Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Beam brilliant light at multiple targets with the Stanley 500 Watt Worklight. Dual lights mounted on an adjustable tripod provide stable, waist-high illumination. Lightweight, the unit is easy to move from site to site. The tripod quickly removes to illuminate workbench projects. Tempered glass lenses with protective metal grills keep the light safe from bumps and drops. A rust resistant finish stands up to weather for outdoor use. The lights tilt 90 degrees to light up the ceiling or the floor. And, they rotate 270 degrees left to right for quick, one handed adjustments. Your purchase includes a 6-foot, 16 American Wire Gauge (AWG), grounded power cord.

5 stars for brightness on this light; it's like pulling your car up with the high beams on. You can see at least as clearly as with the regular room lighting on, including back in corners and behind things where the light isn't reaching directly. I also like that the top can be used without the tripod.

The tripod is where the 1 star deduction comes in. It's pretty good, but both the clamp that keeps it extended, and the pins that hold the top to the tripod are just a little less secure than I'd like. For this price I can't complain too much, though. I don't think it'll be a problem for my needs.

I set this up in the hallway so I could do some wiring, and each lamp clearly lit up a bedroom. It's also going to be nice in the attic, where I'm not planning to go often enough to install permanent lights.

I hated this product. I bought two, and I still have one wrapped up in the box because I hated it so much. The stand is utter crap. Useless. Will seek a better product. Sure, the light works, but that's it.

This product does what it says: provides a lot of light. I have, however, found the design, materials, and workmanship of the product to be a tad questionable. For example, the hardware supplied to assemble the piece stripped rather easily, with little force being applied to tighten them. The switches to turn the lights on and off are a bit temperamental, too. You have to press them "just right" in order to get them to turn on and off, otherwise you'll just keep pressing and pressing to no result.

Considering the price of this product, I'd probably still buy it again despite its flaws.
