   I use these. The swivel magnet is very strong.
   The little ones have strong magnets, too, and clips.
   They charge fast, last a long time, and are very bright with modes if you don't need blinding. I've had them for a couple of years now, and they're like new still.
   Although they are expensive for lights, they are high quality, and I would replace them immediately if something happened.

   Now that is indeed a clever approach. Will have to get one of these.

   Harbor Freight has a new one I'm pretty impressed with. I took the clamp off the magnet as soon as it came out of the box, but the magnet is VERY strong.

   I picked up the icon series task light from HF. Really strong magnet, 800 lumens. I can mount it sideways on a drill press or bandsaw with no issues. For my bench, I added a magnet on a 3/4” dowel, drop that in a dog hole, and stick the light on top of that. This light gets used almost daily.

   Very happy with this:

   Another option is a light into which you can fit a battery from any battery-powered tool range you have spares for.

   I have a Bosch FL12 12V Max LED Worklight, for example, as I have a number of 12v Bosch tools and plenty of spare batteries that'll go in this light.

   The more methods the light has for mounting in various ways, the better. A strong magnet is also important - some are rather feeble. Happily the Bosch fills all those requirements and also has a two level light output.

   Thanks. I don’t think one light will serve each of my needs so I am going to buy a couple of these that ya’ll suggested.
