What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this work light for its exceptional brightness and wide-area illumination that floods entire rooms and workspaces. Reviewers consistently commend the rugged construction, with many reporting the light remains fully functional after multiple drops and years of heavy use. The adjustable head, hanging hook, and compatibility with existing batteries are frequently cited as major advantages for hands-free positioning in tight spaces. Most customers call it the best work light they've ever owned, ideal for workshops, automotive repairs, attics, and emergencies. A few note the pivot mechanism could hold position more securely, but these minor concerns are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction.

Would RecommendThis light has been flexible in its uses in more ways than one. I’ve used it to light up a computer keyboard because I still need to be able to see the keys. I’ve used this to light up a dark corner. It stands well on its battery and hangs from its hook. It’s more of an area light then a spotlight which is what I would need.

This thing is invincible
Would RecommendI had this thing mounted to the front of my dirt bike and went down a hill climb and couldn't stop in time and had me and my bike fly into a tree and at 15 to 20 miles a hour and the light is where it hit the tree head on and it got ripped off and battery flew but the light didnt even have a scratch on it and works perfectly fine still unlike my knee which needed 17 stitches.

Very bright light!
Would RecommendThis area light does exactly what the name states, very bright light that illuminates whatever room or space your in. You can either set it on the ground and articulate the head or use the hook at the top on numerous places. I have been using this light for a few years now and I'm very pleased with this product!

Best overall light
Would RecommendI have all the DeWalt handheld lights. If I could buy only one this would be it. It throws light over a broad area and is very bright. It's great under a cabinet, hood of a car, in a crawl space or attic, and awesome for camping.

Great everyday work light!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DCL050 is an excellent all around light that is useful in a variety of applications. The 3-LED's in the unit can be set to low (250 lumens) for working in tight areas and to high (500 lumens) for illuminating larger areas. The head of the unit pivots to allow for precise positioning of the light on the work area and a rotating metal hook at the top allows it be hung when necessary. Any Dewalt 20V Max battery can be used to power the light a...

Surprisingly bright and durable
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this for a while, and like most of the tools I own I use them very roughly. I dropped this light from 35 ft and it didnt even flinch. Still works flawlessly. The fact that the light also bends backwards is very nice to get into some tricky spots.

Area light
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for the sole purpose of using it while tent camping. Light weight so it hung at the highest point of our tent. Lights up our entire tent. So bright that I had to use the lower setting so that it wasn’t so bright. Also works as a spot light. Again, very bright.

Outstanding light
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked this up from Napa a few weeks ago. I have a 4aH battery that I am using with my 20v system. Used the light for about 4 continuous hours, and the battery still showed “full”. The light itself is fantastic. Really illuminates the area well. If you don’t have one of these lights, stop what you are doing and get one.

Nice light
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light works pretty well and is nice and bright for its size. The head is heavy enough that the light will rip over if you try to stand it up on the battery and angle the head up or down. I switched to a 6AH battery and it's much better but still tippy. The head angle detent are not strong enough so it doesn't like to stay at the angle you set it at when standing. The hook pivots freely when extended so the light will twist away from...

Top Notch Area light for service work
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light is great for any service industry. As an electrician I use it anywhere and everywhere mainly working in panels and attics. This light is so good that I know the model number by heart because I recommend in so much. Now that's saying something!!!

Great light but....
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own about 4 of these and about 6 of the old florescent version. The led is a definite upgrade but could use a better detect on the flex head. It will become too loose and not hold firm when needed.

Died after two hours of use
Would Not RecommendJunk. After two hours of use the light died, I went ahead and swapped the battery with a freshly charged one, it turned on for a few seconds and turned off. I then decided to put my batteries on a Dewalt drill and surprise they worked. Don’t buy this expensive piece of junk, your better off with a real plugin drop light.

super handy work light
Would RecommendI have always known these as drop lights or work lights, not so much flashlights because it does not produce a beam, it lights up a wide area. It balances itself very well on the battery which you can't do with a corded drop light. i've dropped it several times with no issues, it's a solid built tool.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the light a few weeks ago I have used it with all my different size batteries with great results.

Long lasting durability
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had two these lights for several years on our dairy farm. They've been dropped in mud, muck, and manure and still work like the day we bought them. Nothing gets inside by the electronics.

Amazingly handy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a few months ago and it’s great! Best work light period. It’s bright and easy to position. The hook is very handy. If this one stops to function properly, I’m definitely repurchasing.

The Only Light You Will Need
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in South Florida, there will be a storm and you will lose power. I have a collection of lights and lanterns that I have used over the years incandescent, florescent and now LED. Nothing I've had compares to this light. Insanely bright for it's size. Versatility with the pivoting head to point the light where you want. Point it back and bounce it off the ceiling for an area light or shine it directly where you want. I'll add a coupl...
