Want a magnetic lamp.

[Jacobson]

I find myself working under the car sometimes, and I want to point a light into a cavity. Stick light or lantern or flashlight no good. I want to stick the damn light right up in there. The magnetic kind that can stick to anything right next to the work area. Any cheap alternatives ?



I got this for $26, and am happy.
It's got a slightly cheaper build quality than the industrial strength types that cost $200.
But for casual infrequent use, it's perfect.
Really bright, and much better COB LED.

I just added this to the tools. $48
Strong build quality.
Plus, swivel base.
Big step up.
400 lumens (instead of 220 like the NEBO)

About as cheap as it gets but if you put good batteries in them they work great http://www.harborfreight.com/27-led-portable-worklight-flashlight-67227.html

These are pretty nice. Decent magnet and adjustable so you can direct the light to where you need it.

I'll second these, they work great (and are resold under the truck brands).

Thanks, I'll try the $3 onw from HF.
Anyone use a rechargeable one?

**** probe? FYI, you can get the HF one for free with a coupon.

You can really ram this one up in a dark crevice or crack and it might really light up your face if you're into that type of thing!

I have a Craftsman that works pretty good. I also have this large one from HF its nice but to big to do a lot with.

 

[Jacobson]

Thanks daredevil, I already have that light sabre thing, I just want something small I can stick right next to the undercarriage in tight spots where da sun don't shine!

 

[Jacobson]

I think this is what I was looking for.

Not cheap but these are very good lights.

I concurr, these do came in handy...

I have the one with 24 LEDs and it's not quite bright enough for me.

The newer RT-48LTCH models from Ullman are twice as bright with 48 lights and are rechargeable.

 

[Jacobson]

I think the COB LED technology is better than these indiv. LED bulbs?

These are awesome, I bought three of them, yes they are pricey but boy they light up a work area something fierce. They fit in the palm of your hand and have a really strong magnet.

was looking at the hybridlight mammoth. it's fairly big but the thing will run for something like 18 hours, has a solar panel to charge it, and you can use it as a power bank!

picked up the snap-on ECFHKY (catchy name, right?) pivot light and it's badass. 5 hour runtime on low, i've never even used it on high. magnet will let it stick ANYWHERE. i've been sticking it to hydraulic hoses #10 all the way to #24 and there's enough metal braid for the light to stick, so good.
