What kind of lighting do you guys to work in your rig? I have a decent head lamp but need something more.
I originally used a lot of cordless lights but I got tired of chasing around batteries and chargers. Now I use the standard plugin type work lights (with a long cord), but replace the bulb with an LED so it can take the shock load. Additionally, some of them come with a built in receptacle so you can plug in a grinder or whatever you need using the same cord.

So far I have been just using regular house hold LED bulbs from Costco I believe, nothing special. I have only destroyed one so far and it was from welding spatter melting through the plastic lens. Overall they are very tough and also don't get hot which was always a problem before.
I have one of these too. Great light.... bright, flexible, magnetic. Adding this has made me add USB ports in the shop too so I don't have to take them in the house to charge them by the phones, tablets & other USB devices.Have the below light and a corded work light. I take the harbor freight light on all trips. Got mine on sale for about $20.

Same, conveniently the magnetic light magnets to the power strip over my workbench so it’s always hanging there ready to go.I have one of these too. Great light.... bright, flexible, magnetic.

Same here, until I discovered that they made a ‘rough duty’ bulb specially for work lights.My problem was always knocking it over and wrecking the incandescent bulb
