I got an email flyer from Menards for the below light. I bought one as it seem to a pretty good deal. Napa is selling it for $135.

Underhood Work Light

With three adjustable lamps, providing up to 400 lumens each, this work light is a step ahead of the pack. The lamp heads rotate to allow flexible spread of light to illuminate all of your work area. Four rechargeable lithium ion batteries provide up to 360-minute life (three lamps) or...

I just use a Costco/FEIT 'double-bulb' 4 ft strip light and prop it up if I need to work under the hood. I use it under the car too, it works well.

The Menards luminaire looks like a good price for one with features. No Menards I know of here in So. FL. We just started having O-Reilly's come in a few places. Mostly it's NAPA (where I prefer to go), Auto Zone, and Advance Auto, where I can use a commercial account, and pay cash. I save a lot of $ with that last one.

I’ve got the SO underhood light, it cost a little more than that
Keep an eye on your hood though, the extra weight causes the hood on one of my cars to slam shut. I’m not real crazy about the charging method/battery on those but I have a little handheld like that that’s hung around longer than I ever expected it would.

IMO, you can’t have too many lights. My favorite use of the underhood light is actually inside the car. I have a little M12 light with magnetic base and articulating arm that’s really my go to everywhere else

Yeah, I would never want a rechargeable underhood light.
