Work light suggestions

[Chris]

I’ve had a cheap harbour freight work light for about a year. THe day I bought it, it broke… I opened it up, resoldered it and it worked fine till today. It droped and shattered…

What light does eric use? I think its time for an upgrade.

There was a topic I found though a google search but it just re directs to the main forum page.

Thanks guys

I recently bought a cordless 66 led shop light from walmart ( bayco brand ) I like the fact that there is no cord in my way and the led’s don’t cause ” shadows ” like other types of bulbs. came with a removable magnetic mount that is usefull. the hanging hook is not that great but I modified mine. the charge is good for ( 4 ) hours. looking to get another led but with a cord for when the cordless is being charged.

Random 2 tube CFL light from Home Depot. There is a light off the end as well, but I haven’t used it that way much. Only one hook, and it’s starting to want to pull out of the housing after 4 years, but it works.

Just put a CFL Rough Service bulb in my old school trouble light. Stays cool, not too bright in close quarters.

I use a streamn light stylus-pro pen light and a craftsman LED recharge able drop light mostly. You can get very good deals on the craftsman light on black friday, mine was under $20 for a LED rechargeable light. The stylus-pro penlight is great but they are farely pricy and run about $20-30 for a little pen light. Saber rechargeable LED drop lights by ATD are very nice, I dont own one but about everyone in the shop owns one. Stream light stingers ( about everyone in my shop own one of these as well) are also very nice, espicially the newer LED ones.
At home I have a flouresent corded drop light from harbor freight about $15-20 that is pretty good, it also has a plug in the handle so you plug a tool into it to serve as a light and ext. cord.
Just thought I would give you plenty of options with lights, these are just lights that i have personal expierence with. Good Luck!
