5.0 out of 5 stars Good second light for wide illumination, March 31, 2006

This is a nice addition to the De Walt 18 volt cordless lineup. I have used the gooseneck light for years. Since I have a plethora of 18 volt batteries from other tools in the series, it makes sense for me to use this for lighting as well.

The gooseneck does a better job for task specific lighting like under a sink or peering between studs. I use this one to provide overall lighting where the power is completely out in a room or space, and it isn't worth bringing in power cords from elsewhere or setting up a generator. This augments my gooseneck nicely.

I have used this light for three weeks doing rewiring. Do not purchase it and use it as your ONLY light source in a totally dark location. The incandescent models will fade and dim when the battery voltage drops. This fluorescent will stop suddenly with no warning when the voltage goes below what the electronics need to drive the lamp. For safety's sake, use it to augment other lighting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Bright, May 24, 2006

By	Jim (Virginia) - See all my reviews

I bought this thinking it would just be good for lighting a room or area, but it's great for lighting under the hood of the car or working under the kitchen sink. It's brighter than I expected. It stands up on the battery as a base or hangs on the hook. So far, I like everything about it. One thing to remember, it doesn't fade like an incandescent light, but goes off completely when the battery runs out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most useful light I've owned, August 30, 2006

By	Garage Junkie "Bob P" (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

A worthy addition to my 18V tools. This is now the first light I reach for when I'm in the dark. My wife thinks I'm in the dark most of the time. I am very pleased with this purchase and recommend this light to anyone who already has the 18V system.
