Can anyone recommend a good shop light for doing work underhood or anywhere else for that matter? I end up wedging my existing shop light in whatever nook or cranny that is available, and that's far from the best solution. It's time to upgrade how I do things!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions born from experience.

I bought this one over a year ago and love it. SUPER bright and the battery seems to last quite a while. I'm sure when I bought it, it was prime though.

I have a few shop lights, but I have not used any of them since buying this: http://www.zebralight.com/H602-18650-XM-L2-Flood-Headlamp-Cool-White_p_128.html Put it on your head, turn it on and forget it. It shines where you look. No wasted time positioning and repositioning a shop light. 1090 lumens. So powerful it kicks your head back when you turn it on. Okay, that's a lie. Like a Q-Beam on your head though. Light and comfortable. So comfortable I forget I have it on. Three main light levels, each with sub-levels to infinity, and tactical mode. Next time you have a flat on the side of the road you will be glad you bought this and not a shop light. I use mine every night walking the dog. Electricity off at your house? No problem: turn it up to shine on the ceiling and the room is illuminated. Shine it into the eyes of a perp and they are blinded, you have the tactical advantage.
