New rechargeable work light

[ArlyA]

Need to replace my work light and looked through reviews but didn't like them. What do you have? I'm looking for one with magnetic base, simple on-0ff switch and rechargeable like a phone. Not a special base type. Do you have one like this?

Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ USB ROVER™ Pivoting Flood Light​

It’s small, magnetic base, carabiner clip, USB rechargeable, pivots, and has three brightness levels. The only downside is that on the highest level, 550 lumens, the battery only lasts a couple of hours. I have extra batteries and usually run it at the middle setting. I have an older Jeep that was giving me fits and this little light took a beating. It’s small enough you can get it in tight places and the magnetic base holds it solidly. If this is the type of work light you are looking for you can’t go wrong with this one.

These seem to work well. Strong magnets

Do you have to push the button repeatedly to get in off? Most lights you do aND that drives me nuts!

 

[Engineer42]

No. Once on, once off. If you push the button more than once initially, you can get different settings. But once for full, use it, then once again is off.

 

[JohnP3616]

Uh oh. Yes, on the Milwaukee the first time you push the button it comes on at the highest setting, push again for middle settling, again for lowest and then again for off.

No. Once on, once off. If you push the button more than once initially, you can get different settings. But once for full, use it, then once again is off.

I will check these out when I get home.

For task lighting, I use this one by Bayco Products. It has 2 magnets and a hook. But it is best for short tasks like changing a fuse or finding a dime under the seat.

For a long lasting trouble light I use my Makita batteries on this light. I like it so much I have one in the house, garage and shed.

I didn't even think about makita who's 18volt tools I already use. I'll check them out. We have a unlight garage we park our 6x6 and other items in that I occasionally need to work on. My eyes are not getting better with age!

There are also sellers on Amazon that sell 3rd party Makita/Milwaukee/Dewalt battery compatible lights, at far less than the name brand light, but use the name brand battery.
