Welcome to ECN!
In response to your question, I use the DeWalt swivel head work light that uses the 14.4v batteries from my drill.
Other than that, for area lighting I use a standard Quartz/Halogen floodlight. I used to have one on a tripod that I salvaged from a jobsite, but it got lifted, so I'll probably get another one.
The only poroblem I've had with the standard "garage" style work/drop/trouble light is I keep knocking the lamp and blowing the bulbs!
Maybe I'll invest in a FL hand light...
