You can get cheap thread adapters to convert if you have an existing 1/4" tripod

I think it's UNC but 1/4 BSW will fit because they only differ slightly in thread angle (60º UNC vs. 55º BSW).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripod_(photography)
Historically, The Royal Photographic Society recommended the thread standard for attaching older cameras to tripods was 3/16-24 BSW (3/16 inch nominal diameter, 24 threads per inch), or 1/4-20 BSW[4] for smaller cameras and 3/8-16 BSW[5] for larger cameras and pan/tilt heads. In this application, the BSW and UNC thread profiles are similar enough that one can mount a modern camera on a legacy tripod and vice versa. The UNC threads are a 60-degree angle and flattened, whereas the BSW are a 55-degree angle and rounded crest. However, at least one English manufacturer uses No.1 B.A. (British Association) for its tripod mount thread.
Bolt threads
Per ISO 1222:2010,[1] the current tripod bolt thread standard for attaching the camera calls for a 1/4-20 UNC[2] or 3/8-16 UNC thread.[3] Most consumer cameras are fitted with 1/4-20 UNC threads. Larger, professional cameras and lenses may be fitted with 3/8-16 UNC threads, plus a removable 1/4-20 UNC adapter, allowing them to be mounted on a tripod using either standard.Historically, The Royal Photographic Society recommended the thread standard for attaching older cameras to tripods was 3/16-24 BSW (3/16 inch nominal diameter, 24 threads per inch), or 1/4-20 BSW[4] for smaller cameras and 3/8-16 BSW[5] for larger cameras and pan/tilt heads.

What is the model number of the lamp?
The DCL077 looks to have both 1/4" and 5/8" (https://www.protoolreviews.com/dewalt-dcl077-task-light/).
The DCL074 looks to have only 5/8" (https://toolguyd.com/dewalt-dcl074-cordless-worklight-bluetooth/).
