Who makes a quality rechargeable work light?

[buco]

Looking at getting one, brother in law has a dewalt, seems ok. Anyone have any experiences?

I'm a frugal guy but must say the led light I bought from snap on is the ****

My dad got me the ez red one for Christmas and I like it a lot.

I have a 60 led Saber light, works great and charges fast. Not that expensive either. Nice comfort grip handle too (not hard plastic).

I have this one: Knucklehead and really like it. I used Eneloop rechargealbe AA batteries. Streamlight makes a rechargable version but it's almost double the price. It has a very strong magnet.

I have used the saber led worklight for 5 years and it is still lasting for a solid 4.5 hours of straight on time. Part number is ATD-80236. I can't speak highly enough about this light.

Below is the link to tool desk for $48.97

Me!

Two 50 watt bulbs and a riding lawnmower battery. Cost roughly $50. Points light where you need it. Burns for hours. Add another $30 for the 2 amp trickle charger if you don't already have one.

AndyA: That's a great idea...I might be making one of those for me.

Here is the one I like. I got it at Costco, but they are available at Home Depot now. It comes with a vehicle and wall power charger. Lasts quite a while. Pretty bright. I think it is in the $20 range.

@AndyA - that is a great idea. Something tells me that I'll be copying that at some point...

I have the same light; it is the best worklight I have ever had so far.
It has survived a brutal shop environment and many drops to concrete.

Tbe newer blue point one looks awesome.

Cant go wrong with streamlight though.

 

[shoturtle]

The Bosch led light are nice as well, like that they shear the 18v battery of the tools, they have allot lof life with 18v and led

My buddy turned me on to this one and it gets used a lot:

My only complaint is that it doesn't throw a wide angle of light. I don't know if that is because of the design or a characteristic inherent to an led.

I'm testing a Mac unit at the moment. So far so good.

I greatly like Dewalt's 12V and 20V versions, as well as Craftsman's 12V Nectec fluorescent version.

I've got a Bayco that i picked up at Lowe's, used it for quite a while now and have been impressed. Have dropped it several times and it holds a good charge. Comes with home and car charger. Looks like this one, the lowes site is down at the moment.

My wife liked the light made from the riding lawnmower battery, but she complained it was too heavy.

So I made another one from the smallest motorcycle/atv battery I could find. The battery is 4lbs. The whole thing is maybe 5 or 6 lbs. The red wire has an inline fuse. The 'dongle' is a connector that mates to the trickle charger.

Cost:
$39.95 for the battery.
$10 for half of a cheap automotive light kit.
$19.99 for a cheap trickle charger.
$0 misc scrap metal.
A few hours of fun in the shop.

I need to dig around in my junk to see if I have a rubber boot to cover the positive terminal.
I'm not sure how long this one will burn before getting dim. This one is designed more for use as a flashlight, whereas the other one was designed to sit there and burn for hours while you're working.

+1, on the Bayco SLR2166.

 

[Sureshot]

I have had two Baycos. Love them both. Take them on hunting trips and camping. First led a very rough and active life before it died. Second one is running like a champ.

I will also be looking to build one of those work lights. I have all the ingredients sitting around.

$26 at my home depot, I've got one, I really like it.

Reviving an old thread...

I am looking for a light that I can leave in my vehicle and have great light output on demand. While I do see using this around home the time I most need this is at our vacation home. We are in a rather remote part of the UP where is gets really dark really early in the winter. Looking for something that has a li-on battery so sub zero temps won't deplete it as quickly and high light output so I can see what I am doing turning power back on in the house and unloading that car.

Does anyone have any experience with this light? Other suggestions?
