I've been looking for a outdoor work light that used Ridgid batteries and found this. I was going to pickup the older gen 2500 Lumen version which was on clearance for $75 for just the tool and will now pick up this 3500 lumen version which comes with a charger and 4Ah battery.

Product Details:
RIDGID introduces the R8698 18V LED Hybrid Panel Light (Tool Only). The RIDGID 18V LED Hybrid Panel Light features three brightness settings with up to 3,500 Lumens of Clear White LED light to easily illuminate any workspace. RIDGID Clear White LEDs consistently deliver clear white light providing users visibility of fine details and accurate colors. Using an 18V 6.0 Ah MAX Output Battery (R840060), the Hybrid Panel Light can light your work area for 14 hours; or users can satisfy workplace lighting needs indefinitely with the use of an extension cord. The folding panel design provides total area lighting capabilities on a work site. To maximize versatility, the RIDGID Panel Light features three different types of rotation: 270° panel pivot (panel up & down), 225° panel rotate (panel open & close) and 115° base pivot (up & down). For added usability and convenience, the panel light offers a carrying handle, keyholes and a 1/4 in.-20 tripod mounting thread. As always, the RIDGID 18V LED Hybrid Panel Light is 100% compatible with all RIDGID 18V batteries. Best of all, this tool is backed by the industry's best Lifetime Service Agreement, simply register within 90 days of purchase for FREE Parts, Free Service, For LIFE. The R8698 light includes the LED Hybrid Panel Light and Operator's Manual. Batteries and charger sold separately.

I thought the same at first but the flexibility of running this for 10+hours on battery or plugged in indefinitely to light a work area is invaluable. I got tired of using my 18650 lights. Plus being able to use my Ridgid batteries and LSA are huge for me. The right tools can make a job much easier.
This light plus two others typically as a combo pack go on sale every November and December for $129 for those that don't really need it.

I have this light. It is really nice for those that do want it.
I picked up the Ryobi one similar to this except 3000 lumens on Black Friday for $50 without battery or charger. It is solid and I have no complaints. I like that you can plug it into an extension cord and you can mount it on a Tripod. I've used it multiple times and it works great!!
I am tempted to get this one for the extra 4 amp battery (I have some Rigid tools too), The battery is $50 on DT right now without a charger (another $30) - so yeah, this is a good deal IMO.

Got this for $50 without battery a few years ago. Use it ALL THE TIME. It's so bright too. Probably my most used tool haha.

Got a version of this light a few years ago from directtoolsoutlet.com and it's a beast. Use it all the time. Great if the power goes out or you have to turn the breaker off remodeling a room. Totally worth it just for the battery as the light is "basically" free. Super tempted to pick it up. Haha.

Picked this light up this afternoon at my local HD on clearance for $75. Used it in my storage unit to light it up as I rearranged some shelves. Very bright. But ate through a full battery in less than 2 hours.

Tool only, or is that a different in-store deal on this kit?
