I'm after a portable rechargeable work light for garage. When boredom sets in, I often go to the garage and clean my bike wheels and other bits I've missed. I've got an Erbauer plug in, but it's kind of fixed and a pita to move, so rechargeable it is.
Any suggestions??

The eBay bicycle lights are super bright. They'll last 3-4 hours

I have an erbauer light that I’m very happy with, there are a couple of models with different outputs, I think I have the middle one which is really bright.- wall mountable if needed too.

Try NightSearcher - I purchased several for a project at work and they are very good. Light, bright and good battery life. Their customer service is very good too - I had one fail out of warranty and they still repaired it FOC for me.....

I’ve got a similar one from Toolstation, it is excellent, so much so I’m probably going to pick up another next time I’m there.Druid wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 9:50 am I have one of these

Re: Rechargeable work light.
What battery platform are you on if you have any cordless tools?
Most of the big players (Makita, De-Walt-Hitachi- Milwaukee and so on) have LED worklights that use the same batteries and chargers as the drills.
I have a good De-Walt one but I also have three 5 Ah and two 9 Ah De-Walt batteries to power it so the choice was simple.
If your on another battery platform tben try to go with that, its a lot better than the LED lights with integral batteries cos they don't have the amp hours nor ca you just fire another bettery in when it runs out.
