What do you use for a drop or work light?

Rusty I use a combo. I have some cheap clamp on reflector lamps and a couple of beat up conventional old drop cords. The "trick" is that I use cheap LED screw in bulbs in 'em. They don't get hot and you can drop them a few times

CAVEAT: I did drop one the LED came out of the screw in base which was crimped to the plastic "bulb." I actually epoxied it back in, been workin' ever since LOL

I need LOTS of light anymore

I just bought a 5" clamp light from Menards. I put in a 100w equivalent LED bulb. It's super bright, not hot, easy to clamp anywhere and direct the light where you need it. I absolutely love it. I'm going to get some more for my wood working bench. My wife already took mine for her sewing area. LOL . They are only $6.00 at Menards. The smaller size makes it easier to direct the light where you want it and not in your eyes. I've used lots of different lights over the years and I think this is a great inexpensive solution. I also like the headlamp type light also.
