The DEWALT DC527 18-Volt Fluorescent Area Light is a bare tool designed for contractors who need bright, portable lighting on the jobsite. It runs on any DEWALT 18V battery (sold separately) and features a 13W fluorescent bulb that provides wide-area illumination.
The DC527 rotates 360 degrees, so you can aim light where you need it and hang the unit from materials up to 2 inches thick. The overmolded lens cover adds durability, protecting the bulb from bumps, drops, and debris.
If you already own DEWALT 18V batteries and charger, this tool-only light is a cost-effective addition. Simply slide in your 18V battery, and you've got hands-free lighting for close-up work or whole-room illumination.
The 13W fluorescent bulb produces even, bright light without harsh shadows, making it ideal for renovation sites, basements, workshops, and emergency repairs. When the bulb eventually needs replacing, use a compatible 13W fluorescent replacement (see FAQ below).
The housing is built for jobsite abuse, and the overmolded lens helps prevent breakage. The integrated hook lets you hang the light from joists, pipes, and other supports while the 360-degree rotation ensures coverage.

Use the rotating hook to position the light directly above your work area. Hanging it from a joist or at the edge of a workbench reduces shadows and gives you both hands free to work.
This light draws power from any DEWALT 18V battery. For longest runtime, use a higher-capacity 18V pack. Keep a spare battery charged for jobs that run into the evening.
When the bulb starts flickering or dims, unplug the battery and open the lens. Use a dry cloth to handle the new fluorescent tube, install it firmly, and test before closing. Proper replacement restores the bright, wide beam this light is known for.
The DC527 uses a 13W fluorescent tube. Check the existing bulb's markings or the user manual for the exact replacement part number.
Remove the battery first. Open the lens cover by releasing the latches or screws, pull out the old tube, install a compatible 13W fluorescent tube, and reattach the lens cover securely.
No, the DC527 is designed for the DEWALT 18V battery platform. 20V MAX batteries have a different physical design and will not fit.
Yes, the integrated hook rotates 360 degrees and fits materials up to 2 inches thick, including joists, rebar, and conduit.
It's designed for jobsite use, but it is not rated as waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or standing water.
Bright and durable.
Works well, but it's a bit bulky. Still good for the price.
I've used many work lights over the years, and this DEWALT is one of the best. The 360-degree rotation is handy for aiming light exactly where I need it. The lens is tough and hasn't cracked even after a few drops. It runs cool, too. My only issue is it eats batteries if you leave it on, but that's expected. Overall, a solid light.
It's okay, but I had one that died after a few months. Maybe I got a lemon.
Awesome light!
