As good as a normal portable light November 25, 2006

I have a 13W corded trouble light and actually use the dewalt more now that I own it. Having used it quite a bit, here are the observations:
1 - hook and shield can be adjusted any way to keep the light on the job and out of your eyes almost anywhere. It sits upright on the battery if you can't hang it.
2 - there is no shortage of light - and it is very wide angle (about 190 degrees) - no central hot spot with this light - its spread out
3 - although this is called a 12/14.4V light, its best used with 14.4 V packs - lamp shuts down at about 12.3 volts remaining on the pack. Using a new XRP pack, that amounts to 3.5 hours of light. Using a tired, 6 yr. old pack, it's more like 2.2 hours.
4 - The light is available in 12-14.4 and 18v models which covers all the serious tool battery systems dewalt has made (the 14.4 and 18v) - the bulb however is only 13W so the 18V lamp isn't any brighter - it just runs longer on a charge. Select whichever voltage your tools use (mine are older 14.4V tools so I have lots of batteries and picked this model)
5 - construction quality is excellent and adhere's to dewalt's standards.
6 - finally - if for some reason you want 360 degrees of lighting, the reflector / protector can be removed with the bulb on - but it is very bright, you won't have the hook to hang it, and you will probably break the bulb if it falls over, so it is not recommended. DW even puts a sticker inside telling you to turn it off now! The protector is well designed to hold on to the top of the bulb to minimize the chace of breakage in drops.
Even though I've used the 14.4 volt system for years, I never bought a dewalt light until this one - their flexible design wasn't right - the swivel head handheld design still wasn't right - but this tool puts out so much light it's perfect for almost any job. The third design is the best of the bunch and worth it if you have batteries and chargers already since nothing comes with the lamp.
Enjoy!
 As much light as corded version. With 1 flaw! January 20, 2007

The best 14.4v light Dewalt produces. I have/have had both other 14.4v cordless lights Dewalt makes. The flexible light just never function like it should. Neck moved to easy and was not enough light to be useful. The pivot light seems like just a glorfied flashlight.
This Light produces ample light and sheild keeps you from being blinded. The retractable hook is nice because it can pivot 360 degrees and can be retracted flush with case. So it doesn't get caught in tight spaces, like both of my corded lights. The light produced is as bright as both of my corded fluorescent lights.
The only drawback with this light is, there is no warning when battery gets low. The light just goes out!!! No dimming to warn you to change battery. Not fun when you are under car working in dark!
This is a great product that works quite well May 17, 2007

This light works quite well and is more than bright enough for car work, interior work and emergencies. Highly recommended. You can pick them up for about 30$ plus about 15$ shipping.
This is an exceptional accessory! July 22, 2006

This flourescent area light is just the ticket for many situations where light is needed but a flashlight provides too narrow of a beam. The built in hanger is perfect for all sorts of hanging situations, and the battery pack is heavy enough that the light can stand on its own too. I have already used mine to light a room where the power is off to wire some new fixtures, and it provided "room lighting" so I could walk around without running into things, while I used my flashlight to light up the detail area where my hands were working. The combination of the two is an excellent cordless one-two punch. Both have their uses though - the area light illuminates a wide area with a lower light level while the 14.4v flashlight directs a super bright beam useful for fine detail work and lighting something more than 10 feet away.
I have been using DeWalt tools for over 10 years and for the most part they are great performers at fair prices. This light is no exception, but beware of wide swings in price. I paid just $28 and think the light is well worth that price.
Highly recommended!

This light works great and is very bright. The batteries last for several hours. I am very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend purchasing this light.
