Recco's for field tested rechargeable led work lights -

Recommendations for field tested rechargeable led work lights -

Can anyone provide field tested/proven recommendations for rechargeable led work lights - both handheld and stationary versions. Looking for something convenient when doing electrical service changeouts and general use/troubleshooting.
How long have you had it?
Light output for each type
Hours of straight use per charge?
Battery life?
Charge time?
Drop tests?
Good/bad
Would you buy another?

Thx

Okay, I'll bite, what's a reccos?

Reconditioned, repossessed, reclaimed, reapplied, retreaded, reworked?

Owned by Ricky?

Hmm, okay. There is only one c in recommendations BTW, two m's however. Yes, I know, one in every crowd.

When you say service change outs, are you referring to electrical services?

What other rechargeable tools do you have, that should be a big factor in your choice of lights. Battery compatibility is very important IMHO.

I don't have any yet, but I'm strongly considering the Milwaukee M18 lights. I realize that does not answer your question about field tested...

There are lots of different work lights, perhaps you could narrow it down the type you are looking to use. Here are a few different types:

You also forgot one very important category: Light output
I have that last one above from Eastwood, and it puts out very little light. I usually grab a flashlight instead of using it.

There is an I in team!

Hmm, okay. I'll send you the next 100 emails I get with this term.

When you say service change outs, are you referring to electrical services? yup

What other rechargeable tools do you have, that should be a big factor in your choice of lights. Battery compatibility is very important IMHO. I have Dewalt 18v and the reviews aren't so good and limited choices/performance. I'm not going to let that reduce my choices for getting good lights.

I've been looking too but I'm looking for some end-user feedback to provide good working opinions of products to separate out the marketing hype.

Thanks for the input. I thought I had reasonably narrowed it down by purpose, cordless(battery), led, etc without too many constraints.

I'm looking for end-user product feedback on whatever people are continuously using and like and not simply a random list of possibilities w/o product knowledge. In that feedback, I would be able to figure out the light output. Bright is great, but if the light is blinding or can't be located in a useful manner then it is not a big help. I've seen many from 30 - 3,000 lumens. Handhelds will be less~ 50 - 250 lumens, while stationary 1000 - 3000 lumens.

However, I do like that 4' underhood light stick from eastwood for the vehicles. Thanks again.
