A worklight and a spotlight solve opposite problems. A COB worklight spreads light across an area, which is what fills an engine bay or a bench. A spotlight throws a beam, which reaches a distant point but leaves everything either side of it dark. Choosing the wrong one leaves the work either shadowed or lit only in the middle.
Output and form therefore have to be read together. A 700 lumen worklight lighting a bay is more useful than a 1300 lumen spotlight doing the same job, because the light is where the work is rather than concentrated on one point. Both are held rechargeable, so the choice is about beam shape rather than about how the light is powered.
Power source decides where the light goes. Rechargeable lights work anywhere and are charged between uses. Cordless platform lights run from the battery already owned for the tools, which means one charger rather than two. A platform light also shares runtime with the tools, which is worth allowing for on a long job. Charging from USB also means the light shares a charger with everything else on a bench.
Mounting matters as much as output on a light used at a bench. A magnifying lamp with dimming holds the light and the lens over the work, and folding lights with a power bank function stand where they are put. Vehicle and trailer lamps sit alongside.

Bench and inspection lighting is mounted rather than carried, which changes what output is needed.
