Bosch 12 Volt LED light - who's using one?

[Sine Swept]

I've got 2 now as I really liked the first one. The second cost me 1/2 what the first did which is why I have 2!

Do you mean the FL12? I have one and really like it.

Ive had the 18v version for about a decade now and I really like mine.

I have two of the ones pictured above and I love them. I got the second one because I like the first one so much. They are great for using as under hood lights because you can stick them to the hood and angle them where you want the light to be. If those are the ones you were talking about, I highly recommend them.

Have them, and love them. I'd highly recommend them.

With the one issue that their thermal overload protection cuts in quickly when working in a hot summertime attic. Probably over 125* in the attics though, so I don't fault the light too much.

On my list. Downside to Bosch over m12 stuff is battery size and price.. How's the runtime with the 2.0?

 

[Southernbuild]

I have to swap batteries probably once a week. Likely an hour or two a day.

Long term battery life is good, I'm still using 2 of the labeled 10.8v batteries that are 5+ years old.

Physical battery size is virtually the same as the M12 version. They look like the same battery pack, with the exception of the lower plastic housing that holds the battery to the tool.

Ok that's not bad, I meant size as in 4ah 6ah ect. I have the 3/8" impact wrench and love it. Always have a second battery hanging out so I have had my eye on this for a while. Cheapest I see it is 49 shipped..anyone do better?

I have one an love it, they ain't cheap but worth every penny. I also have the 12V drill, driver, sawzall, vacuum and forget what else!

I love the FL12, I got 3 of them. its small and articulating head is great for lighting up my work area. I usually place them at different angles to eliminate shadowing and give an even illumination.

great light. I use mine all the time stuck under the hood when working on the car, throw it under the car angled up when changing oil or doing anything under the car. Great light and easy to set it up and aim it where you need it. I also have brushless drill, impact, recip saw in the 12v line. I have four batteriies and two chargers.
