The Festool 499814 SysLite Magnetic Mount Head is a magnetic light adapter for positioning compatible Festool work lights on steel surfaces, stands, and other jobsite mounting points. This is a magnetic mount head designed for flexible work light placement. Model Number: 499814. If you already rely on a SYSLITE for finish work, service calls, remodels, or general site lighting, this accessory gives you a much better way to put the beam exactly where the work is.

What matters most here is control. The integrated magnetic base is rated for 35.72 lb of holding force, which means the mount is built to stay put when attached to suitable metal surfaces. That makes it useful for steel framing, mechanical rooms, shop equipment, gang boxes, and any other spot where you need temporary task lighting without dragging out another stand. The spherical head rotates 360 degrees, so you can fine-tune beam direction instead of shifting the whole light every time you change position.

Festool also built this adapter to be more than just a magnet. The base includes a protective rubber cover to help grip without being hard on the contact surface, and the pass-through opening allows use with Festool FS clamps for mounting to non-metal structures such as wood studs. That is a practical detail on real jobs, because plenty of places need light but do not offer clean steel attachment points. In other words, you are not limited to one mounting method.

The connection hardware adds even more flexibility. This accessory is equipped with a 1/4 inch-20 threaded stud, which makes it easier to connect to common support hardware and stands when needed. For users who move between rough-in, finish work, and service tasks, that kind of compatibility matters because it lets the same light work in more situations without a pile of improvised brackets.

In day-to-day use, the payoff is simple: better light placement means less shadowing, less repositioning, and less wasted time. When you can mount a light directly to a stud, clamp point, or steel surface and then aim it precisely, you get cleaner visibility for layout, inspection, fastening, trim work, and troubleshooting. That is especially useful in tight areas where a floor stand gets in the way or where overhead lighting is either poor or non-existent.

This accessory makes the most sense for contractors, remodelers, installers, electricians, service techs, and serious DIY users who already own a compatible Festool SYSLITE. If you use your light in unfinished spaces, around framing, or in mechanical areas, the Festool 499814 SysLite Magnetic Mount Head is one of those accessories that quickly goes from optional to something you keep with the light all the time.
