Inexpensive and indespensible
I love this light. One 2 amp hour battery lasts for a long time. This is one of the least expensive DeWalt cordless tools out there, but it’s built well, shines brightly, and is rugged like everything else DeWalt makes.

Best hand held spotlight I ever bought.
Perfect hand held spotlight, easy to carry, extremely bright and very well made. I was surprised to see it lit up my entire backyard 150 ft from the house. Best part is the rechargeable battery is removable so if two batteries are available one can always be on the charger.

A Winner—Believe Me!
DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light—an absolute GAME CHANGER, folks. The brightness? INCREDIBLE, lights up the room like nobody thought possible. It’s sturdy, reliable, and lasts forever with my DEWALT batteries. Perfect for any job—construction, DIY, even just finding stuff in the dark. Other lights? Total disasters—dim, cheap, and embarrassing. This one? A HUGE win. Believe me!

Another fine Dewalt product!
I am a big fan of Dewalt products because of there small handles and front release batteries. My hands are very small and I truly appreciate their design. I recommend Dewalt products to other females every chance I get. That said, I agree with another reviewer in that it does have a cheep plastic feel. But that might be to offset the weight of the battery to make it easier to use.It has an excellent bright light and is super simplistic in design and use. High in function and no frills. I will use this light often.Now for the zinger: the instructions are a morass of putrid glop. Someone really dropped the ball. It consists of a single sheet of paper, folded like a map, that unfolds into a sheet of paper the size of a Volkswagen Bug. Gads! Hey guys, ever heard of a booklet?!? 🙄

Awesome light
Great little inspection light. Very light and compact. I have more dewalt batteries than I can use and having a dedicated 2.0 battery for this tool is the only reason I got it. The light it produces isn’t too bright and does have a bit of a ‘hotspot’ but I don’t really care as this is meant as a quick inspection light and nothing more. Only gripe is it didn’t come with the belt hook.

Unit shines bright
First LED spotlight was defective and missing belt clip. The replacement LED spotlight shines bright and switch works as it should. Second unit still missing the belt clip as shown in picture and description. Keeping this unit. Still wish it had the belt clip.

Powerful light
If you have other Dewalt 20v battery tools this is a great light to get. It’s illumination beam is very bright and offers two brightness settings. Its “full” brightness setting shines from my back door to the back of my lawn some 700 feet away. The variable positing feature of the light head is quite useful as is the metal hanging loop built into the light. Highly recommend.

Plenty bright and perfect if you run Dewalt 20v tools
Bought this to replace a failing rechargeable handheld floodlight.High mode is even brighter and has a longer distance beam than previous light. I do wish it had a 3rd setting for low output.We’re rural so there are no street or ambient lighting from nearby towns. Perfect for those already using Dewalt 20v tools.

This is not a review of the like ‘I like the packaging and it was delivered fast’.Such reviews are waste of bytes of storage and do not help you.I have owned this light for 2 years and now ordered a second one when it went on sale.Yes the light is pricier and there are knock offs…but…Dewalt makes special kind of plastic that although appears hard, has some plasticity and give in it. It won’t break on impact. And that is a big deal. The cheap knock offs all use really crappy brittle plastic; most won’t survive even a 2′ fall on hard surface, and that is not a joke (same goes for knock off batteries; brittle and not the reported capacity; you have been warned).The light has 2 mode of brightness and the brightest setting is just insane. It goes very, very far and lights up a decent area in far distance (but obviously none near you as this is NOT a floodlight).The light’s battery durability is average. On the lower setting it will last much longer. To give a perspective:- 1.7ah small battery: about 20mins of continuous lighting; about 12mins on bright setting- 4ah knock off battery: about 3 hours on low setting; 2hours on high settingConstruction is well thought out. The hook on top is great. The head swivels in a ratcheting fashion, so there are several positions from 90 degrees to 180 degrees and the ratcheting makes sure the head stays in that position.In 90 degree configuration, you can put it down and it stays nicely put sitting on top of the battery.In 180 position, with a smaller battery up to about 4ah, it is so nicely balanced in your hand that it does not tip backward or forward much.Overall this is an amazing light; the best I have owned in 25y of using various lights. Highly recommended
