The Spruce
We like this as a general-purpose work light since it can be used in many different ways.
It’s fairly heavy, but it has a convenient carrying handle.
This work light is very durable, so it can handle plenty of rough use.

Its impact resistant, which is essential for any tripod-mounted light due to the chance of tipping over.
Its also water resistant, so you could use it uncovered outdoors.
