Recommend an LED work light

Never_Enough · 01-09-2015, 03:18 PM

Will be used for working on cars.
Looking for the style linked below and would like to keep it around $20-$30.
I'm finding that most of these lights don't list the lumens in the ad.

Best one I ever used was this $10 one. It will light up my whole garage like it's daytime.

Has a little magnetic clip on the back too. You may want a bigger one though, this is just a handheld.

Yea, I want something I can mount under the hood or something like that.

This one is magnetic so you can. Pretty powerful magnet which also swivels so you can aim the light anywhere.

Harbor Freight has some folding magnetic lights that are fantastic

I recently bought this one for a project I was doing. I have only used it 3-4 times so far, but the light if perfect for under hood work. Great light everywhere without a tight spot you have to try and get right. I am very happy with it. Looks like close to the same one you have.

I also recently bought this. I have not used it under a hood yet, but I tried it in some dark corners of my basement and I think it might be the best headlight I have every bought - and I have bought several. I can't speak to it's durability yet, but I think it is going to be a nice purchase for the $.
