On the floor work light

[Gelbster]

[QUOTE=Pdwight;507700]I have a Snap-On line voltage worklight that looks like a small sun when turned on....really too much most of the time. I am looking for a rechargeable LED floor light for my shop,
In the shop we use HF led lights because the guys destroy them - but they love them !
We have yet to find one at any price that can be drooped or run over without damage ,so we buy the cheapest. And they never get stolen -unlike S.O.
The irritating thing about some is they have a dazzling flashing function in the switch sequence.
Get the biggest, brightest one you can to illuminate a large area but also get nother one with a searing pencil beam. This is fantastic for inspecting the bowels of our cars. For example AOS issues- you need a very bright light to see what is going on up there !
Oddly one hack we use when you need two hands and lots of light - I have an adapted Miner's hard hat that stays on even when I tilt my head backwards(AOS) and I use one of those tiny free HF LED flashlights in my mouth. This trick plus long skinny fingers is invaluable on the M96. The guys with sausage fingers get to work on other stuff -much to their chagrin !
It is the closest work to proctology I know !

When I'm working on a car that's on jack stands, I slide an old 48" florescent light underneath. The illumination is even and bright and the fixture is narrow enough that it is easy to keep out of the way. I use a headlamp for tight areas.
