DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light DCL040 – 110 Lumen, 120° Rotating Head, Hands-Free Hook

Meet the DEWALT 20V MAX LED Work Light DCL040, a compact and durable lighting companion suited for busy spaces such as workshops, garages, and on site tasks. With 110 lumens of bright LED output, it helps reveal fine detail and improve visibility without the glare or heat associated with older bulb types. The light runs cooler than xenon alternatives, making it more comfortable to use during longer sessions and in tighter crawl spaces where heat can be distracting.

One of the design highlights is the 120-degree rotating head. This feature lets you steer the beam toward the exact area you need to illuminate, whether you are inspecting wiring behind a panel, aligning components on a shelf, or checking fasteners in a dim corner. An integrated hook adds hands-free versatility, allowing you to hang the light from a pegboard, under a shelf, or on a ladder rung while your hands remain free for measuring, drilling, or tightening hardware.

The DCL040 uses an efficient LED bulb to maximize run time and minimize frequent replacements. Exact runtime depends on the battery amp hour you pair with the unit, with a broad range of 11 to 25 hours in typical use. Note that a compatible DEWALT 20V MAX battery and charger are sold separately, giving you the flexibility to tailor the setup to your existing toolkit and power needs.
