Funny- does not seem put out as much light as 18v. Both tested with LI ion battery
The thing they told me was the earlier versions of the lights have a defect in the little hose deal from the body to the actual light. It can easily come disconnected and prevent the light from working. I have yet to keep it on for 8 hours yet, but so far the battery hasn't died on me yet. One of the things that I am worried about with this guy is the fact that I have heard (possibly rumors) that if you over-discharge the battery, it can be permanently damaged in lithium technology. -If anyone knows about this please comment on it.The last and main point I want to make that most probably don't know is this: I had bought this light online and the first time I used it the thing broke on me. I don't know if I should be putting this on the web, but I wanted to give everyone the lowdown on this light.This light does a pretty good job of lighting your work area, but not near as good as corded.
The main reason I bought it was for the long (supposed 8 hr) battery life. I have kept it on for a couple hours strait. Luckily I have a service center very near my house, so I took it in. The Bosch litheon light has an auto shutoff feature to prevent this but I have yet to hear about this feature on DeWalts light. It is a bit fragile too and doesn't seem to stand up to tough job-site conditions as well as i thought it would. This is not a problem with the other tools in the DeWalt 36v series because they lose power when its time to charge.
However, they fixed it in later models and sent me a brand new one free of charge The problem lies with this light because it can use a battery all the way to the point of over-discharging.
