DeWalt DCL074 20V All Purpose Cordless Work Light (Tool Only)

I've been using it now for 7 months and it is definitely a great light when you need to light up a significant area. Best results are achieved if you can hang it up side down like a ceiling light. For that purpose the Bluetooth remote control is great. You only need to climb the ladder to change batteries. The latter is taxing unless you have 9 or 12 Ah ones. Reducing brightness helps to extend the batteries. We used this light as the main light in a 250 sq ft room for 3 months. 30% brightness was plenty and the 12Ah battery only needed changing once a day.

I bought this light a while back & I couldn't be more happy with this product. The light it provides can easily light up my entire living room or garage with no problems. I also love how the batteries are the same batteries I use for most of my dewalt tools. I have tried a lot of lights & none of them compare to this dewalt light, not even close. If you have a fully charged battery you are able to get hours of use from a fully charged dewalt battery. I gave this light 5 stars because it is my favorite light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this light about a month ago. The area light has been a great tool for almost all indoor jobs. Has several great features such as the eco mode. Light has great run time on 20v batteries. Extremely bright white light on highest setting. All 3 brightness settings have there place on the job site. A great plus is the tool connect option. No need to go to the light and change settings, just do it right from phone. Light comes with 2 easy ways to hang or mount the light. Light is rugged and has withstood the job site. Would be a great purchase for anyone needing a great large area light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to put this work light to the test almost immediately. Our office building lost power and we needed to get to the main fuse box and pump room. We needed our hands free and for our safety a lot of light.The Dewalt All Purpose Work Light did just that! It was bright as daylight not the yellow glow you get with other work lights. No cords to trip over. You can laid and hang practically anywhere. With a tough cage it took a couple of hits without compromising the lighting. The battery compartment is a plus! You never have to worry about your battery being lost or coming off. I use the DCB205 battery with it and it when 2 hours straight and it still had 3 bars. The battery compartment can hold one DCB205 and store one DCB203 battery. Or it can use one DCB203 and store 2 of the same batteries.Granted the Work Light can have a bit of weight but that's always a good thing. It means its durable. Let's not forget the awesome feature of Tool Connect to track it down. I Highly recommend this Work Light. Its durable, tough and reliable. I loved it so much that i purchased the DW0737 Heavy Duty Tripod to go with it. Try it you won't be disappointed.

This area light is amazing! The versatility of being able to set it up in a bedroom, kitchen, or bath really helps out a lot because it literally brightens the whole room. The battery life is pretty good on the highest setting but make sure you have a couple extra charging if you are going to be using it all day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this light for the past couple of weeks. I work in the northeast and it can be pretty gloomy in the spring. The light is great. It is built very well and seems like it will last for quite some time. On high it is very bright (5000 lumens). Too bright to look at. It will last most of the day on a flexvolt 6ah battery in the brightest setting. I haven't tried the dimmer settings yet. The hang hook on the bottom is great I usually just hang it off the strapping over my cut station. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an ac plug on it for when power is readily available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light is bright. The Bluetooth control feature is almost a necessity. It is almost too bright to turn on at the switch. Connecting and control with the Tool Connect app was simple and intuitive. Illuminates the work area very well from floor, tripod, or overhung positions. My only complaint, and it's minor, no plug so it can be used as a corded light. Perhaps another model is on the way with a cord and possibly a speaker?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] DCL074 is a great light, it provides the best lighting when hung from the ceiling. The light has a great run time when not at the highest setting around 10 hours. When at the High setting expect to get about 3 to 4 hours of run time on a 6-amp hour battery. The downside to this light is the tool connect. The control stopped working after sitting for three days of non-use and will not reconnect. Had to take it in for support to get the issue resolved. Other than that, this a great light that that can handle job site tough conditions. Would have given this light a 5 star rating if not for the tool connect issue.

As others stated, the base no longer has threaded area to mount to tripod. Extremely disappointing and false description. I bought the light and separate tripod to light up work areas. Returning both and looking at Milwaukee options as they also have corded power option in addition to battery. I was already tempted to go with Milwaukee, but own so many Dewalt tools that it's hard to justify cut over. Since they also have corded power built into their battery powered light, it will be easier to transition. I own 1 Milwaukee battery, but starting to look at more of their options and migrate over. The light really sent me over the edge since EVERYWHERE it says it's compatible with the tripod, but actually is not. Shame on Dewalt.

The light is very good… but they changed the base of the light and it is not compatible with tripods anymore. There are no tripods holes! But, everywhere, including on DeWalt website, it is still shown compatible with tripods… So the guy before me was completely right: this is, at best, misleading.
