> 3 dayA good overall tool to add to your arsenal of dewalt products. Bright and the pivoting head feature is nice. My main issue with this product is the percieved quality, especially when compared to other dewalt tools. The yellow color doesnt quite match the warm yellows of my other tools, and the product just feels cheap. The pivot system is clicky and doesnt have nice secure smooth action. The weight is just wrong. It feels like if it fell over it would break. Even though flashlight internals are very simple, giving more weight to raise the users percieved quality and sturdiness would be nice. It feels like a disconnect between this tool and the rest of the dewalt power tool line. However controls all work and it does as it should so at the end of the day that matters most.

Greater than one weekThis light is the best we have ever purchased. It holds a charge for a long time. Perfect for working on stuff and hardly just to have as a flashlight around the house. Super bright, we love it.

Greater than one weekA very bright light, but seems to have a serious flaw. The light on a fully charged Dewalt battery pak just abruptly shuts off and will not come back on until you pull the battery which is very loose when connected and wait a few minutes and it will come back on by reinserting the battery, but then go off again, I suspect bad connection with the battery do to it not fitting tight on the tool. Returned it to Amazon and am waiting on a replacement to hopefully solve the problem.

Greater than one weekI generally use the DCL043 as a work light when doing various household handyman-type work. The multiple ways it can be positioned (adjustable head angle, hanging loop, standing vertically, etc.) without having to rig something up is awesome. I also tested it by pointing it towards the ceiling in a completely dark room, and found that it can act as general purpose lighting for the room during a night time power outage.

> 3 dayI use some older 2 amp hour batteries with this and it lasts multiple nights using it as a lantern... Id say 10 hours or more run time. Its plenty bright for outdoor and insanely bright for indoor use.
