New rechargeable work light

How do they charge

How do they charge?

The flat base sends the charging current through the magnet , the base is plugged into a standard 110 wall outlet.
Also the charging base magnetically sticks to my steel shop wall. There are holes in the base to screw it to a non steel wall.

I'm looking USB charging types.

These seem to work well. Strong magnets

I have similar ones and they work good

Smart electrician brand. Hook, magnet micro USB charger its somewhat of a smart charger cuz I've forgotten it was plugged in for days still holds a very good charge. Paid 20 bucks for it almost 5 yrs ago. It looks like this can take pictures of actual light if you want. I've priced genuine DeWalt brand 20volt lights and was blown away at what there asking for them.

Comes with a usb cord if that’s what you like , magnetic base system in my opinion is the way to go

I think it boils down to application, size, lumens, budget.
I just noticed this one on sale Lowe's, Ace Hardware, etc. USB charging. 10 THOUSAND lumens so probably a football field! Panels all adjustable and fold out then together to carry.
I'd get one except I seriously have 100+ flashlights as it is!

But for working on machines seems it needs to be smallish?

How small? Carry in pocket size?

This is the work light style I'm thinking would fit our needs best. With USB charging, easy to use on-off switch, adjustable light direction and magnetic base.

No hook though? Even a cheap plastic hook comes in handy in my experience with them.
