very bright excellent for working around the motor home

very handy

I fly my American Flag 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, etc. This dandy light keep the flag lighted during the hours of darkness.

After reading some of the other reviews, I was expecting the worst but for my use, this is exactly what I needed. I wanted something that I could use when working on my equipment from underneath, in a service pit. My other lights would drive me out of the pit with the heat build up and if I bumped the light, the bulb was toast. Now, not to worry, I've already had my LED light fall 2 or 3 times, no problem and I can actually hang the light next to my head when I need to. My order for a second one will be made very soon.

Received mine, and all the lights work and so forth, Very light weight, and also cool in temperature! - I've wanted a garage light for a while, to work on the vehicles for body work and enhancement, and figured the high-spectrum blue color of bulbs would work well for this... After seeing the light and falls in the 65000 spectrum range, I bet these would be good for photo's of products and so forth for product pictures, considering it's a nice balanced low blue spectrum! - We have guys moving forward with photo enhancement of this light, and will update on our findings, but think these would make good photo lights, considering its overall spectrum! - Two of these, is a drop in the bucket, compared to the $2,000.000 I spent on lighting for the photo lab room, and bet these units would work better then even those, we'll see what the guys come up with, as they move forward!Thanks, Tad

So far theses lights are working as advertised. They are brighter than I was expecting them to be. even though I own several Mil-Spec/LE LED flashlights, it still amazed me. The rubber feet are soft enough that if you need to set them on your car's paint you shouldn't have to worry.. I just finished using them to light the inside of my car while I detailed it and the best part was it didn't turn into a sauna. The face of the lights do not get hot or warm evn for that matter. The side where the transformer is located does get warm, ever so slightly. But even after several hours of being on i think it would be safe to say that is to be expected and it was hardly noticeable. The on/off switch is a good touch since most shop lights seem to miss that simple concept. The adjustability is good and for now seems to stay where its put. Overall a good product. The company has several twin halogen lights on a stand/tripod if the would offer these lights with the same amount of adjustment mounted on a stand/tripod the would have had another sale.

Ordered this to hang in my basement for little extra light. Love the fact that it is angled, give a ton more light than just the standard light. Also came with an extra lightbulb and a little slot to keep it in attached right to the light so I am not loosing it. I was worried since I had never heard of the brand but it is heavy duty and easy to put together. Order it!

Assembles pretty easily and went into service right away. Does seem to be engineered to be water resistant and bash resistant. Pretty good price compared to cable fed LED lights at 10 times the light output. My previous experience with halogen bulbs has been pretty good so with the spare bulb tucked into the little tube below I can see there should be no issues with burnout.

Great light. I bought this to mount to the side of my house. I spray painted it to blend in and then used a remote switch so I could have this as a work/security light to for my yard when I want to "light it up" beyond our decorative garden type lights. The "power light" signs make it look cheap but those are removable and just held with set screws from the back. There are indentations in the front from where they rested but those look better than the signs. It is great that it comes with a spare bulb, also the design allows this to through bright light almost 180 degrees. From the back of my house to the end of my property is easily 80 yards and this works well to light up all the way to the back and then some. This light gets extremely hot being halogen so plan for it, I would say the grill/cage is more to prevent burns/fire than to protect the lenses or bulbs. After just an hour the housing is hot. I suspect the handle is wrapped in foam to prevent burns more than for comfort.

this light is a great one! just not for what I was planning on using it for. Im a drummer and I bought it for extra lighting in my drum room. I would recommend the led work light. I bought 2 from home depot, the brand is husky. back to this light...its a great one just know what youll be using it for.it does get hot but that's normal its halogen. it does give great amount of light. the light that comes out is a yellow white and not white like it is from the led one. overall great one! buy it!

Only used it for a couple days so far, but definitely satisfied. Construction seems pretty good and the light functions as expected. The increased angle that it lights up as compared to a "regular" single bulb design is pretty impressive. I had picked up a cheap regular one at Lowes while I was waiting for this to arrive, and much prefer this one now. Very useful for work in a room without having to constantly adjust your light.It does come with 3 bulbs, so you have one spare to start with (and the little tube visible on the base crosspiece is made to store it, so you always have the spare with you).Only caveat is the usual one with Halogen work lights- it does get very hot. Careful how you touch it after it's been on for a while (and you're going to want some airflow to keep a room from starting to heat up).Overall if you want a simple halogen work llight, it's hard to beat this (or its brother with different wattage). Definitely superior to any I could find in local stores.

