Lights

[MikeComeau]

I am in the market for a battery operated work light and the only "Good" quality on I can find is the night stick

I was hoping to find something with a little more lumens, but still battery powered. Any ideas?

Why not go with something like the Dewalt work light?

X2 Dewalt work light...

The problem i have with the dewalt is I have to charge an 18volt battery, where the night stick I just need 4 "AA"s. I am a Millwright Contractor I cant always plug in a charger

I bought a cheap rechargable LED light stick from BJ's Wholesale for around $15. I'm quite happy with it. It's plenty bright, and uses a wall wart to charge.

The DeWalt work light is great, but it is big and rather heavy. It is also one of a couple 18V tools that will not take the LiIon pack without modifications (the other is the corded/cordless wet-dry vac). Supposedly DeWalt will modify these tools at a service center to accept the LiIon packs. It's a simple shaving off of some plastic inside the battery receptacle to clear blocking tabs that only the LiIon batteries have.

EZRed has one that many like for about $12 most places. I use a head light and a assortment of flashlight type things. Flashlight on some kind of tripod can work well too.

If the Dewalt won't work, than have you checked out the Gyros magnalite's? They have a 26 LED light as well as a 36 LED light that might work out for you.
