    USB rechargeable is where it's at for things like this. I have a few stick on flat lights, and nearly every light I own now is rechargable via USB. So many batteries saved.

    I bought a similar one of these at Harbor freight about 7-8 months ago, best work light for my job that has ever been.

    I use the free ones from harbor freight. How much brighter are these than those?

    Wonder if they make them bigger. I want one that I can hang under the hood or slide under the car and is bright enough for old eyes.

    I have no real data for brightness, but it leaves spots in your eyes if you look directly into it. Heck i was blinding the wife accidentally last night when i was doing something and she came outside to see what was up.

    I was using the free harbor freight lights. They’re fine, but I didn’t like having to constantly reposition them to see where I’m working. I bought these cheap headlamps on sale for $9 for a two pack. They throw out a really nice flood beam and it’s nice being completely hands free.
