Should I buy a corded or cordless work light?

Cordless lights win for diagnostics, automotive, and any task where you move constantly; cordless models on major tool platforms (DeWalt 20V, Milwaukee M18, Ryobi 18V) let you share batteries across tools. Corded or plug-in tripod lights still dominate for long jobsite shifts because they never dim and don't need to be swapped out. Many reviewers recommend owning both.
