DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light, Compact and Portable, Weather and Dust Resistant, Cordless (DCL074)

The light is very bright and easy to store.

So I’m a bit biased because I LOVE Dewalts cordless line. I’m a professional custom cabinet installer and I am nearly 100% cordless with the exception of my compressor, battery charger, and before today my bright work light. It’s dark when I start work and now it’s getting dark around 4:30 and I usually put on a flood light inside where my chopsaw, tables saw and main work area is. It’s good, but it’s directional meaning it only light up where I point it. This dome light that dewalt has is incredible. It’s 360 degrees of super bright light. I specifically wrote on the title that it’s perfect for indoors and that’s because I took it outside to see what it would do and you have to think of a flashlight versus a light that’s supposed light up everything around it. The light from this doesn’t go out in a focused beam so outside it wouldn’t be very effective . But I had it on inside for a while with all the house lights out and it’s almost like daytime. Truly incredible. There are three brightness levels so battery life will obviously be dependent on what you choose. As far as the buzzing noise, if I’m up close I can hear a slight high pitched buzz but nothing that bothers me. May be a defective unit from the other review I read. These are spendy, but literally in a typical house with kitchen and living room as connect rooms, this thing will light up the entire area no problem. Well worth the money. Another absolutely solid, well thought out product from dewalt.

Light works well and light is very generous and is very pleasing. What boggles my mind is that in the warning section of the manual; it says to not expose to light rain or snow. The outdoor rating of IP54.. This means a level of protection of dust and water ingress. (water ingress:: will resist splashing water). I dont know about you dewalt; but the majority of people dont have the opportunity to work inside. I guess I should have done my homework a bit more to find a light that works outdoors. My solution for me is that I purchased those hat umbrellas. Now we are rain resistant. Now I am IP 51..

Es brillante

Just the day after receiving this I had a power outage that lasted all evening. Its really bright and has no audible sound. its entirely passive cooled. As for battery storage. Every single dewault battery will fit. Even the big 15ah 60v pack. The only issue is the door wont close on it with the big battery installed but it wont limit the function of the light. overall i really like this and its the first light ill bring to a job site!

With this hanging from the patio roof I can work outside even at night. But inside, a pair of 100 Watt equivalent LED bulbs in an overhead light fixture produce about the same amount of light, limiting its usefulness- I still have to use a tripod mounted LED work light that I can angle up and down to illuminate whatever Im working on. If I could position this better it would be so much better, and I have tried to devise ways of doing just that, but in the end the sheer bulkiness and weight prevents that. The wireless Bluetooth control is great though as when i hang it from the patio roof I would need a ladder to operate the controls without it.

Love this portable light! Pair it with a flexvolt battery and it will last almost all day.. I work in attics so its perfect, no need to look for an extension or a plug. Its also very sturdy Ive dropped it several times on concrete and there hasnt been any visible or interior damage. Its also great bc it doesnt give off heat. Also love the hook it has bc I can easily hang it from a strap.

This thing is great! Fits nicely into my DeWalt battery ecosystem, and has an awesome heavy duty hook on the bottom to hang it when youre working. Great quality.

I have a ton of DeWalt tools, and their build quality is always durable and professional quality. How much time gets wasted on a job site when you have to find a free outlet and roll out a cord to get adequate lighting before you even start to make any money? I thought this was a little pricey at first, but its big, bright, and rugged. Since I like to work late, it didnt take me long to start putting this to use. It comes with tripod mounts, but it also sits solidly on any flat surface, either upright or on its side. It even has a folding hook on the bottom to hang it somewhere. it has several light output levels, but the lowest gives out plenty of light for most situations.

Very bright! Using Tool Connect, you can set on/off schedule throughout the week, track battery usage, light dimmer, and diagnostics. Wouldve been sweeter if it came with a CORDED option. All in all, very pleased Update: 7 MAY 2022 I now have 2 of these going on 3yrs now. I lit up a room roughly 25x30 on high for about 7hrs straight using the flexvolt 9ah battery and 12ah battery. I had to change the 9ah out because it is an older battery. The 12ah had 1 bar left at the end of an 8hr day. IMO, the amount of light you receive depends on several factors. Height of light placement, objects in the direct path of the light, and battery output. If you can factor in these 3 before using it, youll remedy your problems. I have used the tripod mount as well when there was nothing safe to hang from the ceiling, not as bright overall, but sustainable. My preferred method is suspended, works awesome! BTW, not sure if the new 15ah battery will work in thos light. The 12ah barely fit. Hope this helps.
