The Dutton Corded LED Light for Festool ETS 125 EC and ETS 150 EC Sander is a clip-on work light built for woodworkers, furniture makers, and finishers who sand with Festool's compact brushless finish sanders. This is a raking LED sander light designed for spotting surface defects during sanding. Model Number SL-EC125150 is sized specifically for the body of the Festool sanders in the ETS EC 125 and ETS EC 150 family.

The problem it solves is familiar to anyone who has stained a project. Overhead shop lighting flattens the surface, so cross-grain scratches, pigtail swirls, and spots you skipped stay invisible until finish makes them obvious. A raking light works the way a finisher holds a flashlight low to the board: the beam skims across the surface and every scratch throws a shadow. Mounted on the sander, the light travels with the pad, so you inspect as you sand instead of stopping to check.

Installation takes seconds. The light is shaped to the ETS EC housing and slides into place by hand with no tools, so you can mount it for final grits and pull it off for storage or rough stock removal. A built-in visor keeps the LEDs out of your line of sight, so the light lands on the work and not in your eyes while you are leaning over the piece.

This is a corded light and must be plugged in to run. Dutton includes a 16 ft power cord and zip ties so you can bundle the light cord to the sander's own cord or extraction hose. That keeps one clean line running back to your Festool dust extractor instead of a second loose cord dragging across the workpiece.

The ETS EC 125 and ETS EC 150 do their best work in the final grits, which is exactly where a raking light pays off. Work through your grit sequence with the light on and you can confirm each grit has fully removed the scratches from the last one before you move up.

Who should buy it? Festool ETS EC owners who build furniture or cabinets, refinish, or do any work that ends in stain, dye, or clear coat. If you have ever found a swirl mark after the first coat of finish, this is a cheap fix compared to sanding the piece back down. Each Dutton light is shaped to one specific housing, which is why Dutton builds separate LED lights for Festool sanders such as the Rotex and other ETS models.
