Headlamp or work light — which to choose?

Headlamp vs work light. Zone lighting: flood lights, work lighting guide.

• Headlamps: EMOS P3542 — 500 lm, IR sensor for touch-free switching; Energizer HDL60 — 575 lm, rechargeable or 3×AAA, IPX7; Energizer Vision Ultra HD — 450 lm, 3×AAA.
• Work lights: Rapid The Mechanic — hook + magnet, ~3 h / ~10 h; Rapid The Inspector — stand, magnet, hook, IP42; EMOS 230 V hand lamp — 5 m cable, dry rooms.
• Zone: Rapid The Portable — 1000 lm, IP65 · flood lights.

Batteries or rechargeable? Rechargeable is cheaper for frequent use; AAA suits a lamp that sits in the car for months. A lamp that takes both (like HDL60) avoids the choice.
