Does anyone have a fluorescnet drop llight that is actually usefull for something other than a torture device to be used while your working on a particularly difficult project? I swear my wife, or one that looks just like her, designed these freekin things to get us in out of our shops.

The ones I end up getting seem to shine right in my face almost every single time, shine anywhere and everywhere except where I actually need it, fall onto whatever it is I'm working on and seem to be clairvoyant somehow and know exactly when I am the most aggrivated. Then, at that precise moment is when it strikes and triggers the temper switch in my brain and makes me black out in a fit of rage. Well this time it went too far and I ended it's life with a swift high arc swing by it's evil tail smashing it into oblivion! I still don't know what happened to some of the pieces. I think they may have actually vaporized but I can't be sure.

Seriously, does anyone have one they are actually happy with? I now need to replace the one that is in my dustpan and I don't think my heart can take another black out incident. Maybe there is a model that comes with a bottle of Xanex or something.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I actually have a craftsman two bulb little flourescent work light, I am fairly happy with it. Its red, contoured handle, swivel hook at the top, I like it, I also like the fact that its "evil tail" is pretty long, so more often than not there is no need for an extension cord....I'll see if I can come up with a product link for you....

EDIT: Got a link.....mine doesnt have the magnet like this one does, but that seems handy too...

I bought one for 15 bucks at harbor freight awhole back, 2 bulb flourescent. The back of the tube is covered so light only shines from the front and sides and it has a good hook. Cord's a bit short though.

The older drop lights suck, I had one and it always burnt out and was always in the way more than anything else.

what about head lights? (like miners used to wear)

i usually use 2 drop lights to prevent rage and blinding myself.

I may have found a good solutioin. I found a head worn work light in a catalog at work. It has two lights in it. One led and one xenon. It may take a week or two to get. I'll let you know how it works.
