I'd like to purchase a LED work light. I had a older Halogen thin bulb light and besides putting out too much light and being very bright, it's hot, too hot for the summer.
I'm divided between a USB rechargeable light with a lithium battery, which I always have electricity, because it is smaller and lighter than 120v and easily charged on the job if needed; or a 120v light then I never have to worry about a battery failing and the unit becoming a throw away.
Next, how many lumens should I be looking at?
I'm looking using it in areas where I'm doing sheetrock, taping, painting, plumbing, replacing a hot water heater in a darker basement, working on a lawn mower or a snowblower in someone's garage, on the occasion that I need extra light. I don't need to light up the whole room, I can turn it, move it, but it should light up most of the wall.
