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 a great flashlight to have by your bedside or in an emergency kit. It feels great to hold, stands up on its own, or youi can hang it like a lantern from the hook. The product definitely feels high quality, and I love the interchangeability within the C3 series.
The price is also excellent, but it won't make economic sense for you unless you already have C3 tools with extra batteries. If you are looking to start using cordless power tools, you should invest in one of the C3 combos and use an extra battery for this light. At $16.99 with an existing battery, this is a great tool to have, but it does not come with a battery, so if you had to buy one for $35 it is not a great deal. Just common sense, but I thought I'd point it out.
Highly recommend this light as long as you have a battery!

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 are more accurate. Working under the hood of my truck or laying on the floor when changing the oil; it does a great job. Lighting up a big room in a power outage; not going to happen.
The only real problem with this light is not the initial purchase or product, but the replacement bulbs. Fortunately I haven't had to buy one yet, but I am not looking forward to it when the time comes. $5 for the bulb is resasonable, not being able to buy them at the store and having to pay $7 for shipping is a sore point for me. The original light only cost me $17 and to get one bulb costs $12....not happy. Buy two bulbs and pay shipping and I've doubled my investment. The good news is that the bulb lasts quite a long time so long as you treat this light with some care and not abuse it.
The top hook is ok, but a little awkward when trying to hang it from the hood of my vehicle.
This light seems to run forever on a single charge, even with a NiCad battery, so it is good on that account.
I'd recommend it for fix up jobs in small places, in the garage, or for emergency lighting. It would do pretty good in a tent or an ice fishing hut, but don't expect to light up the entire camp ground either.
I'd rate this one 6 out of 10.

Having 19.2 volts available power I would expect this light to be much brighter than it is. The throw of the light is wide and disspersed however the level of illumination is seriuosly lacking.
Positives for this light are the hanging hook, which folds out of the way when not in use, & the ability to be set down on a flat surface.
This a great part of the 19.2V collection. Bright light and lasts a long time on a charge.
There's over 35 reviews already posted for this light, the C-3 powered Craftsman 19.2V - Fluorescent Light. Many of this item's qualities have been illuminated (pun intended)... both positive and those as might be an issue.
At the risk of redundancy, I want to mention my impressions about the design and construction of this light... and also offer some opinion regarding its best uses.
I'm impressed by the design of the carrying handle. The ergonomics are very user friendly... and the overmolding on the handle's backstrap eliminates sharp edges as often encountered with hard plastic where seam lines meet.
The balance of the light in a users' hand is quite remarkable too. Overall, this light gives an impression of solid construction and ruggedness... and the retractable hook to suspend the light is well placed.
One aspect of the design, however, that some users might find annoying - (this also pointed out by another reviewer) - if using the compact Lithium-Ion C-3 battery, the light will not rest flat on the base of the battery as it does if using the full size lithium-ion C-3 battery or the Ni-Cad C-3 battery.
This isn't a "deal breaker" by any means... and the light remains relatively stable when resting.
I suspect this light was designed before either of the Li-Ion batteries came along as you are unable to access the power level check button without removing the battery from the light.
For that reason alone, I've given this light 4 stars rather than the maximum of 5... but it remains a solid performer and good addition to any C-3 based tool collection.
The light output is what I would anticipate from the compact dual fluorescent bulbs... adequate to provide area illumination. This isn't a light that throws a focused beam and to fault the light for not doing so is to mis-judge its capabilities. Use it for what it does best.
I've found this light very beneficial in at least two weather related power failures. It provides sufficient illumination to softly light an entire room... and with minimal power drain on the battery.
For potential "emergency power" usage, this light is a recommended buy in my opinion... but you'll find plenty of other uses for the Craftsman C-3 19.2 volt ?Fluorescent Light.
a bargain hunterThis 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.
You can be sure we'll offer you the best available options every step of the way.
