Great review! thank you for sharing your thoughts and the examples of the different, not only models, but the different intensities between the batteries used... that was awesome! Thank you very much! 😉👍
so I am a bit of a light nerd as well, I tend to also focus on beam intensity, especially when it comes to "spotlights". That is, how long the beam can "throw" for distance. The measurement I saw most often is "Candelas". Lumens means nothing if you can't focus it into a really bright intense beam. The light I use as an example is the Streamlight Dualie, it is a dual purpose flashlight, roughly $30 now, uses 3 AA batteries, and it uses identical C4 LEDs for both its beam and spread. the difference is the spread obviously has no focusing, and is great for walking around, and the beam is great for focusing at a distance. I love that little light, beam lasts forever, and the spread was great for working inside motor controllers and other tight spaces. That being said, I only have the dewalt DCL050 at home, mainly for power outages at home.
Thanks for explaining this. I cant believe they left them the same number. I just bought the type 2 not knowing it was different and wouldnt have the red light
Great video. Huge difference with the batteries. Makes me want to buy 9 amp immediately. I only have 5 amps. I have the TYPE 1 and have noticed the batteries do not seat well. Light will intermittedly go off and requires it to be jostled to come back on (light jostle). I assumed battery was dying. But, you say 6 plus hours. I was 30 mins in. Ever have that issue? Quick fix?
No, I haven't had that issue. Not sure how old your light is, but Dewalt is quite good at looking after you. Try contacting them. I'm not sure how much you use your light or how many Dewalt tools you have, but the 9ah is not cheap. You may be better off buying one of the other brand lights that offer more features. Thanks for commenting and I'll give my Type 2 a try with the 5ah tonight and let you know how long it lasts.
I tried a fully charged 5 ah battery on the light today. It ran 6 and a half hours before blinking to let me know that the battery was low. The brightness was not as good as when I started, but was still useable.
Funny you should ask. There’s a farm field in back of our house and I was using the light last week. At two hundred meters, I was able to see several deer in the field.
i had red led switched to 4 white led much better light weight 12 ah runs days fav lightbbut ryobi spot is no joke either i like ryobi dor sum things an de2alt for others hard use item hate milwalk/makita/rigid lights vrery week an i started with hyper tuff fore a few years untill i fond dwwalt10 pak starter for 400
I think of you find a retailer with new stock, you should get the new model. I ordered mine from Amazon, even though the specs listed were for the old light. They didn’t show stock when I ordered it, so I suspected that I would get a newer version when it came. I was right.
Any idea if this light would be good for spotting racoons high in spruce or very well leafed trees? I guess what I'm asking is the 'spot' fairly narrow at 50 feet. I don't want to light up the whole tree,
Hi Bill! Thanks for commenting. I have used this light many times to light up racoons. It does an excellent job and has quite a hot spot in the middle. However, it does have some spill. So, there will be a halo that will also light up some of the tree. How much, I guess that is somewhat subjective. Perhaps you could purchase one from Amazon and if it doesn't suite your taste, you could return it. Let me know how you make out!
@@ometofu I ordered mine from Amazon.ca. They had the old specs listed, but I figured I was going to get the new version because it was out of stock when I ordered it. I was right, I received the new version. I just planned to send it back if it was the same as the one I already had. I find that Amazon doesn't always update their website to reflect the new specs.
Red light preserves your night vision. In other words, when you use the light and then turn it off, your eyes don't take as long to readjust to the darkness.
That was PAINFUL to watch. You talk WAY too much and repeat yourself over and over again. That could have been a CLEAN 3-4 minute video instead of 11+.
@@pitcherthis6483 anytime. Finally bought that bloody light(awhile ago) because of your review. Turned out I revived the wrong one. Buggar. Got the right one finally. Thanks all to your review.
I just bought this light for 79$ cad.,tried a 2.0 ah battery on it and couldn’t believe how bright it was,I love it. Greetings from British Columbia 😎
How much time this lamp does work?
Great review!

Excellent Review. You answered questions that I could not easily find online.
Clear difference between all the batteries, wow!!!

Lol ya I've got Dewalt lights like this and have several nitecore and Fenix flashlights can't get enough

Good point. It is a change in design, so they should have changed the model number.
Did you manage to buy type 1? I wanna buy it so fast, i lost mine
Good info......just had to turn volume all the way up to hear you
I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I’m working on the volume thing.

How is it distance wise? Could it be used for spotting deer?

Hoy la compré, ilumina muy bien !!! 👍🏼
Thank you ,I will go check tomorrow.

Will you keep your older Type 1? Ive got both types now as well (UK)
I sold the Type 1 to help pay for the upgrade. Plus, I didn’t need the red light feature.
Were did you get that light, We don't have them down here yet USA.

@@pitcherthis6483 Thanks John. I'll get one.
Jest moc💪
How do you tell the difference between the two when buying them?
They both have the same model number, except that the 1000 lumen model is Type 1 and the 1500 lumen model is Type 2.
The numbers on the box
Thanks for your vidéo. I didnt know they sale 2 différent dcl043. Biger battery is better too. Thanks
Great review!
Thank you for review
Nice review. Thanks
Would 3 amp battery work?
Yes, as long as it’s a 20V.
Title says spotlight but you are saying flashlight. Which is it? There is a big difference.
Dewalt calls it a spotlight. That’s what’s on the package.
Have your heard of the sofirn brand they make great light at a good price i would say check out their website great stuff
Thanks for commenting! I will check them out.
Type 12 is out even brighter with 1500 lumens
where u got the new one?
Amazon
@@pitcherthis6483 I tried... can't find one with the right description... the all said with 1000 lumens... sigh

Law enforcement is for red, we use blue for security. Mine is few years old work intermittent and shuts off.
Flex volt battery lights up trees in background better than 5amp
I have the type 2 and the craftsman the craftsman 2500 lumins the type 2 is brighter than the ryobi and a lot lighter and smaller
How many lumens??
Type 1 = 1000 lumens
Type 2 = 1500 lumens
What’s the red 4
