Looks like dewalt is giving milwaukee some competition in the lighting category. The area light also runs off of either the new 20v packs or the 18v pod style packs. It can also be plugged in as well. http://toolguyd.com/dewalt-20v-led-lights-dcl050-dcl060/?utm_source=tg_side&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=toolguyd_recent_posts
Looks nice but id pick the milwaukee lights still! Good find!
The smaller one is only $65 Stuart said. It is rated brighter and cheaper than the milwaukee m12 stick light.
They’re very nice and very competitive compared to the Milwaukee m12 and m18. The bigger light is goofy looking but I would still buy it
I would buy the m18 light compact and very versatile
I agree with Javier on the goofy look for the bigger light, but you have to love the fact that it puts out 1200 lumens. I also love the multiple power sources available for it.
It’s pretty nice that the area light takes stem and slide packs plus you can use AC power. The M18 light is a lot more compact though but lacks the AC option an xc 4.0 ah battery will probably keep the m18 light running along time, but if you need the extra battery to run a tool not everyone has a ton of extra batteries to use its nice to have the ac option its the same with the Dewalt 20v vacuum that supports AC power. It’s just nice to be able to plug a tool in sometimes
Guys we expect to have’em in stock very soon. Will certainly post if and when that happens and give you some honest feedback regarding brighrtness and practicality in regards to the ergonomics, size, etc

In light (no pun intended) of the rather “unique” design of the larger unit, the feedback on ergonomics & overall practicality would be welcome. If it performs well, it is going on my Father’s Day wish list.

I guess he meant for toolnut.com
If toolnut.com has it for $50 each. I will definitely buy both:) just saying… Lol….
I’ll be getting one or both. The specs are really good.
I have been looking for a light like this for a while. I was not sure that the DCL040 packed enough punch so I have been holding off. I like that it will be both 250 and 500 lumens. This could really come in handy.
