Home Depot has the M12 220 Lumen LED Stick Light on sale. I have this light and at this price I'm going to pickup another one. The adjustable hook works great and I like that it does have a built in battery charge indicator unlike the 100 lumen M12 flashlight. I do see a potential error in the Home Depot website description that says it has a USB port to charge items and I don't think this is true.

I'm fairly sure that's an error but this could be a new version. I cant see it on any of the photos on Home Depot's site.- Delivers 220 Lumens of TRUEVIEW™ High Definition Output

So it's unlikely. However if you look at the first pic on the HD website, the back of the handle on the top (middle of tool) kinda looks like it could be a door that pops off. That would be neat. But I doubt it.

My thoughts on it:
It's a pretty basic light. 220 lumens. No magnet included ($16 extra item). Only one brightness level. Not dirt or water sealed in any way. I'd find it compelling only if you have tons of extra M12 batteries sitting around and wanted to throw TEAM RED some extra dollery doos from your sachet of cash.
As a tool light, it's not awful -- though it's pretty dim and has a narrow flood. It's relatively small compared to other canister-style LED lights from other tool providers (and even Milwaukee's own M12 system).
But where it really fails to deliver value is when you compare it to something like the Wurkkos FC11c light. For $20, you can get your choice of body color, 1200 lumen, high CRI, multiple brightness levels. Magnetic tail cap, usbc port built-in for charging, USBC cable included. IPX-8 sealed against weather.
The M12 Stick Light is smaller compared to other similar tool lights, but it's giant-sized compared to the Wurkkos -- it's literally pocketable.
And an 18650 battery included...unlike this light which has no battery included.
Oh, the Wurkkos? $20. Total cost of ownership for the Wurkkos vs M12 stick light + magnet + battery + charger....you could grab 4+ Wurkkos lights. And there are plenty of other high output budget lights in the $20-50 range, if the Wurkkos doesn't scratch your itch.
At the end of the day, if I could only buy one or the other with limited cash -- the M12 light would be a hard sell. I'd rather have multiple, brighter, more durable, smaller lights.

You can just buy noname1 or noname2 tools as well. You will be able to have 6-10 different chargers, batteries etc.

Blind brand loyalty is a mission for those with deep pockets...and few other expenses. Great if you're spending someone else's budget. I'm not suggesting getting 6-10 different chargers. In fact, going with M12 is technically "yet another charger". Especially for a sub-par LED light.
Wurkkos flashlights charge using the time-tested and commonly-accepted USB-C standard -- the same one that pretty much handles every phone, tablet, and laptop for the past decade (with a few exceptions, of course). That's "not another charger", that's a standard. One most people already have and use. Unless you mean to tell me you don't have a phone or laptop...?
You can't charge M12 via USB-C. (Though in theory, you absolutely could...since they're just re-wrapped 18650 batteries inside those M12 battery packs.)

Buying crap to fail on you at a jobsite...losing an hour(or more)of productivity because you need to run out and get a replacement.
I keep an old DeWalt incandescent flashlight because it shows imperfections in level 5 finishes much better than most MODERN lights.. Sometimes it's not about the Quantity of lumens (or Kelvin ratings)
Quality, reliability and durability.

And sometimes it IS about not having a dim light on a proprietary battery platform.
