There are moments on the construction site that every professional is familiar with: the cut is spot on – or so it seems. The surface looks flawless until the right light reveals the tiniest irregularities. This is precisely where it becomes clear: perfection begins with visibility – and therefore with the right lighting. A well-designed, professional lighting system from Festool supports precise, flexible and efficient working. The new SYSLITE DUO-H hybrid construction spotlight now expands the range and underlines the commitment to systemoriented construction site lighting.

No more dark corners: 10,000 lumens for wide-area illumination 

Brightness alone is not enough – the quality of the light is crucial. With up to 10,000 lumens, 192 LEDs and a beam angle of 180°, the SYSLITE DUO-H provides exceptionally even, virtually shadow-free illumination on the construction site. The result: even complex or awkwardly shaped work areas are illuminated uniformly. Colour nuances, surface defects or cut lines become visible at an early stage – before they become a problem. The natural light colour of 5,500 Kelvin supports precise work, whether in interior finishing, assembly work or colour-critical applications. Thanks to stepless dimming, the light intensity can be precisely adjusted to suit any task. 

Always ready for action: with battery or cable (hybrid function) 

Construction sites are dynamic – and often unpredictable. This calls for lighting that is available at all times. The SYSLITE DUO-H combines mains and battery operation in an intelligent hybrid solution – so it is always ready for use when needed. In the event of a power cut, the spotlight switches to battery operation – and if the cable is plugged in whilst in battery mode, it switches back to mains operation to conserve the battery pack. This solution ensures maximum operational reliability and flexibility – ideal for long jobs, changing conditions or remote work sites. The result: no downtime, no interruptions, complete planning reliability. In addition, the construction spotlight can be controlled via the Festool app – from brightness adjustment and display of remaining runtime to group control of multiple devices. 

Adapts to any task: flexible positioning 

Every construction site has different requirements – and that is exactly what the SYSLITE DUO-H is designed for. Whether standing securely on the floor, mounted on a tripod, fixed to a wall or suspended from the ceiling: the construction spotlight can be positioned flexibly and precisely tailored to the specific working situation. Stepless dimming allows for any desired lighting atmosphere – from targeted illumination to wide-area ‘daylight’ lighting. The robust housing is shock- and scratch-resistant and, when running on battery power, is protected against dust and splash water in accordance with IP54. With a 5.5metre Plug-it cable and its durable construction, the spotlight is suitable for indoor use as well as for tough construction site conditions. 

Festool is expanding its lighting system with the SYSLITE DUO-H. The system is based on mobile, flexible lighting solutions such as: 

STL 450 edge light – for convenient and reliable surface inspection 

The STL 450 edge light from Festool uses a specially developed optical system that strongly focuses the light beam, making even the finest irregularities and surface defects immediately visible. This allows the quality of workmanship and sanding or filling results to be checked and specifically optimised during the work process. 

SYSLITE KAL C – compact, lightweight and ideal for confined spaces

The handy SYSLITE KAL C cordless work light delivers up to 1,200 lumens and impresses with its compact design. Three brightness settings, a lamp head that swivels continuously through 180° and a runtime of up to 90 minutes per Ah make it the ideal solution for interior finishing, assembly and repair work.

SYSLITE KBS C – powerful cordless construction spotlight for medium-sized areas 

The SYSLITE KBS C complements the system as a powerful cordless construction spotlight delivering up to 5,000 lumens. Flexible mounting options – magnetic, screwed or on a tripod – allow for versatile use. The uniform illumination ensures optimal working conditions. Here too: robust design, IP54 protection (in battery mode) and stepless dimming. 

Together, the system covers a wide range of applications – from precise detailing to illuminating entire work areas. 

The key difference lies in the system concept: Festool consistently integrates lighting directly into its power tools. High-quality LED solutions ensure that the work area remains clearly visible at all times. These include, amongst others: 

• PSC/PSBC 500 and PSC-E 18 jigsaws – a clear view of the cutting line
• ERSC 18 one-handed reciprocating saw – optimally illuminated cutting area
• KHC-S 18 combination hammer – precise drilling control even in dark areas
• KSC 60 and KS 120 mitre saws – precise LED spotlight on the cutting line
• PLANEX long-neck sander and ETSC 2 – dimmable LED ring lights for perfect surface finishing
• Permanently integrated into sanders such as the DTSC 200 and ETSC 2 150 and 125
• 18-volt drill and impact drivers – pinpoint lighting at screwdriving points
• Sanders
• Retrofit lighting modules for OF 1010 and OF 1400 routers, as well as for DTS and RTS sanders and plunge saws, for an optimal view of the workpiece – ensuring precise and safe working. 

This transforms lighting from an accessory into an integral part of the tool – and a decisive factor for quality.

Because work quality is also lighting quality 

With its expanded lighting system, Festool demonstrates: Optimal illumination is not an extra, but a prerequisite for professional results. From compact work lights and mobile construction spotlights to the powerful SYSLITE DUO-H hybrid construction spotlight, a comprehensive system is created that supports every step of the process. Because perfect results come from where every detail is visible. 

The SYSLITE DUO-H hybrid construction spotlight will be available from specialist retailers from 1 October 2026. Further information: festool.co.uk
