I have the worst luck ever with work lights. I either shatter glass bulbs, melt plastic bulbs welding or burn the crap out of myself laying under a car with the standard lights. The LED strip ones have rendered themselves useless after a single small fall from car hood height and the harbor freight replacement I got with the (10 inch'ish) bulb flickers enough to give Ray Charles a seizure. It was replaced with a craftsman that did nearly the same thing after a month.
Like the old saying goes... I'm a good operator, I'm just hard on equipment.
I have been rendered to using my mini-mag LED and flood lights for the past 3 months and I have two five gallon buckets of garbage drop lights. Any suggestions of something that will just do what it says it'll do?
What do you gentleman use?
I use a CF tube light on a retractable reel.
I do tend to not abuse it too much.
I got a rechargeable LED unit made by Black and Decker a couple years ago as a gift and it's what I reach for first. I was sort of dismissive at first as Black and Decker stuff isn't really pro-quality, and I'm a bit of a tool snob. But it's great, has plenty of run time and seems pretty indestructible.
It's nice at the track, too.

In reply to FranktheTank:
I too use the CF tube-on-a-reel.
I also have a few melted carpets & floor mats from the old-fashioned 75W drop cord...hate it, but I keep using it. Go figure.

I have a 7.2v 9-LED Snap-On flashlight. Might have cost $20, but the batteries also power my cordless screwdriver.

I have burned my forehead with these. You use it because it is BRIGHT.
rough service bulbs last for ever.
