    Hello All, I am looking for a work light for around the house. I don't want one of the high power lights on a tripod for painting cars. Rather I am looking for something smaller to be used for working on kitchen cabinets, under the hood of the Tacoma, in the basement ..... What are you guys using ? Thank you for any help suggestions.

    The only light I've consistently used over and over is my LED headlight. Originally got it when I would run early AM in the dark, but I end up using it everywhere. If I need light where I'm looking, what better than to just slap a light onto my forehead and have it follow where my head is pointed. It's quite bright and only takes 3 AAAs (I'm sure there are better ones out there now).

    M12 rover is my go to for that type of stuff. Magnetic and enough light for personal use, not to light up a driveway

    Just picked up one of these for use around the shop. If you want cordless, they have some that are pretty bright, but more expensive (less than 30 bucks).
