A workshop is a tough place for lights.  Heat, moisture, vibration and breakages are constant dangers, while lights are expected to illuminate the tiniest cracks and crevices.  All these factors make LED lighting a great candidate for garage and shop use.  Here are four of the top portable LED work lights available to shine some light on your next project.

Black & Decker Bright Bar 26 LED Work Light
The Black & Decker Bright Bar is a hanging work light with a swivel hook to direct its light where you need it.  A built-in Ni-MH rechargeable battery makes the Bright Bar usable as a cordless light – a huge advantage in a tight or crowded workspace.  It features high and low light settings, and the battery powers the 26-LED light for up to seven hours.  The Bright Bar also includes a 120-volt AC adapter for plug-in use and battery charging.

You can find the Black & Decker Bright Bar LED work light at Amazon for $37.95.

Sylvania LED Work Light

The Sylvania LED work light is a much smaller and more compact light than the Black & Decker.  Although the one-watt LED produces less light, the magnetic base and tip let it attach to any ferrous surface, and the gooseneck design allows the light to be precisely directed at the project area.  The Sylvania LED work light is shock resistant and easily portable, and it won’t break the bank.

The Sylvania LED work light is available at Amazon for $7.83.

The Buffalo Tool LED work light gives rechargeable, cordless convenience in a durable design.  The case is water-resistant, shatterproof, and oil-resistant, and the 27 LEDs provide light comparable to a 40-watt incandescent bulb.  A magnetic holder is included along with a hook attachment, so users have plenty of positioning options.  The Buffalo Tool LED light includes 120-volt and 12-volt chargers.

You can find the Buffalo Tool 27 LED Work Light for $29.74 at Amazon.

Black & Decker Flex Light/ 18 LED Area Light

The combination Flex Light and LED Area Light from Black & Decker balances wide area lighting with precision task lighting.  The base features both a magnet and a spring clamp so positioning the light is a breeze, and a flexible arm holds a magnetic tray for keeping small items handy.  18 LEDs in the main light provide general area lighting, and the 3-LED flex-lamp can be precisely positioned for close-up illumination.  Power comes from six AA batteries, so there are no cords to get in the way.

The Black & Decker Flex Light/ 18 LED Area Light is available from Amazon for $14.95.
