My son-in-law has a floor model of this one. I suspect this bench model is the same unit but with a different base. It's super bright - like 'can't look directly at it bright - but its real advantage is you can also plug it into a 110 outlet with an extension cord. I'm hoping to find that Dewalt makes a similar light to be compatible with all my other battery powered tools. If not, I'll probably end up with one of these in my shop.

The Ryobi PCL630 18V Hybrid LED Flood Light presents some solid options due to its three modes, many mounting options, and dual power source.

I have two of these 390 lumen rechargeables (magnetic base), and I use them constantly. Keep one in the welding shop, and it makes a huge difference when viewing the puddle. The adjustable angle is a great feature. I see they also have a 500, and an 800 lumen version but the 390 has been more than adequate for me.

I think I've purchased five of these at this point: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0877794DG

No cord, long battery life, very bright, magnet strong enough to actually be usable. I don't know what I'd do without them. BrightEST? Who knows? I haven't tried them all...

I use a similar one that HF sells. It is a Braun rechargeable. I keep one on the Mill and one in the house. I've tried many other types and styles including ones that you wear like a head band and this one work best for me. I have 3 4 foot Led shop lights hanging above my 2 lathes and Mill and as good as they are I seem to never have enough light in the right place. My pocket magnifiers all have LEDs built into them. Can you tell I am an old guy? LOL I have gave several to friends and family members. https://www.harborfreight.com/390-lumen-led-rechargeable-magnetic-slim-bar-work-light-56329.html
 
I don't have a specific recommendation but I will offer this. I never buy LED lighting that doesn't have an outpit rating in lumens. Super bright , high intensity, etc. are meaningless marketing terms. Even candela or candlepower don't mean a lot without knowing the size of the beam. For reference, a 60 watt incandescent bulb produces about 800-900 lumens, a 75 watt about 1200 lumens, and a 100 watt about 1600 lumens. You will actually get more light from a from a similarly rated directional LED as the light is concentrated in the forward direction.
