"DEWALT Cordless Fluorescent Area Light — 18 Volt, 13 Watts, Model# DC527"  Product Reviews

"Purshased 7/07 for a camping trip. I had the batteries from several tools I own so I figured why not. Not one complaint! Works great. Lasted over 4 hours per battery! Be sure to have another light on hand as when the battery dies its instantaneous. The hanger(hook) pops out and adjusts to any angle. Another DeWalt success story. Thumbs up !"

"The light arrived when promised. Excellent company, I would not hesitate to use them on the future."

"This light is a good example of why people buy DeWalt gear. It is as tough as their other tools and it takes the same 18v batteries as my drills and saws, it provides decent light for a work area for hours on a single charge without getting warm. Changine the bulb, if you ever need to, is simple; just twist the top and lift it off, plug in the new bulb, slide the top back on and twist until it clicks home. The hook is handy too, so you can hang it from a nail, stand it on the floor, lie it on its side. The light weighs so little that the battery is the majority of the weight, so it is very stable when standing on its base. This is also part of my earthquake kit, they always tell you to keep a light handy. Recently our island has a power cut, pitch black under an overcast. I went outside to see if the lights were out in the whole area and this light provided better illumination than the street lights usually do. It also provides light over more than 270 degrees, mostly to the front, and sides, but there's enough to the rear to see where your feet are when you are walking around in the dark. This much light for this price? Why are you still reading reviews, this is a no-brainer, just buy it already."

"The DeWalt DC527 Fluorescent Light has been an excellent addition to my DeWalt tool set. By already having extra 18v batteries around, there is always a charge available for this light. The light emitted is very bright and last for a very long time on a full battery charge. As can be expected because of the battery, the unit is a little heavier than an average light, however it feels very sturdy. This is definitely a must have for working in darkend areas (under the sink, in the attic, electrical wiring, etc)."
