DeWALT has announced a new 20v Max LED spotlight, the DCL043.
The DCL043 has two illumination settings; high, which outputs 1,000 lumens of bright white light, and low, which switches to a red LED that outputs 90 lumens of light.
DeWALT says that the lower powered red LED will help to stretch battery life, and that the red light should help preserve night vision. In total there are 4 LEDs – 3 white and 1 red. As with DeWALT’s other 20V Max handheld LED flashlights and worklights, this one has a pivoting head with 90° of adjustability.
The DCL043 can be placed on the floor or other flat surfaces standing up for hands-free operation, and a hanging hook allows for even more placement flexibility. As if all that wasn’t enough, it’s also water and dust resistant with an IP54 rating. There is also a bit of rubbery over-molding to help protect the spotlight casing. The lens is also recessed a little, which should help protect it from impacts, and there is what looks to be a very large enclosed heatsink that should help the spotlight remain cool in your hands.
Price: $89.00 (without battery or charger)

Looks like a cool durable light……. I WANT IT!!!
nice looking lamp
$89??? I want TWO!
I really don’t have a need for this, but man do I want it. Now I have to go figure out a way to sell the idea to my better half.
Easy enough Illini… My wife uses my DCL040 to spot deer in our backyard, the moment I told her DEWALT was coming out with one 10 times as bright, she said we had to have one ASAP!!!!
🙂
The red LED will help to prevent startling the deer. I use a red/green on my rifle.
