That is why I like my Olight H1 Nova. It can be a head lamp or I can use the magnet to stick it.

I also like the Olight S1R because I can clip it on my hat or use the magnet.

If u have any cordless equipment such as a drill, look to see if that same company sells a light that uses the same battery system (14v, 18v, etc.). I happen to have a Bosch, but I know that Milwaukee, Mikita, Dewalt, Porter Cable, all sell lights.

I have the same light randy41 has, it's bright and its tough, I have had it for a long time and have dropped it many times and it just keeps on working.

I use Olight flashlights and have had very good luck with them.

Another vote for Olights..Fenix & streamlight would be my next choices..

I had a couple of cheapies from Princess auto that had a magnet on the base and the head pivoted. Not many places where I could not deploy it effectively. Unfortunately the cells fail. I wish they used common replaceable cells like a nicad AA. Or you could grab some Alkaline battteries in a pinch. I swear people that design these things, never really use them.

I am changing a lot of my lights to USB rechargeable, absolutely over trying to find the charger packs and there are so many laying around.

I was in Rural King and saw a small led light 700 lumens for $5. It has to stand or hang, no magnet, but price was right.

Next time in Harbor Freight I need to shop..... BUT..... Do like the Olight mentioned here.

I use a LED headlamp. I have numerous ones lying around from my caving days.

I use a baseball cap with LEDs in the brim. Lowe's sells them.

I can’t offer an opinion on the light but I CAN recommend these switchable magnetic hangers by Magswitch. Mine has a 20 pound pull but they are also available in 40 pound.
