Led Work Light for DeWalt 20v Battery,Portable Led Flood work light with Low Voltage Protection,USB&TYPE-C Charging Port for car repairing/outdoor camping/hiking/fishing/emergency

I've been "collecting" work lights for years. I have several old fashioned 110V hang-from-the-hood mechanics lights that use regular incandescent bulbs. One dates back to the sixties. You probably know how useless (and hot) they can be and how easily they break. I have a tubular fluorescent 110V (not bright enough), a Craftsman rechargeable LED (not bright enough), a DeWalt 12V and a DeWalt 18V. Both DeWalts are flashlights with updated LED bulbs. Neither is particularly useful for, say, changing your oil or fixing the plumbing under your kitchen sink. Why? Because they are not floodlights and merely focus a bright spot of light in one small area. Neither was of much use when I was installing new valve covers on my Mustang. Ditto my Milwaukee 18V.So, after ordering 4 new 20V 5AH DeWalt batteries as a Christmas present to myself, I decided to see if there were any new and improved DeWalt battery powered work lights available. When I discovered a whole new array of LED floodlights that would snap onto the new batteries, I decided to give one a try. But, I was overwhelmed with the variety of choices. So, after reading reviews until I needed new lenses for my reading glasses, I decided on this one. I knew it was made in China and I feared it would be too fragile to drag around my cars, boat and general house projects. And, would it provide the kind of illumination I really wanted?OK, here's my experience so far: I've already used it under the hood and under the car. Perfecto! Then, when the outside temp got down to 4 degrees, the power went out and so did the furnace. At night. This little light lit up the entire living room like a couple of table lamps were turned on high. The 5AH battery never broke a sweat. By now, I've used it several times for extended periods. The light never seemed to get all that hot and has a generous aluminum heat sink on the back. It has a built in hanger, which should be useful, and is easy to install on and remove from the DeWalt battery. The battery makes a great anchor for the light and keeps the light from falling over like a flashlight sometimes does, yet the light itself can tilt.Final verdict: It may or may not be super tough, but with a little care, I believe it will be useful for a long time. It's just plain bright on low or high, but the light is evenly spread out over a large area. In other words, it is a true flood light, which is far more useful than a flashlight for most of my projects. Finally, I left it attached to one of my brand new batteries for three days (turned off) and the battery still showed a full charge. So, at long last, I finally have a work light that is actually useful. When and if it breaks, I'll update this review.UPDATE 2-14-23Yesterday, I realized that I had NOT removed the battery from this light after last using it. That was about 2 weeks ago. As other users have reported, the battery, a nearly brand new 5AH unit, was totally dead. Fortunately, it did accept a charge, but in the future, I will separate the battery from the light when not in use. I am very satisfied with the light itself. It is mega useful.

Great light. Works perfectly. Perfect for working on vehicle roadside repair or any project needing more light than provided by a flashlight. Perfect for emergencies and power outages or anywhere where a large areas needs to illumination.

A good light, Dewalt battery slipped right in, worked well. a little small overall makes it harder to move the angle of the light without picking it up, adjusting, put it back, adjust again. Mostly works great nice and lightweight.

Anyone who uses Dealt tools usually have quite a few extra batteries laying around. These lights are a perfect companion for them. They are lightweight and really put out some light for emergencies or camping. Well worth the money.

I really like the fact that I can use my DeWalt 20v batteries on this!It is very very bright and will be awesome camping, or if the power goes out or even on the side of the road in an emergency.This thing is as bright as anyone needs!!Very happy with it!

False claims about low-voltage battery protection: "OFF" does not fully disconnet battery. It will fully deplete the battery to a point that it can no longer be recharged. I bought this one after I saw that the claimed it had low voltage protection since I had lost a very expensive high AHr battery before. I don't know if it would turn off at 15 volts like it claims if it was left on because I had turned mine off, but left it attached to the battery. I suspect that their fatal design error is that the USB charging port board is upstream of any low-voltage cut-off AND that they draw power even when nothing is plugged into the USB charging ports. I am very disappointed in this fatal flaw. Otherwise, the build quality is very good (not "job site tough" like DeWalt products but certainly "home use" quality which is fine for me. I strongly encourage the manufacter to fix their circuitry and continue to produce these. (And no, just putting a line of text in the packaging saying something like "do not leave attached to battery when not in use" is not acceptable." I have seen errant manufacturers do that before. I don't know why they can't just think through the design and get it right up front, but there are a lot of third-party battery-destroying products on the market for some sad reason.)

Very well priced and works with Dewalt 20V batteries. Give off an incredible amount of light!

Beware. I think this lamp will slowly discharge the battery while in storage and not turned on. This may ruin the expensive battery. Always remove battery when in storage.
