use this for a week along with the  DEWALT Fluorescent Area Light  -lrb- I can charge battery at a neighbor 's . -rrb- it perform well : bright and easily carry with the battery attach . seem stable on the battery , do not knock over easily . I do not have much cause to use the pivot head but I can imagine use where that would be handy . battery life be decent , but for the price it would be nice if it be lead so you do not have to worry about bulb and the battery life would be longer .
