    Style B (Shown Used As

    Flashlight)

    Style C

    Provide 360° of lighting with these lanterns. They have a daylight appearance that highlights white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting.
    Style A—Rechargeable Style A lanterns have a spot for 3 AA backup batteries as well. When the charge is under 10%, they’ll switch to the backup batteries to preserve runtime. You can lock these lanterns out to prevent accidental activation. Charge your phone and other devices with the USB port.
    Style B—Style B have a light on the base, so they work as a flashlight too. You can even use them in place of a road flare—they have a flashing hazard light. Charge your phone and other devices with the USB power bank.
    Style C—Style C have a handle that folds down for compact storage.
    IP04 Enclosure Rating—IP04-rated lanterns keep out dripping, splashing, and falling liquids, as well as humidity.
    IP07 Enclosure Rating—IP07-rated lanterns withstand temporary submersion, so they’ll still work if you drop them in water.
    ANSI/PLATO FL 1—Lanterns that meet ANSI/PLATO FL 1 are tested to confirm the accuracy of performance attributes such as beam distance, impact resistance, and battery life.

    Spot

    Flood

    Light up objects more than a quarter of a mile away. These flashlights are also known as searchlights.
    Style A—Style A are a good choice for day-to-day use around your facility. If you need them right away and can’t wait for a charge, they can run on four AAA disposable batteries. Plug your phone or other device into the USB port to charge it on the go. Rated IP65, these flashlights are sealed against dust and low-pressure washdowns.
    Style B—Style B balances form factor and distance—it covers more than 1/2 a mile, but it's half the weight of flashlights that cover a similar distance. To charge, snap them into the charging base. For charging on the go, you can plug the base into a vehicle outlet with the included adapter. These flashlights are IP04 rated to keep out dripping, splashing, and falling liquids, as well as humidity.
    Style C—Style C can light up objects 3/4 of a mile away—the longest distance in our offering. For hands-free lighting, the top has a stand you can fold out. They’re rated IP08 for prolonged submersion, so water is no problem. Plus, they float.
    Spot—Flashlights with a spot beam cast a beam with a bright center to light up long distances.
    Spot-to-Flood—Flashlights with a spot-to-flood beam let you adjust from a narrow spot beam to a wide flood beam by twisting the head.

    Cordless Freestanding Portable Floodlights for DeWalt Rechargeable Batteries

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Portable Work Lights. Cordless Freestanding Portable Floodlights for DeWalt Rechargeable Batteries, Style B.

    Style B

    Bring light to remote areas with the DeWalt rechargeable battery that's already in your toolkit. Built for tough jobsites, their plastic lens resists impact.
    Note: Battery life depends on the size of your battery.
    Style B—Style B have a domed, lantern-style top that diffuses light for 360° illumination. Place them next to your work or hang them up from their built-in hook. To protect against drops, they have four carrying handles that stick out to absorb impact. Control these floodlights with your device via Bluetooth by downloading the free app.
    IP54 Enclosure Rating—IP54-rated floodlights are sealed against humidity and splashing and falling liquids, so they’re good for the outdoors and other wet spaces. They’re also protected against dirty, dusty conditions.

    Flood

    Tilt the head on these flashlights to point light where you need it in explosion-prone areas. Rated NEC Classes I and II, they’re safe to use where there are ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gases, vapors, liquids, and dust. Rated IP67, they seal out humidity and dripping, splashing, and falling liquids. They’re also dust-tight and will still work if temporarily submerged in water. These floodlights are tested against ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standards to confirm the accuracy of performance attributes such as beam distance, battery life, and impact resistance. For instance, they’ve been confirmed to still work if dropped from 6 feet.

    LED Light

    Magnetic—Those with a magnetic mount can be mounted to a wall or beam. The head still pivots 180° to adjust the direction of the light when they’re mounted with the magnet.
    Style A—Style A and B light up your footsteps with a second LED beneath the head that aims a flood beam downward. This LED can double as a task light—just tilt the head up to 90° and stand these flashlights on their end.
    Style C—Style C are our brightest and most versatile option. For use as a task light, set them on their flat bottom or back. You can also hang them up on their hooks. Carry them around hands-free with the included strap.
    Flood—Flashlights with a flood beam cast a uniform spread of light that’s good for close-up tasks and inspection work.
    Spot Beam—Flashlights with a spot beam have a bright center for long-distance illumination.
    Hazardous Location Rating—Hazardous location ratings indicate where manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in hazardous environments. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.

    At full power, these flashlights shine as bright as a stadium light. They’re the brightest in our offering. Plug your phone or other devices into the built-in USB port to charge on the go—just like you would with a portable charger.
    Style A—Style A have a burst mode that produces an intense beam for up to 30 seconds. They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency requirements.
    Style B—Style B produce an intense beam for as long as you need it. They’re rated IP68 for prolonged submersion, so they’ll keep working if you drop them in water. They’re also dust tight. A digital display shows lumen output, battery level, and estimated runtime. For easy transport, they have a handle and shoulder strap. Attach them to a positioning stand (sold separately) to illuminate an entire area hands-free.

    Floating Flashlights

    Because these flashlights are buoyant, they're easy to recover when dropped in the water. All have a long-lasting, built-in LED that is more efficient and generates less heat than other light technologies. These flashlights cast a spot beam that has a bright center for long-distance illumination. They are rated IP04 to withstand liquid from all directions. These flashlights meet ANSI/PLATO FL 1, so they've been tested for impact resistance, run time, and beam distance.

    340° Head Tilt

    Spot Beam

    Tilt the head on these flashlights to aim light exactly where it's needed. They have a flat bottom, so you can work hands-free without them rolling away. You can also stand them on their end to use them as a task light. These flashlights cast a spot beam with a bright center that reaches long distances. To let you know when to recharge, they have a status indicator. These flashlights meet ANSI/PLATO FL 1, so they’ve been tested for light output, impact resistance, and battery life. Each flashlight comes with a shoulder strap for easy transport.
    120° Head Tilt—Flashlights with a 120° head tilt have a ribbed grip that won’t slip out of your hand.
    340° Head Tilt—Flashlights with a 340° head tilt have a handle that pivots open, so you can hang them from a ladder or pipe to light up work from above. If you hang them, they’re durable enough to keep working if they fall from 6 feet.
    IP04 Enclosure Rating—IP04-rated flashlights are sealed to keep out dripping, splashing, and falling liquids, as well as humidity.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67-rated flashlights can be temporarily submerged, so they’ll keep working if you drop them in water. They’re also sealed against dust.

    When the power goes out, these flashlights automatically light up. Keep them plugged in, and they'll switch on when there's an outage. The head tilts so you can aim light wherever you need it. Unplug them to carry them around and use them like a standard flashlight. They have a flat bottom, so you can work hands-free without them rolling away. And if you need a task light, stand them on their end and tilt the light at a right angle. Ideal for lighting up long distances, they cast a spot beam with a bright center. The status indicator lets you know when they need a recharge. Rated IP04, these flashlights withstand liquid splashed from all angles.
