has dewalt made any improvements to this light?

From what I've seen in woodworking stores, it doesn't look like it... But they may have NOS (new old stock) that doesn't reflect any improvements. A bigger issue now, than the light not holding itself up, is finding a replacement filament bulb, which is technology that's on it's way out. There are numerous clamp-on flexible neck LED and Halogen work lights sold on amazon for propane BBQ grills, that can be readily adapted for use with the DeWalt saw. If I can't modify my light to use a different light source, I'm seriously considering scraping it for one of the BBQ lights.

Sorry I can't help you. I bought it for my husband, but he hasn't had a chance to use it yet. Try it, the worse that can happen is that it'll do nothing. But you could also contact Dewalt to make sure...

I got this light two times from Amason and both were demeged. I return it and bought one from Home Depot. (110)

No, it has not. Even its low light level configuration is not very effective.

Yes, it has a very effective light. I love the feel in your grip, easy to handle. I one thing I don't like is that it will constantly drop bits, drive bits, drill bits. The brake on the chuck locks almost instantly when you release the trigger, resulting in the chuck spinning open and the bit falling out. I recently purchased a small Bosch and although the feel is not as good as the Makita it will hold on to bits.

no, but note that the built in illuminator did nothing to improve quality. avoid this unit, it is useless.

No, no, no, a thousand times, no. It's awful, requires constant adjustment in three planes, and still doesn't throw a line close enough to where the blade comes down to matter.I wound up getting the DWS7085 LED light instead, forgoing arbor-mount lasers altogether. It casts a shadow of the blade on the material even without the blade spinning, so you know precisely where it's going to cut and it's safer because you're not spinning the blade while you're positioning your material. Never needs adjusting or batteries replaced.

I'm not sure where the 320 Lumens came from, but the original incandescent bulb puts out about 100 lumens of yellow light. This LED replacement puts out about 110 lumens of white light, so it appears much brighter. With that said, unless Dewalt fixed the issue with the jacked up threads I wouldn't buy another one of these.

I haven't been very satisfied with my light. Suggest that you might consider a different light.

According to DeWalt, they have no plans to make a cordless version anytime soon. Thanks.

Maglites have a lifetime guarantee. Just box it up and send it in to them if something goes wrong. If they charge you for a new LED it's worth it. They always send my lights back like brand new. Never cost more than 20 bucks with shipping. You can't beat that what a New Maglite.

There are screws on the upper side of the saw. Remove those, place the light's mount into place, and return the screws through the mount into the original holes.

This light is great for a guy who has dewalt tools. Any batteries will come with a dewalt tool. If he does not own any dewalt tools, then that's what you should buy. Dewalt is the best! P.S. Best damn flashlight ever!

Not that I know of.... But I have had mine for 6 months now with no problem. I have been happy with the light and its construction.

I have not had my light that long...prehaps the rechargeable battery is the problem. Have you contacted the makers of the light?? I don't remember if it had a certain life of the battery when I bought mine.
