Best Work Lights
Work-light picks split on lumens, runtime (for cordless), CRI (color accuracy for finish work), and form factor (tower, area, headlamp). Milwaukee and DeWalt dominate the cordless tier; shop-light favorites include Hyperlight and Lithonia. Synthesized from r/Tools / r/Construction verdicts.
Each top-5 pick gets a distinct “Best For” classification so a single list serves multiple buyer profiles. Expected categories for work lights:
Best overallBest cordlessBest LED shop lightBest tower lightBest for finish work (high CRI)Best headlamp / wearableBest budget
