The Dutton Cordless Rechargeable LED Light for Festool Domino DF 500 and DF 700 is a clip-on work light built for woodworkers who cut loose-tenon joints with a Festool Domino. This is a rechargeable tool-mounted LED light designed for lighting the cut area while you align and plunge mortises. Model Number DL-500700.

Every mortise cut with a Festool Domino joiner starts with lining the joiner's center mark up to a pencil line. On pale maple or birch that is easy. On walnut, sapele, or any other dark hardwood, the lines tend to vanish, and the body of the joiner throws its own shadow right where you are looking. The Dutton light mounts on the Domino and aims light down at the workpiece, so the mark you are registering to stays clear and you are not guessing on the plunge.

Angled work is where this light earns its keep. Tilt the fence for a miter joint and overhead shop lights end up behind the tool, which is why bevel cuts are where most alignment errors happen. The Dutton light keeps working with the joiner beveled past 45 degrees, so miters get the same visibility as square edge joints.

The light has three brightness modes. Use the lower setting on light-colored stock where glare is the bigger problem, and turn it up on dark species and in dim corners of the shop. The built-in battery delivers over 2 hours of runtime and recharges through a USB-C port, the same connection most phones and shop chargers already use. With no power cord, nothing tangles with your extraction hose or the joiner's own cord.

Installation takes seconds and needs no tools. The light clips onto the joiner and comes off just as quickly when you put the Domino back in its Systainer. It fits both the DF 500 and the larger Festool Domino XL DF 700, so one light covers a shop that runs both machines. The body is compact and durable enough for daily shop use.

Dutton Tools builds task lighting for woodworkers, including raking LED lights for sanders that expose scratches before finish goes on. The Domino light applies the same idea to joinery: put light where the work happens, not across the room.

Who should buy it? Furniture and cabinet makers who work in dark hardwoods, anyone who cuts a lot of mitered Domino joints, and woodworkers whose shop lighting leaves the bench in shadow. For the price of a few packs of Domino tenons, it removes one of the most common causes of misaligned mortises.
