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

This thing is just that! Like a car headlight! Have yet to run out of battery! I primarily use it walking the dogs camping and have had several people ask what I was using! Works great also when backing up into a camp site at night!

This is my second Dewalt max work light. The first has a red light as the second switch option. This light has a bright then lower power beam for the two switch settings. I own about 50 dealt 12 and 20 volt tools and in general find them all to be extremely reliable and durable. I leave the first one of these I own in our camper because it is so reliable and effective. This light has been faulty since about the three month mark. I contacted Amazon and they sent me to Dewalt. No one at dealt responded at first so I tried again and they sent me a set of instructions. Once the light is switched on it may operate normally, sometimes it shuts off sometimes it sticks and cannot be turned off and in some cases it will not turn on. I have tried multiple batteries, amperage ratings and after market batteries. It just seems to be a faulty switch and I cannot get Amazon or Dewalt to replace this one? Not sure what to offer to new buyers? Test it out as much as possible to see if the switch is good or bad. Mine worked fine for 3 months and no idea why it failed?

Out of all my tools, this one is used the most. It is like looking at the sun, and the battery lasts forever.

If you find yourself working in low light areas or need a crazy bright beam for any purpose, this is the light for you. I was doing a bit of plumbing under the kitchen and bathroom sinks and this was a perfect solution to put light on the subject. Easily stands on the flat battery and the head pivots (up and down) to direct the light. Using the light in its brightest mode will drain the battery about twice as fast as in the low beam mode but still lasts plenty long for most any project. Mine did not come with a belt clip but does have the loop for hanging on a belt hook.

I am needing an extra flashlight and this one is awesome!

This light has been improved over previous years. The one I purchased in 2021 does not have the red light that so many people complained about it. Instead it has replaced the red light so that now there is a bright mode in a dimmer mode essentially what people were asking for. The versatility of this light with the flex head and it’s ability to stand alone or comfortably be held with one hand or even suspended via a built in hook are all desirable features. In addition the light is extremely bright. It can light up a room and outdoors it can easily trough a wide bright beam 100 feet. This is a great light.

Very bright and clear light. Great for inspections on machinery.

This is my go to light when I want power, very sturdy, easy to use

This light is so bright and lite weight it’s amazing and the battery lasts forever no joke it will light up your life

Awesome light. Bought this to replace my Stanley Fat Max light that quit working and this Dewalt is so much better. First it all you can set it on the floor and adjust it where you need it for working. Second when Im using it at night its super bright especially out here in the country where its very dark at night, and third it uses the same battery as all my other Dewalt power tools so its very convenient. All in all its a great flashloght
