are poor and ordinary torches simply do not spread enough light.
The SYSLITE KAL II is more than a normal site light. It provides wide, daylight-like illumination with a huge 170° scattering angle, two selectable brightness levels and flexible positioning options. The robust cast aluminium housing, shatter-proof hook, tripod thread and magnetic spherical head make it a superb lighting solution for professional trades who need portable, accurate and dependable light exactly where the work happens.
Product highlights
- Excellent light output: 12 high-performance LEDs provide bright, even illumination for accurate work in dark or poorly lit areas.
- Wide 170° dispersion: Lights up a broad area instead of creating a narrow torch-like beam.
- Two brightness levels: Choose between lower light output for longer runtime or maximum brightness for demanding visibility.
- Multiple power options: Runs from the integrated Li-ion battery, mains adapter, car charger or compatible Festool slide-in battery packs.
- Robust jobsite housing: Shatter-proof, shock-proof and impact-resistant cast aluminium housing is built for tough working conditions.
- Flexible positioning: Can stand, hang, mount to a tripod or attach using the supplied magnetic spherical head.
- Reduced cable hazards: Cordless operation keeps the work area cleaner and helps reduce tripping risks on site.
Extra Information
- The SYSLITE KAL II-Set includes the work light with integrated 7.2 V Li-ion battery, 230 V adapter, car charger adapter, magnetic spherical head and transport bag.
- The magnetic spherical head can be attached to suitable magnetic metal surfaces and allows quick adjustment of the lighting angle.
- The light can also be used with suitable tripods thanks to the standard 1/4 inch tripod thread.
- Compatible Festool slide-in battery packs can be used to extend runtime when longer working periods are required.
- The broad lighting angle helps illuminate the work surface evenly, making it useful for detail work and surface inspection.
Pro Tips
- Use the lower brightness setting when maximum runtime is more important than maximum light output.
- Use the magnetic spherical head to position the light above or beside the workpiece for better shadow control.
- For surface finishing, place the light at a low angle to reveal scratches, sanding marks or uneven areas.
- Keep the 230 V adapter and car charger in the transport bag so the light can be charged at the workshop or in the vehicle.
- Use a compatible Festool battery pack when working through longer jobs where the integrated battery runtime may not be enough.
How to Use
- Charge the integrated Li-ion battery using the supplied 230 V adapter or car charger adapter before first use.
- Place the SYSLITE KAL II on a stable surface, hang it using the universal hook or mount it using the magnetic spherical head.
- Adjust the angle of the light so the work area is evenly illuminated without creating unnecessary glare.
- Press the main switch to select the required brightness level.
- For longer runtime, connect a compatible Festool slide-in battery pack where suitable.
