Stercorarius Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Anybody have any experience with the DCL050 and/or Milwaukee 2362-20? Any thoughts. If no one convinces me one or the other is better I'm going to be inclined to buy both. I'm what you could call substantially invested in both platforms. I've used the 18v version of the Milwaukee and I gotta say that apart from the shoddy construction it was one of the best I've used. I get that I'm comparing apples to oranges here, two different styles of lights, but I'm just curious if anyone gets a lot of use out of either.

It is by my side when the weather is bad. And working in the dark. As for the Dewalt, on my list to get. That and the Milwaukee 18v version 2352-20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah I have the M18 lantern and it is nice, also an added bonus on both the Milwaukee lanterns is they have a USB charging port on them which makes them fantastic power-sources for your phone in a pinch. The stick lights and lanterns are kinda different use scenarios though. The lanterns are much better at lighting up a large area or a whole small room when set to 360˚ mode. A stick light is better for saturating a small work area of specific interest. I also have the Milwaukee LED stick light and love it. The Dewalt stick is supposed to be pretty good but Milwaukee's color rendition on their LED lights is second to none. They give a really nice light coloration that doesn't look too artificial, not that blue headache inducing color most LED's give off. Also it makes working under the light easier as it makes things look more true to their natural color. I might sound like Milwaukee's marketing department boasting about their TRUEVIEW™ tech but I'm a long time Reef tank keeper who's bought thousands of $$$ in state of the art lighting for my tanks and a bit of an LED snob so I care about such things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I hVe the Dewalt, I grab that thing over a lot of other lights, you get a great work area with it and it has two light settings. Good sturdy light it isn't too heavy or anything. Only downfall I wish it had a hook instead of the ring on top. Highly recommend this light, paid 40 for it on Black Friday and it was worth every penny!JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 So what I gather is that both are fantastic lights and guys will recommend whatever they have. Looks like I'll have to buy both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even just add a medium size carabiner on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 The Milwaukee and Dewalt are really 2 different lights. This is the light that would be more comparable to the Dewalt your looking at. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2351-20That said I love my Milwaukee lantern light its pretty awesome you can either have 180 or 360 light depending on you needs.

cmorales Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 For me I prefer for Milwaukee 2362-20 because it brighter especially in underground areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I like my milwaukee single LED light and I'm guessing because it lasts so long with a XC battery... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Like comp said if your really going for value and want a nice light, more of a flashlight, the M12 is really an awesome light, has crazy run time.JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
