Bought several of these light a couple years ago and they STILL WORK!!! Unlike regular tripods which break and need constant bulb replacement, these things last. The one time cost will more than pay for the 10 tripod lights you would need to replace over the length of any project. Not only the replacement cost but the cost to replace the bulbs or fix regular tripods make this light a great deal. I highly recommend trying one and am sure you will want more.

I have used one of these for about one year. The unit does everyting that it claims to. The bulb is almost indestructiable. I have knocked, dropped it, and generallt abused it. I have changed the bulb (propriteray only) once. I love the light it gives, the recations are excelletnt.( Is that a bouy?) The only drawbacks anre that it is a bit hard to carrry, and store as it is a bit bulky. Otherwise I love it.

As a drywall contractor, portable lighting is crucial to my job. I bought one of these wobble lights to try out a few months ago. While it costs a little more than regular tripods, the light provides more light than several traditional lights and I can vouch it will last longer than any light I have ever used. To anyone that can appreciate a true work light, this is the light for you. When working on a two story home before the railings were installed, not only did this light illuminate the entire upper floor but when accidentally knocked down the stairs, the thing stayed lit and suffered no damage whatsoever. The size may be a little different but instead of carrying 3 or 4 tripods I only have to carry one wobble light which makes up for it. Not to mention any standard light would have crashed after the stair accident and had to be replaced. What a great invention.

This light works great in a real work environment. The plumbers and electricians drag it arround with them on the job. It gets bumped, hit, tipped over and etc. It works great, especially in an area where the light can be reflected off of the light colored interior surfaces. As a stand alone light in an area with dark surfaces it does not work as well as other work lights.

This light is very durable. It seems to have been designed around protection for the bulb. On construction sites it is common for things to get banged up. This light won't fall through the floor joists in an open attic and throws light in all directions. It really doesn't get hot to the touch so there is no need to let it cool off before putting it away. The receptacle on the base is a nice added feature. I don't know what a replacement bulb costs and I don't know how long it is expected to last but mine has gotten smacked a few times and works fine. The only thing I don't think will hold up is the handle. It is plastic and seems a little flimsy. Mine has not cracked or broken but seems like the weakest part of the light. I would buy another one if I needed it.

Needed something that would withstand abuse especially after spending too much on tripod type lighting that was easily damaged. This does the trick. Bright, great lighting from all sides and can take a bit of abuse. It's been walked into, rolled over, dropped and just keeps going. Yes, it's a bit more expensive and the replacement bulbs are a tad on the higher side but after four years of use, we've not had to keep buying new lights like the tripods or other alternatives. In the long run this has been one of the better buys for on-site locations. Just realize...it's bulky, big and bright.

Light works great, design is awsome.

The plug did break the first day. Have not had time to resolve with company.

Was a little suprised but that is life.

I will buy more for the Company.

I have several of the wobble lights and am very happy with the product but when one of the lights stopped working, I had experienced a poor warranty and repair program.

Horible customer service, great product when they work.

I purchased two of these just after seeing it on the first run of TOH - Manchester by the Sea. It is a hit with all the other trades on the job site, as long as there are sufficient circuits available to power the other tools (500W light and a DW718).
