DeWalt DW919 18-Volt Flexible Floodlight, No Battery

I used one of these at work and liked it so much I bought one for home. Then I bought another one for work. It's "snake" handle is very flexible, giving it the ability to wrap around or hang from almost anything in order to direct the beam. It casts a very bright, focused beam of light which can also cast very dark shadows.

DeWalt also makes a fluorescent light that is much better when you need a flood light. I use them both depending on the type of light I need (spot or flood).

A fully charged 18 volt battery will shine for about 4-6 hours making it difficult to get through the day with out two batteries. If you don't already have tools that use these batteries and its charger, the cost of them would probably make this light prohibitively expensive.

The price on these go up and down, I've seen them for less that $10 (which is when I pick them up) but they can also be much higher.

One warning... The light bulbs (it comes with one spare) are very difficult to find and expensive ($9 per pair). If you can't find them locally, you could spend as much to replace the whole light as it costs to replace the light bulbs.

Bought this to go with my Dewalt drill. I really like it because with the battery its heavy enough to keep it in place i can use flexible neck to direct light right where i want it .its like having third hand to hold light.

I always thought this thing was kind of a joke. While it is combo filler, it is also very usefull, the flex is rigid and stays where you point it. At least sofar being only 2 weeks old. Bright enough to see, this is not a surefire. I even hung it from some pipes and it worked. I grab this light for more jobs that I ever thought I would.

An multi LED version or better yet a combo LED/incandescent would be a good redesign for the nano version. I dont like the feel of 100% LED lamps.

Anyways, very good lamp but didn't come with extra bulb, hence four stars.

The floodlight arrived in good condition, but the extra bulb that it is supposed to come with was missing and the packaging looked like it had already been opened. The price of the missing bulb wasn't worth the hassle of returning but this makes me suspicious of Amazons suppliers and/or practices.

Very simple and handy item. Being able to twist it around to position the light has proved helpful under the hood of my car. Bought it on a whim while looking at something else on Amazon. Good decision. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that it could have had a feature to change from spot to flood and maybe it could have been LED or halogen, all in all it's a great item to have around.

I bought this last summer with the porta vacuum and used it around the house a bit and though it was OK -- then I realized that it is the holy grail for grilling at night when you don't want to turn on flood lights and attract the bugs. Uses the same battery as the vac. One of my best buys....

This is the greatest - and handiest - work lamp I've ever purchased. The long flexible neck enables me to see into locations impossible to illuminate with a flashlight.
