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

good. functional.

Love this light. Use it around the house mostly (and its fun to play with too, if youre into flashlights). Its plenty bright, but like all flashlights, Id like it to be brighter yet; Id like it to throw a spotlight beam 100 yards away, but thats just not realistic. ;-) Others have commented on the inner light being too bright and the beam being too narrow, while the outer circle of light is too dim; there is some truth to that. If you want just a spotlight beam (like I would prefer), its not that. If you want just an even, large circle of light, its not that either. But I think it is a nice compromise, with some of both qualities. Others have commented on the clicks used to position the head of the light at different angles being too easy or too hard, but I think the clicks are just right, not too easy, not too hard. One thing I wish it did was throw the light downward more, but the on off switch location prevents that. The light goes one click below horizontal and I think that will be sufficient for most people. The flashlight would have to be made taller to accommodate this (too leave room for the hand grip and switch), but this would just make the whole flashlight bigger and I like the compact size. Its 8.5 inches tall with the battery installed and the head pointed straight horizontally. Stands up nicely with the battery attached (battery NOT included) on a somewhat even/level surface. Nice hook to hang the light too. Seems quality built like most Dewalt products. As an LED, it should last a long time. All in all a nice light. I dont think you will be disappointed.

Great light for things at a distance especially outside, almost too bright to use as a work light. This spotlight is over 1500 lumens according to the information provided, and compared to my other lights I would say it is way more than that. It concentrates the light in a tight beam and even on the low setting is too bright for up close use like working on a vehicle or under the kitchen sink. I can clearly see an owl that sits on top of a utility pole well over 100 yards away.

Since I’m already invested in DEWALT portable power tools and have a collection of batteries, it was an easy decision to go with a compatible DEWALT flashlight when it came time to replace my existing Streamlight. I’ve only owned this for a short period of time, but I’m impressed. The light quality and brightness are incredible and both the low and high settings give you the right level of light for various situations. The build quality is what I expect of DEWALT — it feels durable and well-constructed. Though this is a large flashlight, the size doesn’t impact the light’s usability. I’ve used it extensively and have not had to replace or recharge the battery yet.

Expensive but worth it.

Works great

take a beating and keeps on going. i wish it were waterproof.

Same light is $60 more in local stores. The beam is totally what I expected. I have livestock..now I can see what is in the. Back fields.

Another great DeWalt product. Very bright. Battery life depends on your batteries and we have several as they are interchangeable with our drills.

Works well for the size.
