Currently using a retractible 13W flourescent tube (GX23 base) type Craftsman drop light - works OK but I don't think I'd miss the retractible cord...

Was considering some sort of rechargeable LED work light. Maybe a magnet mount? A hook to hang it from a hood with? Like the idea of being able to store it in an easy drop-in charging cradle when not in use so it's always charged and ready to go... Don't want to worry about delicate plug in ports/cables.

For example - Griot's has a Slim 'Wand-Style' LED Work Light w/ a magnetic base for $60. Maybe a tad high but usually their quality is good. But have to charge w/ a mini-USB I think - not drop in charging cradle. As grindy and dirty as some of my car projects can be - a USB port is probably not a good idea for my less than sterile garage projects and greasy hands.

Anybody have any recommendations? Or models to avoid?

Thanks,

Here's a retractible flourescent drop light similar to my old one

Done some looking real quick just now - didn't find any options with a drop in charger base - Mostly USB. Here's a Craftsman work light - but it has the little barrel connector for recharging... no 'drop in' a charger holder option...
