Handy and functional light
I have two of these lights and use them on every project I have encountered over the last year and a half. Easy to set up and maneuver in small spaces. Light has two settings and produces and broadcasts a very broad beam that does not blind or produce heavy shadows. Adjustable beam angle, hang-able, and has magnetic base which is strong enough to hold the light in-place without moving or sliding out of position. Used in my attic for furnace and ducting install, hanging dry wall, repaired plumbing fixtures and replaced water lines inside wall/tub area and inside cabinet areas for sink install. Pricey but worth it.

      Excellent Bright LED Worklight
      I got this light free as part of a promotion when I bought another Bosch device (angled drill). This worklight is excellent for all types of projects around the house. The bright LEDs remind me of a larger worklight, but the size is just right to have next to you as you work and with the ability to change the angle you can get light right where you need it. The added magnet offers more versatility.

        Instant daylight
        Excellent worklight for all applications. I repair refrigerators & wish the magnet was stronger otherwise I would of gave it 5 stars.

          Super versitile!
          I got 2 of these light and want another couple at least. They are great on and off the jobsite. They are super bright for a 12v light. They can be put anywhere because of how it either can sit on something clip on it or stick to metal because of the strong magnet. All this in a super small package makes it the best compact light out there.

              Great Light with one flaw
              Have had this light for about 5 months. Great light but dropped once and fell on the corner of the clip and subsequently broke. Now I cannot hang it and have to always find something magnetic to attach it to. Considering that I work around a lot of stainless that is not always possible so it has become quite bothersome. Otherwise this is a great light and worth the money. Just beef up the aluminum hanging clip!

                Tool if the year!
                I am an HVAC service tech. I am in many basements each day often in poor lighting. I had been looking for the perfect light forever. This is it! Lightweight, extremely bright, rugged, and the magnetic base with the swivel head makes it usable in any situation. Worth twice the price it's sold for! Great job Bosch!!

                  Amazing Light
                  Without question the best light I have ever owned. It took me awhile to wrap my arms around how much a "flashlight" was going to cost me. This light is so much more than what I expected, I'm ready to order another. Entirely changes my perspective as what a light is and can be Highly recommended

                    Best 12v LED worklight I've used!
                    This is an amazing LED to add to your existing 12v line. It has become my go to LED for lighting up site areas on the fly. I liked the first one so much that I ordered two more. You'll end up using this LED everywhere, not just at work.

                          Great work light!!!
                          My specialty is working on washers and dryers. Working in tight spots with low light environents, this light is awesome. I use it everyday. Fits in my metal tool box perfect. Becuase it has the magnet on the backside, it stays put. Magnet is great. I was worried, it would fall with the 4.0amh batthery, but stays put. I have the other Bosch flashlight, but i seem to use this more on the job now. The other Bosch is just for inspection. Work light is perfect for when im doing the repairs. Other techs see my Bosch lights, they say they are bright. So, all in all, great product.

                            The best flashlight on the market PERIOD!
                            As a professional mechanic, I can say this flashlight the best design for compactness, and versatility. Problem with old round flashlights is someone has to hold the light on your work for you. With the Bosch FL12, you can adjust the base to the perfect angle, stick it on anything magnetic with the strong magnet built in, or just hang it on either end with the different size loops available. Has bright light that covers a wide work area. After owning this light for over a year, I have found this awesome little light to be a very tough and reliable go-to flashlight/work light. No more need for cumbersome, corded, and hot drop lights.

                              Better than the 18v
                              Amazing bright light! Service technician and used every job, would recommend to anyone working in low lit areas.

                                Like a shot of mace to your face!
                                I bought this light a few days ago and my shop is a good 50 yards from the house, this little light is crazy! It throws a perfect circle and gives off around 5000kelvin of white light. I love the swivel handle, it reminds me of the lanterns they used back in the old days, except better in every way possible. The magnet is strong, the two brightness levels is great too. I have nothing but bosch tools because they work everyday and do it better than more expensive brands, bottom line. This led light is substantial, it's not cheap made housing with junk leds, this is a light you'll have many years, definitely not the light you'll wanna loan out..

