This light worked fine for a day and then quit. I tried replacing the bulb to no avail. Then made the mistake of opening the unit to see if there was a loose wire- never could get it reassembled.

I bought this along with Dewalt's DW908 (which works flawlessly). This light did its job and did it well for about 2 months. One evening while working in the garage with it, it just stopped working. Nobody hit it, dropped it, etc. It was hanging under the hood throwing off light and poof...it just died. I changed out the battery to a fully charged one and the light would not work. I bought a replacement bulb, still nothing. I put a multimeter into the bulb sockets (there are 4 so I tried all combinations)....no power. I called and emailed DeWalt and never got a response. It's too bad. I own the other light along with some of their 18V power tools and they all work great. giving this 1 star due to the fact that it did not last and I got no reply from DeWalt about it.
Defective Product May 12, 2009

After two to four hours of actual use over the five months I've had this light, the light flickered and went out. The ballast was defective and the light will have to be sent in for repair. I assume that this is an exception for DeWalt products. Very disappointing.
Update: I took the light to 125 Tools Inc. in Plaistow, NH, a local DeWalt service center. They replaced the base and I have not had any problems with the replacement. I am happy with the light as well as my other DeWalt tools.
 As good as corded April 9, 2009
Moon-tai Yeung (Pasadena, CA)
Very good general purpose lighting. It ran for 2+ hours even on my old 18v batteries. Please do note that the lamp goes out quite suddenly at the end!
On a side note, I used it on a patching job under the sink. It worked well while mudding, but not with the sanding and touch up because the white light on the dried patching compound resulted in a total blurr.
Honestly, I only recommend this for the price I paid - $25 last year (gave that one away) and $28 this time. Won't paid over $30 for it.
AREA LIGHT SAVES THE DAY February 7, 2009
Michael J. Eurich
I have a problem with sump water in my basement. It pumps 5 gal. every 5 min. When we have a power outage I have to get my generator started and hooked up to the house. I have used a flashlight before and is a huge problem trying to fill the gas tank and hold the light. The DEWALT DC527 area light solves this problem. I just set it on the work bench and take care of the generator then restart the unit. This is a well thought out solution to my problem.