I use this light at night when guarding sites with no lighting. It is very good for this because it is extremely bright and because it has such a broad area of coverage. Much nicer than peering into the darkness all night. It's compact size and easy portability make it easy to carry around in my Jeep. You need to understand that this light gets extremely hot. Unplug it long enough before you want to leave that it will have time to cool down. Bouncing it around while it's hot will shorten the bulb life. I recommend you order the pack of replacement bulbs when you order the light. You will need them; it's a light, you are going to go through some bulbs. Changing bulbs is fairly easy if you can operate a screwdriver. Follow the directions and do not touch the bulbs with your bare skin. Body oils on the bulb will shorten bulb life. Some assembly is required when you first get the light, but it's easily done. I am very happy with this purchase and would buy another one if I needed it. I have banged this light around for over a year going from jobsite to home and back. I have changed two bulbs. It's a great little area light.

Was a great gift, so much cooler than the old ones.

I purchased to replace my shop light that I use for automotive work. This light is a little on the small side which is good and bad. The brightness is fair to good. One bonus is that it doesn't run hot which is nice when I'm working on a hot motor during the summer. Recommend for small hobbies.

Decent light output. It is not as bright as a halogen light but it also will not burn down the construction site. It puts out next to no heat. The housing is plastic, which is more than sufficient. It is really well made. Would give it 5 starts if it put out a little more bright light. The light is a little blue, not a clean white. I also bought the L1315 a little better Less LED's but brighter than this one.

I ordered the 108-LED portable light with great anticipation. It arrived two days ago, so I tried it out. When compared with a halogen lamp it was a great disappointment. However, the description had made no such claims, and I had carelessly overlooked the fact that these are not CREE LEDs. The lamp functions exactly as advertized, and provides fair illumination for a small room (such as a bedroom). If you keep that in mind, you will be able to match this lamp to your needs.

I read all of the previous reviews on this product and did a lot of web research before I purchased this item.Got mine two days ago and have evaluated and tested it. Is it perfect for everyone?, perhaps not, but I really like it.The advertised specs seem very accurate, according to my tests.Light output rating is right at the 350 lumens, and color is right at 6,800k (cool-white). Power consumption is the stated 6-watts.So, How do you compare it to other incandescent units? I used a 350-watt, halogen work light of similar housing design that I have.I used a professional luminescence meter to make my tests. The 350-watt halogen light measured about 2,000 Lux, at a distance of 24" from the source. This unit measured 1,400 Lux at the same distance (70-percent). That's very good.Note that cool-white LED "light output per watt" range from 50-110 lumens/watt. This one is only 58 lumens/watt, so it's at the lower end of the range, but still very good value at this price point. You want higher light output efficiency, prepare to pay a higher price.Light distribution spread is about the same as my old halogen unit. Very adequate for general work area lighting. You hardly notice the slight difference in light output.After one-hour of use, the unit was still cool to the touch (room temperature), while the halogen unit would burn your skin to the touch.Yes, the light color is slightly cooler, but not too blue. The rated CRI (color rendering index) is only 69, while you want a rating of 90 or above for accurate color work, but that's no problem for general work area lighting.The unit is very ruggedly constructed and the only fault I found is that the power switch is rather small and somewhat difficult to operate. Looks like it can stand being banged around in a work truck environment with little risk of damage.I'm so pleased that I'm ordering more.

lets get to the guts of it... if you want to get a tan while working or think its fun watching your electric meter spinning like a helicopter blade, this light isnt for you. The fact that the light doesnt get hot is nice, I dont have to worry about leaving the skin of my fingers on the glass lol I bought these lights for a remodel, and currently am using them for the sheetrock phase. they give off a good clean light that shows the flaws on my project and thats all i need. Youll still feel like your indoors when using them though, but since i am indoors thats fine. Ive definitely noticed the milder temperature in the room im using the lights in. with my halogens, the house would be close to a 100 deg. by the end of the day. not these led's. yesterday i had to crawl under my mobile home and fix some sgabby plumbing and the light got drenched with no problems whatsoever not even steam off the lens. my halogens glass would have exploded. I gave it 4 stars as i nearly never give 5 and its not as bright as a halo. but the trade up in safety is worth it and its adequite light.

broken but usable.

