This is a sanding accessory light designed for spotting surface defects — scratches, swirl marks, and uneven sanding patterns — while you're still sanding, not after the finish goes on and it's too late to fix. It attaches directly to compatible Festool DTS delta sanders or ETSC\/ETS 125 sanders, and runs on its own rechargeable battery, independent of the sander's power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light casts a low, raking beam across the work surface right where the pad is cutting, which is the angle that actually reveals texture. Two brightness levels let you dial in the right amount of light for the job — full brightness for well-lit shop conditions or dimmed for glare-sensitive surfaces like glossy or dark-stained wood, where too much light can wash out the very defects you're trying to see. A vibration sensor handles the on\/off switching automatically: start sanding and the light comes on, stop and it shuts off, so there's no separate switch to remember or forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is a 60-LED COB array putting out 50 lumens on the low setting and 150 lumens on high, at a 5000 Kelvin color temperature that renders surface detail clearly without a yellow or blue cast. Power comes from a built-in lithium-polymer battery good for up to 250 minutes on the low setting or 150 minutes on high, recharged in about 80 minutes over USB-C. The housing carries an IP54 rating, so dust and light moisture on a jobsite or in a dusty shop won't take it out of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting is tool-free — the module clips onto the sander's housing and stays put through normal sanding vibration, then pops off just as easily when you want to move it to another compatible sander or set it aside. This specific version is built for the DTS\/DTSC\/ETSC125\/ETS125 sanders (2017 and newer); Festool also sells matching light modules sized for other sander families, so make sure you're ordering the version cut for the sander you actually own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a smart add-on for anyone doing finish sanding where surface quality is the whole point — furniture builders, cabinet makers, trim carpenters, and finish-focused DIYers working under shop lighting that doesn't always show flaws until the stain or clear coat hits the wood. If you've ever sanded a panel, moved it under better light, and found swirl marks you missed, this module is built to stop that from happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-key-specifications\" class=\"acc\" open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey
