Festool LHS 2 225 EQ-Plus PLANEX Long-Reach Sander 225mm 400W With LED Light
At a Glance: 225mm PLANEX long-reach drywall sander with LED light ring, eccentric sanding motion, adjustable suction support and variable working length.
The Festool LHS 2 225 EQ-Plus PLANEX is a professional long-reach sander designed for perfect walls and ceilings with less effort and better visibility. Built for drywall finishing, plaster filler, wall preparation and ceiling sanding, this new-generation PLANEX combines an all-round LED light ring with eccentric sanding motion to help reveal unevenness while producing a smooth, scratch-free finish. With adjustable suction power, variable working length, an ergonomic T-handle and a durable brushless EC motor, the LHS 2 225 EQ-Plus gives painters, drywall contractors and renovation professionals a cleaner, more controlled sanding experience on large surfaces.
The standout feature of the LHS 2 225 EQ-Plus is the all-round LED light ring. It works like an integrated grazing light, helping to reveal ridges, scratches and uneven areas directly while sanding. Combined with eccentric sanding motion and adjustable suction support, it helps deliver a better finish with less rework.

Extra Information
- The all-round LED light ring acts like a built-in grazing light to help show unevenness while sanding.
- The adjustable suction power helps reduce the strain on the user&s arms and back during long sanding sessions.
- The working length can be adjusted quickly to suit the working area and ceiling height.
- The hose clip helps keep the suction hose and cable organised at a comfortable distance from the operator&s hand.

Pro Tips
- Use the LED light ring while sanding to spot high spots, ridges and sanding scratches before applying paint.
- Let the adjustable suction support carry some of the tool weight instead of pressing hard against the surface.
- Start with a coarser abrasive for levelling filler and finish with a finer grit for a smooth paint-ready surface.
- Use overlapping sanding passes and keep the sanding head flat to avoid creating uneven patches.
- Keep the extraction hose as straight as possible to maintain airflow and reduce drag while sanding ceilings.
- Replace worn abrasives early; a tired disc makes the machine work harder and can affect the final finish.
How to Use
- Select the correct 225mm abrasive grit for the surface and finish required.
- Attach the abrasive securely to the StickFix sanding pad.
- Set the working length to suit the wall, ceiling or tight working area.
- Connect the suction hose to the sander and to a suitable Festool dust extractor.
- Switch on the LED light ring and adjust the sanding speed for the material being sanded.
