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.

This light has a nice design. But,it has cheap plastic nuts for the adjustments. It arrived with one of the black knobs broken and the plastic lever that locks the adjustable stand broke while I was assembling the light. I used it for an hour and thirty minutes and one of the bulbs blew. Don't expect much and be prepared to buy a lot of exspensive bulbs.

Great buy, looks like it will be a great help around the house.
