The light has an adjustable angle lamp, 240° rotatable lamp head with a 200° pivot angle for optimum light positioning. It has a durable construction, the lamp head is protected by an outer shell. IP55 rated against dust and water ingress protection enabling interior and exterior use. The telescopic pole can be adjusted up to 2.2m. Collapses down to 1m high for easy transportation and storage. Fitted with a carry handle. DEWALT produced the DCL079 to provide industrial grade work lighting that will stand up to every day tough use. Designed as a heavy-duty portable lighting solution, you will find this light works under the toughest conditions and eliminates the heat hazard of halogen or incandescent bulb lights. The DCL079 produces a natural white color output to ensure accurate color rendition. Chip On Board LED housing multiple LEDs bonded directly to a substrate resulting in increased lumen output per square inch

DEWALT designed the battery to fit into the base of the unit and the case protects the battery. The weight of the battery in the base contributes to the stability.

This light is a life saver. I'm a journeyman painter and primarily work on custom built homes while they are under construction. Lighting in these places is poor or non existent as well as working receptacles for power. I would definetely recommend getting a couple 6ah batteries if you are going to use it on full intensity for long durations. A 20V 6ah battery, with the light on full intensity gets just shy of 4 hours of run time. Good white light so you can see your lines. The extension is great when doing ceiling or crown moulding. It will cast light up a 30ft wall no problem. Carry handle enables the unit to be well balanced around centre of gravity for comfortable carrying Kenny’s life around power tools started early. His grandfather was an airplane mechanic in WW2 and took up woodworking as a hobby after retiring from the power industry. Building everything from bookshelves to lazy Susans, he became extremely accomplished while his young grandson observed, fascinated at the way raw wood could turn into something both beautiful and functional. In fact, Kenny still uses several pieces that his grandfather made more than 30 years ago. The DeWalt DCL079 is perfect for all working conditions and its compact size makes the light easy to transport and store. With up to three brightness settings, the highest is 30% brighter than a 500W halogen light. if there is a battery in the bottom and you go to move it when it is closed up, it it is unbalanced forcing you to use the upper hand hold ( see next comment to why this is important )

The Tripod base and battery weight gives the light stability and great balance. IP55 dust and water ingress protection allows interior and exterior use. would be nice to have a plug in on the bottom to charge a battery in case power is close ( this way you don't have to change out a battery every hour if you are running it on full power). there is more than enough room at the bottom to have a plug in, no excuse for not having one. Recently, I got a DEWALT DCL079 Cordless Tripod Light and used this light to work in the dark spaces under my barn. I highly recommended this light as a solution to his shed lighting problems. When I retract the head to its lowest position, I like the tough shroud that surrounds the LED head. The shroud is the same material as the rest of the unit. I find the construction of the unit is very rugged and should hold up well under normal use. In practice, I use my DCL079 with a 6Ah battery at the 3000 lumen setting and get about 3.5 hours of very bright lighting from a full battery. PortabilityIn my early working days, I started using spot illumination for my work using a metal crash light. Not only was that solution a way to buy copious numbers of incandescent light bulbs for each time the light got bumped, but I still have the burn marks from a few untimely encounters with the metal reflectors.

I can extend the telescoping head to a maximum height of 7 feet above the floor. DeWalt designed the head in two sections with friction collars to stop the extension at any height. DEWALT designed the LED light head in a fixed position at the top of the pole. I wish that the head would swivel as the entire light and base needs to be turned to change the lighted the work area. Sometimes the legs are in the only place they will fit and in this case, I cannot adjust the light exactly where I want it. I hope DEWALT gives at least some adjustment capability to the head in a future iteration of the product. High power broad even beam, providing light output across 3 brightness settings; 1000lm, 1800lm and 3000lm for different applications. Highest setting is 30% brighter than a 500 Watt halogen light The DeWalt DCL079 is perfect for all working conditions and its compact size makes the light easy to transport and store. With up to three brightness settings, the highest is 30% brighter than a 500W halogen light. The Tripod base and battery weight gives the light stability and great balance. IP55 dust and water ingress protection allows interior and exterior use.The unit has three levels of brightness to match the illumination need to the workspace while offering longer battery life at the lower settings. The peak light output is 3000 lumens. The other two settings are 2000 and 1000 lumens. DEWALT advertises an 11-hour runtime that I assume is at the lowest setting using the 6Ah battery that comes with the unit.
