Have a set of these I bought from Costco a while back. They're too dim as a work light in my opinion.
These are good, but no magnets at the back like the CAT ones they used to have.
I have them. Cheap and decent - but as others mentioned, not super bright as a single unit. 3 of them give out a decent light to work on a car, or in the attic. For 9 bucks, including batteries, it is a no-brainer. In for one more set, thanks op.

Sorry but I'm filling to see in what use case these are better than a headlamp or a regular lamp / flashlight.
How about a situation where you need lighting from multiple different angles/a single angle that is not directly from your forehead (headlamp) and not concentrated in a beam (flashlight)? Not that hard to think of a situation where you would prefer a different form of light. If you can't think of any it's clearly not the product for you, move along.

They make lamps that you can control/widen the light beam into a lamp, you know. They're rechargable and brighter. I guess they cost a few bucks more but you'll spend that on batteries pretty quick.
I got one from urlhasbeenblocked (B a n g G o o d) for $8.
No Model number, no Company name.
Accepts both 2x18650 or 4xAA (not at the same time, one or the other).
Onboard recharge of 18650 via micro USB.
Onboard charging of USB device via USB A (like a battery bank).
About 600-700 Lumen, like real lumen, not advertised.
(mine is the flood light version, there is a focused version that could seem brighter).
Less bright than my 1000 Lumen advertised flash light.
Brighter than my 600 Lumen advertised AA flash light.
Rugged Built. Carbon impregnated plastic with fiber reinforced.
Ship from China to USA was 25 to 28 days i think.
2x18650 last about 2 hours at max brightness then starts to dim continuously for 2 more hours.
I would switch out the 18650s if battery gets low.
The cutoff voltage was below 3.0V, which I am not comfortable to test.
I run recycle laptop 18650s. Performance really depends on your battery quality.

Should be only one "XANES® 24C 30W COB LED ... "
US$9.35 plus shipping US$0.81
which is about the same as what i paid for in total (was $8 plus $3 shipping)
Wow people complaining and looking for better (brighter, rechargeable) bombproof lights. Goodluck finding those 3 for 10.
You might not find this suitable for your own use case that doesnt mean this is not a good deal.
3 for 10 doesn't mean much if you need to keep buying expensive batteries. You can get similar cheap rechargable lights that will cost less in the medium/long term.
Samsung and LG produce good batteries.
I do not have exact models for you.
I only repurpose 18650 in old laptops from friends and family.
I have enough 18650 that I do not shop for new ones.
Ive had these for about a year. Useful in a few work situations, but mainly keep them for if the power goes out now. Pretty useful to keep a room lit up even if its only one time. Batteries last 10+ hours

usb/wireless/magnetic charge should be a requirement

Could you suggest some good "18650" batteries?
Thanks
