The DEWALT DCL045B Cordless Hood Light brings 1,700 lumens of natural white light to dark engine bays and undercarriages. Its adjustable arms extend from 51 to 74 inches and the anti-marring hooks rotate 360° to securely fit most SUV and truck hoods without scratching paint. This bare tool works with any 12V MAX or 20V MAX battery (excluding DCB615).
Designed specifically for automotive work, this light features three modes—high, low, and single-arm—so you can match brightness to the task and preserve battery life. The foldable design makes it easy to transport and store.
Runtime depends on the battery capacity and the light mode. Here are approximate runtimes with a 5Ah battery:
These estimates assume a fully charged 20V MAX 5Ah battery. Actual runtime may vary with battery age, temperature, and specific mode settings. With smaller batteries, runtime scales proportionally (e.g., a 2Ah battery gives roughly 40% of these times).
The rotating hooks are covered with anti-marring material to protect your vehicle's finish. The telescoping arms let you adjust the light to cover the area you're working on, and the single-arm mode concentrates light where you need it most.
As a bare tool, the DCL045B does not include a battery or charger. Use any DEWALT 12V MAX, 20V MAX, or 60V MAX battery (with the appropriate adapter or dock) except the DCB615. This flexibility is perfect for users already in the DEWALT ecosystem.

When choosing a work light, consider brightness (lumens), battery compatibility, and mounting flexibility. The DCL045B excels in automotive settings because of its compact fold and protective hooks. For general workshop use, a magnetic or clamp light might be better.
Ensure the hood is clean before attaching the hooks. Rotate the arms to balance the light evenly. Use the single-arm mode for tight spaces where you need to focus light in one direction.
On high, about 2 hours; on low, about 10 hours. Actual runtime varies with battery condition and temperature.
No, this is a bare tool. It accepts any 12V MAX or 20V MAX battery (except DCB615).
The light is designed for under-hood use, but the rotating hooks allow mounting in various positions.
No, it's not rated waterproof; avoid rain or submersion.
Very bright.
It's bright and the hooks are strong. I used it under my car. Good light.
I work on cars as a hobby and this light is perfect. It's bright enough to see everything under the hood. The foldable arms let me position it exactly where I need. The hooks are rubber-coated so they don't scratch. It runs off my 20V batteries, which I already have. The battery lasts a good while. The light is compact and easy to store. I would recommend it.
I'm 22 and a student and I wonder why I didn't buy this sooner. It's so handy. I use it for projects in my dorm. The battery life is good. It's bright.
I'm 43 and this light is a staple in my garage. The adjustable arms are really useful. It is bright and well built. The anti-marring hooks protect surfaces. I've used it for many tasks. The only downside is it's a bit bulky, but that's okay.
I'm 70 and this light makes working on my lawn mower much easier. It's bright and focused. The hooks let me hang it anywhere. It's a bit heavy to hold for a long time, but I set it on the ground. Overall, a great product.
It's bright and the battery lasts. I use it for camping too. It can stand on its own. I like it.
It's not as bright as I expected. It's fine for close work. The hooks are a bit small. But it's portable.
I use this for home inspections. The light is powerful and the adjustable arms are great. It's easy to hook onto pipes. The battery lasts long. I'm very happy.
It's a sturdy light. The foldable design is compact. The brightness is good. It fits my 20V batteries. No complaints.
