Tool - Woodworking - dewalt, tool - dewalt


i have a ryobi flashlight that needed a new bulb & the replacement bulb is the dewalt one (that's what home depot told me).

but i was turned away when i saw the bulbs are $8/pair...i thought what a rip off...so i went online & i saw makita had an 18v bulb (p/n A90261) that was similar to the dewalt. and the best part is it's $3.50/pair & i found at a website w/ a $0.01 shipping...couldn't beat that. i got the bulbs last night & it fits in my ryobi flashlight w/ out a problem. whaooo whoooo!!! DEWALT DW9083 18-Volt Flashlight Replacement Bulb, 2 Bulbs

The previous reviewer said that these are the same as Sears - they are not! The Sears ones are made by Dorcy and do not have the same shock tolerance as the dewalt bulbs. I know - I was suckered into the Sears bulbs and killed all of them (4) where I normally can go a long time with the Dewalt. They regularly tolerate shocks from the flashlight tipping. The sears ones blow everytime! Maybe I got a bad batch, but Ill never buy the Sears ones again!

Even though these are DeWalt light bulbs, I have successfully used them to replace Ryobi and Sears 18v light bulbs that come in the handheld lights you get in the rechargeable toolkits. If you drop a lamp, the bulb will tend to go (although they take a decent amount of punishment beforehand). I highly recommend keeping a few on hand. They are very bright and can fill a room with light.

I purchased these for a Black & Decker 18 Volt flashlight. I accidentally dropped the flashlight onto a hard tile floor and the original bulb broke. These replacement bulbs were a perfect fit! They last a very long time (unless you drop them!!!).

for those of you that own the DEWALT DW919 18V Cordless Flexible Floodlight with a dead bulb and looking for replacement try this first... just unscrew the flashlight lens and look right inside the rim... BINGO!... their should be an extra backup bulb right inside the flashlight... I found this out the hard way after buying the replacement pack... but if you've already killed both bulbs then buy the 2-Pack here while you can... these are kinda hard to find... and they probably won't last... these work great so go nutz!

This bulb was not as bright as the original Ryobi bulb that came with the flashlight.

I ended up buying the LED bulb for 20$. The LED makes similar amount of light as this bulb (so, the LED is not as bright as the original either), but extends the battery life to 6 times as much as before!

Bought these a while back and got the two-pack for about 8 bucks. I have both a DeWalt 18v and a Ryobi 18v flashlight. Both take the same bulb, and these DeWalt xenon bulbs are bright and hold up pretty well to shock and vibration (I've dropped both lights more than once and the bulbs -- as well as both of the flashlights -- can take a reasonably good beating). But recently I've found the same bulb (looks like same manufacturer, too) branded under the Craftsman name at both Sears and OSH (for those of you in California) selling for $1.49 each. Lots easier to find one there when you need it in a hurry.

It costs about 80 cents to ship these anywhere in the states via postal service, yet RFBDirect seems to have a flat rate of $7. They must be Lunar based. Also, these are garbage bulbs anyway. For the price of a Dewalt tool, you would think they could make a better bulb! - Tool - Dewalt - Dewalt - Flashlight - Light Bulbs'
