12V Max LED Worklight (Bare Tool) FL12

Update: Feb 1 2016: This week I discovered I can effortlessly clip this light on to the front of my overalls and and adjust the angle for effortless hands free lighting - it casts a wide beam so it makes it really easy to for instance, gather and load tools in the truck when the workday goes past sundown... The first light has taken a few falls from the top of a 6 foot scaffold with no issue. 2nd light is on the way. great product. 5 stars. Update: Jan 17 2016: This light is absolutely phenomenal ... recently started a substantial interior demolition project in a house that currently does not have electrical service. This light, although diminutive in size, provides a TON of usable light, for a very long time (I used it for over an hour this evening with no issue - have not tested to determine max run time). The adjustable base with integral magnet is AWESOME - I can easily drive a screw in the wall to hang the mount from, or use the magnet to stick the light on any flat steel surface on my scaffold, allowing work to continue as the sun goes down with no cords to trip over and absolutely no compromises. The light appears to be sturdy and built to withstand a reasonable amount of rough handling. I have zero qualms about putting it to work in a messy environment like an interior demo area ... Its a solid little package. I am planning on getting a 2nd light for additional coverage, along with a couple of lightweight inexpensive tripods to mount them on. Vivitar has a model under $25 that is widely available. If you are already a fan of Bosch's 12v platform ... this light is a MUST HAVE. ------------------------- Original Review: I am a dedicated Bosch fan fully invested in their 12v line ... this light is a great addition to my assortment - plenty of brightness, appears to be sturdy (has not been exposed to a tremendous amount of abuse - yet) ... easy to adjust where you need it, and the magnet is a additional feature. Recommended.

The best portable work light, EVER. Amazing power. I used it one night to change the car battery - the magnet worked perfectly and did not need someone to hold the flashlight for me. I used it to light up those corners and underneath appliances - almost too much light. I can't believe how bright this thing is. I have almost all the 12 volt tools from Bosch and adding this to my collection was a no brainer. I have used another Bosch flashlight (FL10A) and though helpful not as versatile as this one. I haven't used the older one since I've gotten this one. I am VERY pleased with this! PROS -Bright -Magnet works well -Can be set on a shelf/floor right next to the project -Battery life is incredible -Sturdy and well built, good finish CONS? -would be great if it had an insert tray (a wish but not a negative) The photo shows how I incorporated this tool into my L-Boxx. The foam allows it to be snug in the box. By all means buy this, especially if you need a bright light for your projects. I used it in outside (evening) with my compound miter saw - bright enough to use in the evening and did not have to lug a huge halogen light with its cord, etc. No reservations at all with this one! June 18, 2015 Well after using this for some time, I bought ANOTHER one (needed one for under the sink, plumbing) and one in the basement for the other part of the plumbing - two lights did the job perfectly! I use this everywhere now!! Get it; no regrets at all.

Bosch FL12 LED work light: 330 Lumens makes this the second brightest light in the group and currently it is my favorite light. Not because it produces 330 lumens of light but because it is the second brightest, has the longest run time of 6 hours on max brightness, run time doubles on low setting, pivoting magnetic base with a built in carabiner that is easy to use and useful. The pivoting magnetic base with built in carabiner is made of solid aluminum and feels Very solid, it is attached to the light itself very securely. The Bases tension is adjustable using the screw on the side. As you pivot the Bosch fl12 on it’s base it is locked into place every few degrees with a detent mechanism which keeps the light from losing its position due to the weight of the light (no it’s not a heavy light). The light lense is framed in aluminum but the body appears to be a type of composite maybe even a poly-carbonite (high quality, durable type of plastic) or Reinforced Plastic. There is no mention of it’s resistance to water of fluids, however the Bosch fl12 LED work light does appear to be sealed up really well and I believe that it should survive a drop or 2 into a bucket of whatever fluid you are unfortunate enough to drop it in. The power button is a simple on/off type button however if you hold the button down it will switch the work light to it’s low setting. This low setting is not retained when you turn the light off. you will have to switch it to low every time you turn the Bosch fl12 work lighton. This is a well made light and a Good value at only $48.99 w/out battery on Amazon. One thing i should note is that the low output setting on this light puts out plenty of light for most situations, i sometimes have trouble distinguishing which power level I am using. Things that i don’t like about the Bosch FL12 10 LED work light is that the power button is in an awkward location that i often have trouble finding without looking at the light (it will take getting used to), the low power setting is not retained when the light is turned off and requires you to switch it to the low power setting every time you use it. I don’t know if this will happen but the carabiner has the potential to become bent if you drop the light in just the right way. This has not happened to me yet and i have dropped it a few times already. Now with that said you should be able to just bend it back into place since it is solid aluminum.

Excelente adición a mi juego de herramientas de 12 volts. Un poco cara pero vale la pena. 👍

Price little bit expensive, but it pays for good quality.

I had the same light that came with a Bosch promotion a few years ago. It’s great. Super bright and very tough. I have dropped mine countless if times, left it in the rain. Never missed a bit. Unfortunately it got misplaced. Highly recommended

I was toying with the idea of getting a dedicated work light for my battery system for quite some time. I didn’t want to spend the $70 on it since I can buy so many other lights for half of that that do not use my battery but still are good, like the nembo lights. After much deliberation I decided to go for it and it has been a great decision. I used one of my older 1.2amp batteries to power it and it last for hours and hours. Note, if you hold down the on button it will dim to a more energy efficient setting. This only marginally reduced the output yet saves much battery life. The real deal maker for this light is the size and mounting options. It has 5 ways to prop it up in your work space: floor standing, caribeener, nail hook, magnet and tripod. With battery it is also one of the smallest lights you can buy for a tool battery system. It fits into pitlight holes so I can run wires. The other lights would have been too big. Bosch also has another 12v light that is more wand like, but I did not like how it lacked many ways to secure it to different surfaces. Light output is very good. I can put it on the ground and it illuminates the whole room enough to comfortably do work. There are definitely more powerful lights out there but they are bigger and run more batteries. I just didn’t find this lacked light. It’s so small you can clip it on your tool bag and go. Also the build quality is a 10. Nice aluminum edges and strong Bosch plastic. The magnets are so powerful you can secure it to one drywall screw! Yes, it’s that strong. Great job Bosch.

Like it.
