Very nice flashlight
I am a plumber and I use all 18 voly DeWalt cordless tools, i.e drill, sawzall, circular saw, and this light. It's pivoting head is great for setting on a shelf or in the corner under a counter or vanity, cause when youre laying on you back working on a sink, you cant have the light always at a spot where it points directly up.

I am a fan of these 18v lights in general. This particular light, the head doesn't move directly up and down. The head rotates left and right at a 45 degree angle. Useable but just a tad awkward. But if you only have Dewalt batteries on the job, this light is a must. It seems fairly durable. I have already accidently dropped it from chest height on concrete with no injuries to light or bulb. Lucky? Overall I am pleased with this light.

HANDY LIGHT !!!
EASY TO USE, VERY CONVENIENT, VERY BRIGHT LIGHT, BATTERY IS LONG LASTING, FAIRLY LIGHTWEIGHT, PIVOTING HEAD MAKES A TWO PERSON JOB EASIER WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON TO DO THE JOB!

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.

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.
