Great light!

I use it when working under the car. I don't know how long it lasts because I've been out there for hours at a time and never lost power once. Of course, I recharge it after every use. The light is bright enough that it can illuminate a medium-sized room, or the underside of many cars.

This is also...

This light is a good addition to have around the house but not something I find would say is an absolute 'must have'.  Unlike a number of other reviews, mine is not terrifically bright and does not give off a huge amount of light.  Those reviews that describe it as being useful for up close tasks...

Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Fluorescent Light Reviews

This is the most convenient flashlight I have. I reach for it all the time. From letting the dog out.... to a perfect grab when our power goes out. I have three of them now and keep them handy.

The light is bright, it's easy to carry, set down or aim. It fills a room pretty well and is very bright outside at night.

You'll be very happy you bought this light!

This flashlight is a wonderful item to have around the house.  It provides the perfect amount of light for many different needs.  I use it the most to go into the crawl space to change the filter on the furnace.  The light is very bright and it is very comfortable to carry.  The battery life is long and gives me plenty of time before I need to recharge it.  This is the first flashlight that I go to when I have a project that requires some good light.

This is a great addition to the 19.2 volt line of tools. The light is convienant to use and light weight. It has a comfortable grip and the retractable hook is great for working on a car engine or other tight place when you need both hands to work but still need the light. I would recommend this to others.

Add battery and go.

Used it for four hours straight and had no problem with it.  Time will tell if the lamps are as fragile as they look.

This light is absolutely wonderful not just for projects at home in dark places like underneath sinks, but this is a great light for when the power goes out or even to take with you camping.  I will be definitely picking up at least two more of these lights to have around the house in case of power outages.

Works great!

Its a great non directional Light. Give off a clean bright light. Hangs well on hooks and last a long time.

The Craftsman C3 19.2 volt Fluorescent Light provides a good amount of light covering about 270 degrees from the source. The light is effective in close-in work but not strong enough or directional enough to fill much distance. If you want a spot light--this one is the wrong choice. To fill an small work area, this is a good light. It remains cool during use. The unit is light weight and the battery inserts on the bottom providing a flat area for the light to sit with stability. If you happen to use a C3 LION battery, you will find the plastic below the bulb blocks the LED indicator and test button....

A very handy worklight

I've gotten a lot of use out of this light doing nighttime car repairs. It does its job well, and lasts several hours with the Li-Ion battery. My only complaint is that it can't lie on its back, a feature that could be added with a minor redesign of the handle and base. Under the car, there are many times when I need a broad beam of light pointed upward, not sideways. 

Some reviews mention that the bulb breaks too easily, but I've found it as sturdy as you could expect. After all, it's not a crescent wrench. I generally handle my tools carefully, but last night the worklight fell off the car and...

Great Addition

The light is perfect for camping and power outages.  The light is very bright and lasts a very long time on the battery.  I highly suggest this product.

Great Portable lamp

A great addition to your collection of C3 tools! gives off good light where you are working, but does not project its light for much distance. I guess if there was a reflector to guide the light in one direction, it would be able to light up a greater distance, but that reflector would also kill the almost omni-dierectional lighting this lamp gives off, and I think it is fine as it is. I can;t wait till I have a chance ot use it 

I really like this little fluorescent light! My wife bought it for me as a holiday gift.

I use this light at nights when im working on my car. Its bring and the battery last for hours.

Very Bright, long-lasting power

I never thought I'd use this when I purchased it as part of a C3 package. I always thought, "Here's something they just throw in to say a '5 pc. set' instead of a 4". Amazingly, I use this light all the time. This is terrific to have at your side when doing electrical work, when the power goes out, or doing a job after hours (such as chain-sawing a tree at 11pm) You will be surprised at its uses. Much more economical than trying to hold a flashlight in your mouth!
