I have been on-line looking at options for a LED - under hood type work light (that will be long enough to attach to a C-body hood) and will not require me to invest in an additional purchase of battery packs and a charging system.

From what I have read, 2,000 Lumens seems to be the best output to fully light the engine compartment area, and if possible, you would like the light be adjustable (slide a bit left to right).

The least expensive option appears to be the Harbor Freight ICON brand for approximately $90, the Milwaukee brand light is the most expensive at $300.

Other than removing the hood and allowing the overhead lights to perform the illumination, what have you found to be useful. My garage has no natural light and is as essentially a cave.

Also, this information may also be use our member's as a Holiday gift idea ; )
 
This isn't what you are looking for, but I've bought 4 of these so far... One got broken (apparently they won't take being thrown across the shop LOL) ) and the other 3 are hanging in there. They are extremely handy and small enough to slip in your pocket while you are working. I got the red color so I can spot them easier.

My only complaint is the magnetic base could be a little stronger.
