Meanwhile, the one red led version we have on four of these is great for hunting night crawlers and such. The trouble is, the first click turns on the white that absolutely messes with your night vision. So, I try to remember to hold the light head to my body while I click twice to the red light. I use these lights with a 5amp battery as a stand most every day and unless on for hours, charge up maybe once a month. When the power is out or otherwise in a dark room, rotate the head up to shine on ceiling.
=============
If they in fact removed the red led and now all white led's that compare to the similar all white led Ryobi just purchased from the recent Direct Tools deal with more lumens, the DeWalt that was already pricey, is now way overpriced. In fact, the pricing of all DeWalt and Milwaukee lights is how we got started with Ryobi.

Original comment:
The one with red light is knock off- Dewalt doesn't and hasn't made one with a red light. The Dewalt also switches between high, low, and off each time you pull the trigger. The Dewalt also has a mor durable and rugged housing around it. The pic that slickdeals loaded is of the knock off. Op's link is to genuine Dewalt sold and shipped from Amazon. I have three of the Dewalts and the work great. The price is the lowest I have seen in awhile.

Well, that is simply not true.
ALL of the DCL043's sold by all distributors, all had the red led light and described as same from the DeWalt website. We still have two that are new in their clam shell packaging from Lowes and our DeWalt service center down the road still has red LED replacements.
A few years ago, the all white ones were claimed to be knockoffs, but most, if not all were actually DeWalt sold and shipped from Canada and elsewhere. They looked identical except for missing the one red LED. We are heavily into DeWalt and what I have been noticing is that they slowly cheapen their quality tools with a solid reputation like their flagship 780 miter saw, this flashlight, etc. Still decent tools, but not what they were.
All came with 4 white LED's. All were light. And it is a legit Dewalt as I registered them to Dewalts site without issue. If you ever want to see if it's a knockoff, register the tool. (You SHOULD register all your tools, from all brands.) It will not allow a fake tool to be registered as it has a production/serial number that identifies it.)
The type 1 came with 3 LEDs in white, and one in red.
Dewalt obviously moved on to a better type 2 (one of the few times they've made a tool actually better.)
Type 1 had red light.
Type 2 no red light, and is better overall.
