Have a countertop in my garage where I work on small projects from time to time and come to the conclusion I need more light. I have some wall cabinets over the countertop where I could mount some lighting but do not have an outlet near.

Is there anything battery powered that would be bright enough to consider useful? Looking for suggestions. Thanks.

I have used the Milwaukee 18v job site light and the ryobi. Both were extremely bright. Batteries last a while in them also

I have the same exact set up and issue. I plan on running a wire and installing a light switch next to the bench at some point.

Probably the route I will end up going. Just hoping to get by with something before doing that. I do like the idea of the Ryobi (or Dewalt in my case) led light as well.

I’ll drop the schtick. But this as a follow up thread required this response.

Plenty of rechargeable LED options out there, Dewalt has several work lights for the 20V system and they are very bright. There are also battery-powered LED fixtures that are easy to install, used to have one for my reloading bench.
