DEWALT 20V MAX* LED Work Light / Flashlight (DCL040)

I absolutely love this light. Incredibly bright and able to project different light brightness’s. Battery life holds up, (just keep in mind in higher power it will drain the battery faster). One of my new favorite tools for the barn

Once upon a time, LEDs could barely be seen in the dark. Now, they push back the darkness - and, keep pushing for an impressive amount of time, on a single charge. You may be paying more than necessary for the brand name. Overall, for a work light with similar features - one can pay considerably less. If you want it to match your other DeWalt stuff, its a way to go. It has done exactly what it was supposed to do. What more can you ask?

Ive worked in many careers including as a home inspector before the great housing crash. I used maglite brand which have been the standard in flash lights for the past twenty five or so years. The flash lights worked fairly well but replacing four d-cell batteries Several times a week was expensive and wasteful. I switched to streamlite rechargeable flash lights which Were great quality but were also very expensive. The light lasted about four hours before I would have to plug in and recharge it. I needed about 6 to 8 hours of flash light use per day and having to wait for my streamlite to recharge was a bit annoying. I wish I had this light then! What a difference it would have made in my day to day operations. I have found that the light does tend to tip over if stood on end and positioned on an 45 degree angle. To remedy this I switched to 20volt 6ah xr batteries which are heavier and have a larger base. They even last a lot longer (over 8 hours) than the smaller batteries. If you truly need a great spot light for work or home, this may be the last one you will ever have to buy.

Purchased this as a gift for my nephew. Sometimes when I get him a gift he remembers to thank me weeks later and its usually a rather quiet, Thanks. However this time he enthusiastically thanked me quickly and told me how he had used the light just that morning for a project he was working on. Hes a superb carpenter so I was surprised he didnt have a light similar to this already to help him work.

Happy with this light! Compact body, lightweight, has plenty of brightness on the light output. Works great for what Im using it for.

This thing is just that! Like a car headlight! Have yet to run out of battery! I primarily use it walking the dogs camping and have had several people ask what I was using! Works great also when backing up into a camp site at night!

Bought this as a gift for my brother-in-law. He already had one from a set he bought and wanted a second one. He was really happy with it. I also have one myself from a set I bought and use it practically everyday when I go outside after dark.

Ive got less than one full charge of battery time on it so far. This thing is bright. I usually set it back three or four feet from the problem at hand. It puts enough light out that reflections and scattering wipe out most shadows. Great for plumbing and electrical work. The only nits are that you need to put a carabiner or something similar on the loop to hook it to a pipe. And yes the battery pack is a little bit loose. Not enough that it seems to make any difference. And it would be handy if you could step down to two or one LED instead of all three. Presumably the battery life would double or triple, and even one LED would be enough for many jobs. If you already have one or two 20V battery packs it makes the cost a lot more bearable

This beats buying a $300 set of tools just to get the flashlight. Way to go, Amazon.

I was really happy to get this flashlight. I have used it in at least 2 power outages and it never drained a 5 AH battery. One outage I probably had it on for at least 12 hours. I wanted a light that I could easily have enough battery capacity to last for 2 or 3 days if needed and this is the one. I like that I didnt have to buy yet another type of battery and could just use my power tool batteries.
