Is this model any good in terms of brightness? How's the battery life in the real world? Any experiences? Thanks

Do yourself a favor, get this capi tools model instead.. One of the best lights I have.. Lithium battery, works cordless and with the charger in. The light is very bright, very even and VERY good. Can light up the whole engine bay. It's brighter than that craftsman, thinner, and probably built better too.

Capri Tools 40464 60-LED SMD Cordless Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Work Light, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AYNQQNS/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Demo video on YouTube. Search and there's 2 more I think

Thanks for the suggestion! Does it comes with battery? Is it replaceable? Thanks!

I second the Capri Tools light. Very light and bright. True, clean white LED color. I've also had oil and nasty stuff on the handle, but still holding up great. Solid unit for the price. The only thing I wish it had was a base so that it doesn't fall over when I need it to stand up.

It's a non replaceable battery.. Mine sits around not being used quite a bit, and it'll give me about 3 hours when I use it I think..

It was a little cheaper on Amazon a while ago, but honestly once you get it you'll feel like you got a great deal.. If it were $100 I think people would still buy it.. It more usefull then my Milwaukee lights when I work on my own car.

The base is a good idea. But it comes with 2 hooks, a magnetic clip (you can prob upgrade the magnet with one from HD if you wanted) and the light itself is hex shaped so it won't roll on the ground and you can use that to help aim it.

You will love it. Since we're talking about lights, I want to mention something I really love since I got it: pocket COB LED light.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BR6D1E/?tag=atomicindus08-20

This is the Chip on Board (COB) version, not the cheap individual round head LEDs version. It's unbelievably bright. I keep one on my desk when I need to go look for stuff in the dark, or just to look around in the engine bay. Made by E-Z Red, but I went with the CAT version, because yellow :D.
