Great light packed with a punch!, April 15, 2008
By denlin from Meridian, MS

"If you need a bright light for just about any purpose, I highly recommend this one. The low price is an added reason to try this work light for your lighting needs. I use mine outside on a tree to light a large area where I have livestock. It is amazing how much light this one light produces. Just what I needed! The light is easy to use and even has extra bulbs stored in the frame tube! These folks thought of everything. Great product! I will be purchasing more of these as my need for lighting in others areas grows."

500 Watt Protable Halogen Light, April 14, 2008
By Littlegeist from Waterloo, IA

"This light is a great buy! I have used it multiple times and it throws plenty of light. The adjustments are a little flimsy but once you have it set where you want the light to be, it will not move on you. It is easy to assemble and comes with a handy backup bulb!"

small but bright, January 21, 2008
By starfleetengineer from Indiana

"In small areas this is the best light for it's size. It will light up your hole area. And if it's cold ware you are working it will help you warm up."

work light, January 21, 2008
By GESJ from Hinesville, Ga.

"light is great easy to use, has a tendency to get very hot ( keep away from combustibles) but that is inherent with this type of light no problem with the working. is very durable, easy to store, light , great for floor or hanging from rack or ceiling. I use it mainly for refinishing furniture making sure no runs occur, or that sanding and or plaining marks are completely removed or evened out."

Great light, January 17, 2008
By KMR1 from PA

"This is a great light for the price. It's easily moved to any work area and throws off a very bright light. The only downfall is that it gets very hot to touch."

Excellet Performance, January 14, 2008
By TimothyJ from LaGrangeville, NY

"I used 14 of these as part of a Christmas light display. They performed flawlessly, often in adverse weather conditions (rain/snow/sleet). Not a single issue and not a single bulb failed. I will be adding another 12 or so to next year's display."

Turns night to day, October 15, 2007
By 1LabLover from Oklahoma City,OK

"I own several of these lights and have used them for years. I know of nothing for the price that provides better light for serious work at night. They are even better when used with the telescopic stands that are designed for them. They are perfect for the home owner and the professional that need light to work at night."

Northern Industrial 500W Portable HalogenWorklight, March 12, 2007
By sharp1e from Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567

"This item is really a very nice piece of hardware. It's built well, does it's job with "terrific" illumination, and, in addition, with its practical frame adjustments, excellent lamp "safety" screen, extra Halogen 500W Replacement Bulb (which is enclosed in its own protective case that's affixed to the base of the frame), and. finally, not to mention, a thoroughly irresistible price, what else can I say? I bought two!"

A very Nice, Bright Worklight, March 7, 2007
By RonDT from Virginia

"This is a great worklight. I use it for working on my cars and trucks, especially when I am working underneath the car. Here the light is especially useful, because it is very bright so I do not have to keep moving it. Even thought the light is very bright, it does not throw a lot of heat as long as you are at least a few inches from it.

The light is well-constructed, and it is easy to change the bulbs. There is a compartment on the base of the worklight for a spare bulb, which I really, really appreciate for its convenience.

The only thing I wish it had is a switch. You have to plug and unplug the light from the wall socket in order to turn it on and off. It would be nice if there were a switch on the unit or on the power cable so I would not have to unplug it every time to turn it off. I would pay extra for such a feature.

But all in all this is a great light, and I definitely recommend it."
