Justin Hernandez Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Does anyone have the DCL050 Dewalt Area Light, if so what are the cons if any. How has the pivoting head held up and will this work well in an attic . Has the hook held up and can it be hung by a 2x4. I will probably be purchasing it this week unless you guys don't recommend it. ANy help is much appreciated, Thanks guys!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 One of the best stick lights out there! Great light output, the hinge seems like it could be stiffer though, the hook is good just wish there were other mourning options but overall if you have 20v max this lights a mustSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The only con like Jimbo said is the hinge could b a lil stiffer but other than that amazing light just yesterday with all the high winds we've been having my aunt came last night to barrow a light I lent her this one since I have about 3 of them and today she was ordering one on amazon great lights dude definitely one to recommend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yeah the hinge is pretty loose, but this was overall my favorite work light. Milwaukees included. I kept it in the door of my pickup because I used it so much. Awesome awesome light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looks like the M18 stick light, but far more affordable. Looks like great value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I have three of them. My favorite area light. Hinge is a bit loose but it's not a huge issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks guys!! I have heard that the hinge is a little loosey goose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 So yea Thanks again guys!! I'm pretty sure I would have bought it even if it didn't have the TIA crew approval just because its yellow..lol For some reason I was expecting it to be a little brighter but 500 lumens is 500 lumens. I just bought it this morning so I haven't used it yet so I guess time will tell I will be in an attic on Saturday. I'm hoping theirs no lights in the attic so I can use this 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foneguy Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Love mine, agree about the hinge. Keep it mind the light is a bit yellow, so brightness factor may be off by a lumen or two... ???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hernandez Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I used it today for the first time in its new home, the attic..lol Don't know if I could give it five stars but its nice it could be brighter and the hinge is loose. But I am super picky when it comes to tools, so my review probably won't matter. Its hard to see in this picture but the insulation is charred as well as the insulation on those white 14-2 romex's. The new yellow 12-2 is were the fire started and melted that wire, which I had to cut out the brunt section and splice it. An A/c contractor started a fire in the attic when installing a horizontal fan coil in the ceiling. If you zoom in you can see it better, I like how this had to happen in the lowest part of the attic..lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 is the light brushless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use a four pole brushed motor for the axial LED preloading as it has more low end torque, giving it 25% more joules at startup over competitors* offerings. *CoughMilwaukeecough 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I think another 7x more crunch resistance could be thrown in there as well, whatever that means... The axial transverse flow only comes into play when it warms up beyond its parallel pattern discharge efficiency 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
