I don't know that 200 lumens is super bright but the ad says so.

If the ad says so, it must be true! But sadly, it is not.

Do you have any battery operated tools? If so, you could simply go with a light in the same line, because you already have batteries. For example, Ryobi makes this light that clips on any 2x4, and should be plenty bright enough. My friend has one and I use it at his house sometimes as we're doing remodeling over there. Personally I have Makita, and I often take the Makite light camping with me. Of course DeWalt and all the others have their own. You can find a cheaper one at Harbor Freight, but sometimes that battery technology sucks. And sometimes they have great deals - you never know.

Not to go off on a tangent, but I work with a buddy who for some reason invested in Ryobi tools*. I think it might have been because he didn't originally plan on using them for professional work, but now that he is, I can tell you that line is not up to professional use. And of course professional and amateur use form a Venn diagram and there is some overlap. But the batteries just don't last a long time compared to pro stuff, and most of the tools are just underpowered for serious work. Given the lower price it might be a good choice for shorter term use. I can tell you for sure that we aren't getting anywhere close to 24 hour runtimes on the lights. In fact we're not getting 8 hour runtimes.

*he has realized that some tools need replacements, and he's going with DeWalt one tool at a time as needed. Having two battery systems is a waste, that's why we always try to tell people to think carefully before picking that first battery tool brand....
