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

Works great very bright

It does what it should, its bright, it stays on for hours, but I really wish it had a means of adjusting the beam go from narrow to wide. Its only a spot light and doesnt have any flood light ability.

Love how it stands up on its own

This spot light is incredible. Much better than the rechargeable spot lights from Walmart. If your already in the DeWalt 20vdc lineup and need a spot light it’s a no brainer. If you are just looking for a spot light and don’t already have DeWalt 20vdc tools I’d probably look elsewhere as the cost of batteries and charges for DeWalt stuff needs to be accounted for as this is a Bare Tool.

I saw a lineman using this light in the middle of the night in the rain with a utility emergency. The light was stronger than anybody else’s spotlight, so I decided to get my own. I’m not disappointed. It’s been used and abused but still lights up perfectly.

I work on vehicles a lot and a corded light always gets in the way or has trouble hanging in the right spot. This light is good because you can stand it up right or lay it on its side. Overall its a pretty versatile light. I also got a 6 amp hour battery to go with it and I can go a solid month or two before loosing 1/3 of the battery life. I also hunt coyotes and use this to light up the fields. Im no good at hunting coyotes, but when trying to hunt with a rifle in hand and also a flashlight, this one works well and is stupid bright. If you need a light, just buy this one. Ive done extensive research into good spotlights and this one is the best despite not even being marketed for that.

This is the 20-Volt light that was elusive as a single item at the local home stores. Amazon to the rescue. Came quickly, works perfectly. Ive use both the compact and Max (3.0Ah) 20V batteries. I leave it out in case of emergencies because Lithium Ion batteries have a great shelf life when fully charged. Have been slowly replacing a hodgepodge of corded and cordless tools with DeWalt 20V and buying some I didnt have like the Jig Saw. Some reviews have been a bit harsh on the 20V line, but it seems like theyre continuing to offer products and batteries. I went through so many Ni-Cad systems that were a disappointment before moving to NiMH which is was similar to Ni-Cad in technology but had 3-4 times the useful life. Current battery technology continues to make enormous strides, but Li-on really is the current winner. Who wants to make a huge investment in tools if the power cells are going to keep changing? Ive used a power inverter to charge on the go without any ill effects, so far. Its nice to have in the truck or car to charge all of battery operated toys we use today. In summary: I like the light, its bright, durable and should last years with the LED bulb.

I melted my first one in a burn pile inadvertently, and it still shined bright. This is my favorite flashlight by far.

I just received. I thought it would be a weak light but happily its really a bright light! And with my many dewalt 20v batteries ......this emergency flashlight should last a very long time....and save on the actual purchase price over 2 years for me, on buying triple A and double A batteries over and over again ....so I am happy about purchase.

Easy to use and manipulate in the aria you need light. Dewalt is one of my fav brands.
