Wireless/rechargeable work light?

[EmptyWallet]

I'm looking for a wireless/rechargeable work light.

Kinda like this Bayco model:

....any thoughts on this model? Or others?

I got this one for Christmas and so far it's been a winner. Very versatile, there's a magnet on the top and the middle of the back that the hook can attach to. I'm sure you could spend a lot more but I don't know what you would gain

I was helping my brother in law wir eup his furnace in his garage. His neighbor came over with a work light so I could see what i was doing in the panel.
I loved it! Asked him where it's from. He said he got it last year as Black Friday from sears.
I went and got two. One for the truck, and one for the garage.
Use them both all the time!

Picked them up for around $12 each this last year.

I have several of that sears one some say sears some came from Orielly auto parts
wherever they were on sale
have 2 in the shop, 1 in the car hauler and 1 was in the work van when I was working.
have had them for a couple 3 maybe 4 yrs on the original all hold really good charge..
just make sure you don't plug them in where its cold out the first one I got from sears 4 yrs ago I made the mistake of leaving plugged in in the service truck during a really cold weekend at -30 it thinks it need to charge all the time fried the battery pack over the weekend Sears gave me a new one anyway.

I too have this light from Sears. Had it for a couple years it is a good light.
It is usually priced between 20-35 dollars. Hopefully you could catch it on sale.

Been through lots of cordless trouble lights.
If you want an amazing light, and I mean brighter than the sun, durable, functional, then you need this light:

I have one at work and one at home. Bought them from my snap-on rep through a catalogue he buys from. Snap-on brand of practically same light retails for $180

Not good for shining light a far distance, but it will illuminate your entire work area very nicely.

HMMMMM!!! 160 Lumens?!?

yeah, its crazy bright. Heres the Snap on equivilant I was comparing to (sorry, I have a snap-on fetish, but no way I was spending this much on a light)

The Streamlight knucklehead is a bit expensive but a quality light.

That ATD 80303 looks nice. I like the idea of a single strip of LEDs, but 3w and 160 lumens isn't all that bright a 100w light bulb is 1600, but under a hood in a shop it might be enough.

There LED products are advancing fast, something much brighter should be available soon.

The one you have pictured, the 66 LED Bayco

I have the one from Sears posted above. It works great, aside from the button being EXTREMELY difficult to push when it gets cold out, which is a minor concern

This light is fantastic.my classmate and teacher have one one bought from Cornwell and one from matco, but amazon has it even cheaper. The stinger is the best light hands down. The light is so bright it can be used as a defensive weapon.

I have bought those ones with 40 LEDS etc. The snap one I really like because its not realy directional. Nice spread on the light.

Roryuele , thanks for the heads up. I am going to buy that just to see the difference. I am all about the single strip LEDs now that I tried this snap on.

The snap on one also is more of a neautral white compared to the multiple LEDs ones, in that its more white than white/blueish tint. I realy like it so far. I'd like to get anohter, definately going to try that link that Roryuele had posted.

Glad I could help. Every light has a different application, and this one works best for me as i dont need a "spotlight" type.

Strip led's get me all excited. Imagine those on the garage ceiling instead of flourescents??? one day....
