5 out of 5 stars
If you already own Dewalt batteries, this is a great backup flashlight.
This is not the brightest or most compact light in the price range, but it was on sale when I bought it and I own several large Dewalt batteries. By purchasing this light, I've instantly got a rechargeable flashlight that can last for an entire day (ok, I didn't measure, but wearing one of my 9.0ah flexvolt batteries, it's going to last a LONG time). For "110 lumens" this light is surprisingly useful. It has a spot/flood combo beam pattern. With a pencil beam in the middle, it can illuminate things a long ways away. I know that sounds silly for a 110 lumen light, but it genuinely surprised me. The photo is me shining the light to check on some cows. The flood aspect of the beam is also wide enough and bright enough to see everything I need to while walking around at night. I've also got a couple 500 lumen flashlights that blow this away though for close-up work. The surprise is that at 110 lumens, I thought this would be barely worthwhile even as a backup. Instead, it's so handy its become the flashlight I most use even though I have others that are lighter or more powerful.

    less troublesome than a wired work light especially in a lite basement when locating foundation cracks or alerting the wild life in a backyard that the protector is making rounds. I remember there was a work light with what seemed like a half sized car battery attached to it it was bright and portable but not like this in comparison it's like a brick and a sponge.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Work Light Companion for Any Task
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2025

    I absolutely love the DEWALT 20V MAX* LED Work Light / Flashlight (DCL040)! It's a game-changer for all my projects, providing bright and reliable illumination. The convenience of switching between a work light and a flashlight is amazing - 🌟 no need for multiple tools! The compact design makes it easy to carry around, and the long battery life ensures it lasts through my tasks. I highly recommend this versatile tool for anyone needing a reliable light source. The only downside is that the battery and charger are sold separately, but it's a small price to pay for such a handy gadget. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase and can't imagine working without it now. 🛠️💡👌