                                  This light is a winner, super bright, compact
                                  Here's a light you can stand where you need it, hang it from your belt, or stick it upside-down on a duct or I beam using the magnet. This is the most amazing led work light I have ever used. The fit and finish is excellent, and well thought out. The threaded mount also is a camera tripod mount style. If you use 12v BOSCH tools, this is a great addition, if not this is a great start. Has come in handy for power outages as it will illuminate a good sized room for hours. Expensive and worth every penny.

                                    Ultimate Electricians work light!
                                    As a "new" construction electrician, I spend on average 50 percent of my jobsite time working in areas with no permanent lighting installed. Before I purchased this light I would drag a cord and halogen work light around. Not anymore! The battery lasts me a full work day and I save time by not dragging cords around. I love this product!

                                      I bought this light to go along with my new PS32 drill/driver, and am so glad I did! This baby is bright, and can be placed just about anywhere for maximum utility. It feels very stout in the hand, and seems like it will last a very long time.

                                        Has Quickly Become My Go-To Work Light
                                        I needed a work light that would hold to metal surfaces reliably, and the online reviews on this were stellar. So glad I decided to give the FL12 a try. This thing has, in a very short time, become the light that I grab by far the most, and I own a bunch of LED work lights. At 330 lumens, it provides a fantastic amount of light for its compact size. It holds to metal surfaces much better than any other I've tried, and I also find the carabiner option very convenient for easily and quickly hanging it from overhead pipes or cables. It appears and feels very durable, and the fit and finish of it is excellent. Typical Bosch quality.

                                          Great Light
                                          I love this light. I have a slew of the newest cordless from another manufacturer, but purchased a Bosch 12v battery and charger just so I could try this light, and I am sure glad I did. A lot of illumination in such a small package, and the magnetic attachment is very convenient, and holds more firmly than the other LED worklights I own. Well worth the expense.

                                          Theres a reason they dont give you the lumens
                                          This is a light but its not overly bright. Bosch knows this which is why they dont tell you how many lumens it puts out.

                                            Very Versatile Light
                                            Bright flood beam great for working in confined spaces like under sinks. Mounting system adds a lot of versatility not found in other lights of this type. Dual brightness levels are a definite plus as another light from a different manufacturer is too bright and focused for confined spaces.

Besides its amazing compact size and weight the multiple mounting options are sheer deLIGHT. I'm a big fan of bosch's 12 volt tools and this tool is the most universal.

                                                  great addition to my Bosch 12 volt tools. The light is very bright. It projects a wide pattern, which I like. In the base is a very strong magnet, great for attaching to a pipe or under a hood of a car. The base itself is adjustable and even has a hook. Very well thought out. I am buying another to leave in my car.

                                                  Super Bright!
                                                  This 12v light was surprisingly bright. LED's come in all kinds of brightness's and with 10 LED's in this unit it was able to brighten up my kitchen with the lights already on. Typically you have to be in a semi dark room to notice a light like this one on but not so with the Bosch 12v Worklight. It's much brighter than my DeWalt 12v LED light (which has 9 less LED's in it). Power button turns the light on or off and includes a dim feature which dims all 10 LED lights to about 80% brightness. The base of the light pivots to shine the light in different angles. The base also has two powerful magnets that can be used to mount this light on magnetic surfaces and will hold the unit pretty well, even while angled at 90 degrees! Great value overall!

                                                      I was very pleasantly surprised. This light is expensive, BUT it is a really great battery powered work light. It puts out a lot of light in a broad pattern not like my other battery powered lights (B&D, Ryobi, Ridgid & Craftsman) which put out a spot of light that must be carefully aimed to get enough light in just the right spot. And the various hanging/mounting options are a real plus.