Great little light. Very bright, covers a large area. Screws are kind of cheap and since you need to compress the gasket so much, it can be a little challenging to get the screws to set. Very happy with the product though, would definitely buy again.

Overall I like this light, had a lack of directions but overall great light, puts out a tremendous about of light, LOVE the option that I can turn one or both lights on, just a solid light. I gave it a 4 stars because of no quick release on the glass/fence to replace bulbs...I just got this though so haven't had to replace bulbs. If it is once a year no big deal.

This is one ugly tool. It also happens to light up a room really well. No more running over to turn the light to follow me around the room. Nice. Selectable switches to turn on either lamp separately and a bulb storage tube. Would buy again.

Like the title says - the tedious install is obviously only a one time thing, I suppose maybe I'm not used to purchasing things like lights that need to be put together. The instructions were clear, my brain was not however, so that might've had something to do with the situation. Took about 30 minutes total. The light works great however and although I didn't enjoy the assembly I would buy again if needed.

As for the the subject title, Just want to clarify things that manufacturer didn't disclose. Also, I couldn't see any where it's made so I guess it's made in China.Prosdecently bright work lamp...as I expected.After assembly, the lamp is very adjustable.Priced fair at around $35 with everything (tax, shipping,ect)ConsYou must assemble the grill, base, handle, and of course, install the bulbs. The grill required little force. BTW, don't look for the screws as most them are already screwed in.You have to unscrew some screws in order to assemble most of the parts. Instruction manual will NOT tell you that. Or exactly what or how many parts the package supposed to come with...Instruction was typically horrid. I built the thing just looking at the photo.Consequently I had this hollow curve metal rod that must go somewhere on the lamp, but there's no indication anywhere in the photo nor the lousy instruction manual....So I DO have a leftover part.Overall, it's a serviceable lamp, I will update this review for durability. It gets Three and a half stars from me.

i have seen brighter for less money this is the led bulb not that bright i think this is brighter (SUNZONE 10W 24 LED Portable Work Lights Flood light )

Have had other brands that work a bit better than this one.. still it is good for the price..

Worth the price not as bright as other led lights but still good white ligjtlight

thought it was bigger

I bought this to replace my old school halogen portable light. I had hopes of it becoming my "go to" portable light, since it doesn't get blistering hot like my halogen light. But it puts out nowhere near the light that the halogen unit does. I see that there is a Snap On unit available on Amazon, and I saw this same light at Costco last night. I might be giving this one a try.I wouldn't buy this one again.

I have halogen work lights that provide me with the traditional ridiculous amount of light on a work site after dark but give off a lot of heat and have some inherent danger with small children around. The LED light eliminates the danger but does give us some of the flood capability. I wish it were easier to store - that it folded up in some way that reduced the space required as well as allowed it to be hung more easily (like against a wall) and provided some kind of built-in cord storage like a cheap Velcro attachment. But it does the job of lighting a work space reasonably well.

Easy to assemble, decent light. Screws easily come apart. I had to put thread lock on the screws.

Good amount of light, instructions a little confusing. Light has adjustments, but is very low to the ground and of course gets very hot. I will look if they sell a sturdy stand I can mount this to. I should have considered an LED light instead

Assembly was a bit of a hassle, and you really gotta crank em to keep the light in place. Maybe I'll add a rubber washer or something along those lines to make the light stay in place easier.

I'm giving it as a Christmas present so I really can't say yet how it works.

Had to return due to faulty switch to turn it on, I put it together, put bulbs in plugged it in and a light turned on so I tried to turn it off but did not work the other switch worked perfectly, the item looks great and sturdy and came with extra bulb and has a compartment attached to the fame for the extra bulb, the light is super bright.

Not a bad work light. I suppose the wider angle illumination is a plus, but for about half the cost of this light I could have gotten one from Home Depot. This light gets very hot. The grill that protects the whole apparatus is sturdy, but be warne that also heats up pretty quick.

considerably less bright than the enthusiastic listing would have you believe.This was literally less bright than a good 100watt light bulb, when the ad at the time I bought it claimed it was as bright as a 300w bulb lumens-wiseSo disappointing because it would have been a great value.

only one out of 4 units I bought is still working after about a year. I called Mfr but no one is answering

I got his portable light to replace an old halogen type light that's very bright but generates so much heat I feel is dangerous to use. This light is made cheaply but more important is that it's not very bright. Mine came with a defective on/off switch so I returned it.

