   Dewalt cordless light-flexable neck

   I sure do like this light. Light is bright, and lasts a pretty good long time. The only thing that I didn’t like about it is that if you set it down on the battery, and raise the lamp up and point it down, it becomes unbalanced. but…that doesn’t hinder my using it…love the light.

   18V Not-so-versatile Pivoting Head Flashlight

   I was very excited to get this light…initially, I liked it. Out of the packaging, I hooked it up to the 18V battery and it worked, emitting a fairly bright beam. The sales ad says that it comes with an “extra” bulb, which was not included. I emailed Amazon regarding the issue and they sent a 2nd light to my address, instead of sending a bulb or two (?). It is worth mentioning the the re-ship did not have the extra bulb either. I had pretty much decided to just purchase the other light as well, thinking I could use one and leave one in the work truck as a spare. Then, I was using one of the lights, hit it pretty hard with a board I was using in an attic, and it fizzled. I went and got the other light, used it the rest of the morning, then went to use it in the afternoon and it was burnt out too – with little to no abuse (that I can remember). I sent both of the lights back – they aren’t as durable as they should be. Instead, I ordered two of the flexible-head lights (Dewalt 18V). A few of my friends have these and have had no issues. I will leave a review for those as well when I have had time to put them to the test. All in all, this is a bright light, but if you put your equipment to the test day-in and day-out, it might not be the quality you are looking for.

   OK for what it is, but seriously flawed by current standards

   The main flaw with this light would have been trivial in the recent past. Compared to other ways of providing light, even DeWalt ways, this is not an effective solution.

   I bought this to have a working light that also used the 18v power packs from my various DeWalt 18v tools. So far so good. But it really burns some power, it gets quite warm and the light doesn’t last as long and isn’t as bright as you would hope.

   I also have the DeWalt DC527 fluorescent light, it provides a much better working light, lasts longer and is easier to use to get light on your work. By comparison to the DC527 this is an uneven and yellowish light.

   This is more compact than the DC527 though, and it provides better range, fluorescent provides more white light, but only at limited range.

   Use and abuse this light

   Nothing new. Same as my 12V light that never dies. Gets banged around nicely and works well. Focus feature could be nice tho. As said before- love those bare tool deals.
