The original, slightly brighter than the M12 and bigger, the second gen which is like 50% brighter and taller and runs on battery or plug, the "rocket light charger" that is like 3x as bright and charges a battery if plugged in, and the "dual pack" which can take 2x M18 batteries and is also over 2x brighter, has 2 different light spreads and is generally tougher and has the one key thing which I think is bluetooth or something to change more settings etc? The original is discontinued, the second version is slightly but not a lot more expensive, the last two are the 400+ dollar lights. That said the M18 rocket light moniker with a couple adjectives about features isn't the cleariest way to tell that there are 3 currently selling M18 rocket lights and why the price spread is so big. As to your original question, the M12 vs the M18 the 12 is lighter and runs on 12v packs, if you have 18v stuff as well there's not a lot of reason not to get the M18 imho, it's not much more expensive, has the same important features, and looks to be a good bit tougher in construction. The M12 isn't bad but it's not the toughest thing ever because in large part it's built light to stick with the M12 line's theme of strong but lighter/smaller tools.

TBH, I think Milwaukee's marketing team is awful; if I can't read the main difference between a $200 light and a $600 light from the description, they aren't doing their jobs well.

That saw is too (from a few comments below yours)

I am planning on returning the M12 Rocket. I feel that the design could have been a little bit better, I am sure if I kept it longer, it would be easier to setup... But compared to the Ryobi, the Ryobi is much easier to setup and has more height adjustments, whereas the Rocket can only extend to two heights. The other thing, that is the real killer for me, is how difficult it can be to get the 6.0Ah batteries out of it. I don't know if it is because I may have big hands or what, but it takes a solid 30-60 seconds to wiggle it out, with a 40% chance that I pinch myself.
I started my M12 collection, and figured it would be nice to also get the two 6.0Ah batteries, but at $190, I'll stick with the three that I already have (plus a couple of the smaller ones) and return the M12 Rocket for the Ryobi. Even though it only came with one battery, I have plenty of the Ryobi batteries, and the light was $129.

My friend has 2 of them go bad while using high drain like impact and they seem to work fine and last a long time in lights.
PS: Thanks for the thumbs down for asking a question....