I should have looked more carefully at the lumen rating of this light--it is way too dim for my purposes. The stand is nice, as is the portability (although it is corded). But there just wasn't enough light. I bought a socket splitter and put a second 1000+ lumen LED A19 (regular socket) bulb in the ceiling fixture of my garage/workshop and have been much happier.

Not the quality that I expected based on reviews. After a few uses the cord came loose from the body of the light. A plastic nut inside the unit holds the cord in place. That nut came off so the cord was dangling from the back of the light. For a couple dollars more found a much better quality LED workshop light at Costco.

I bought this based on the description that it is equivalent to a 300 watt work light. When I plugged it in I was disappointed at how dim it was. It does have a nice cool white color, but for my needs it is nothing like my bright 300 watt halogen. The box states it is compared to a 175 watt. Even that is not even close. Maybe a 75 watt, no more.

typical chinese products lately,, adjustment knob bolt does not fit into groove and had to grind slightly to get it right---this is how their quality is of late--parts that don't fit or leak and they LEAVE it that way shafting the buyer! Otherwise, the light functions but even the the description is misleading--it's not double watt 500--it's double 250 watt making 500 watts------Amazon-most of the time --you do excellent policing your products----you can do better-dealing with these thieves!

Purchased the light for my father for the holidays. It functions when plugged in and is bright.The box was shipped in a larger amazon brown box, with no packaging material between the units box and the amazon box. The internal box was heavily damaged when it arrived. The unit itself is bolted to a V connector which then connects to the base. Where the main unit connects to the V connector, one side was completely ripped off, as in there is a gap and no way to affix the V connector. This makes the unit unable to use the bottom mount.To avoid hassle of having to send the entire unit back, the light will be used as hand held only, but it makes me question the durability of the entire unit. No diagrams or instructions are included in the shipment.I gave the light 2 stars as it functions as a light, though -3 for the fact that the mount was damaged upon shipment.

I have cheap Harbor freight flash lights that I got for free that put out more light than this junk. Don't waste your money you will be disappointed.

These work lights do not throw enough to light. 1 halogen work lights puts out more light hand 2 of these combined. The light pattern on the wall is only about a 4 foot by 4 foot area. Not worth it. Buy halogen.

Absolutely not comparable with 300 Watt and definitely to dark as a working lamp for painting. And even after the lamp is unpacked for a month it still smells like plastic industry and your hand smells like it after touching it.

Terrible light. I have small flash light that makes more light than this thing. Returned.

Don't expect much light from this LED. It might claim 350 lumens but that rating is highly questionable. Even in a low light environment it isn't very illuminating. Nice small package and seems to be well built. As far as I'm concerned this might be helpful only in small areas where conventional light isn't available, such as working on plumbing under the sink or something similar.Save your money and buy a $5.00 LED cap light instead.

This lamp is nearly worthless. I intend on returning it. I am used to using the similar sized "normal" halogen lights selling for $12 to $15. They actually light up a room. This light is dim, does not provide enough light to see your work. It may be cooler, and cheaper to operate...but if you need light I would suggest a different product.

Mine was defective or I never got the bulbs in correctly, it never would turn on. I've used halogen lights and changed bulbs prior, but this one just didn't turn on so I'm really not sure what the problem was. There are so many steps to putting it together and I tried several times. Even bought new lamps to put in just in case that was the problem, but they didn't work either so either I've lost my touch at changing lamps, or the unit was just ddefective. There was a reset button and I tried that too, to no good outcome.

glass broke after 1 hour of use

Stopped working in two months.

I used this product only 3 times for about 20 minutes. It stopped working for no reason the bulbs were replaced twice.

After assembling this thing and approximately 15 minutes after turning on half the light, the glass shattered and spewed everywhere. Fortunately, I was far enough away and didn't get cut. Also, the aluminum that is used to reflect the light is thin, cheap and poorly assembled and could cause sliced fingers. That being said, I regret buying it. This light has too many safety hazards and is basically dangerous.

had this item for only one year and the front glasses blew up and broke in a thousand pieces
