[TR] [6pack] Tripod worklight recommendation(s)?

[Bob Danielson]

Dave,
I was in Sears tonight and saw this light set up and can see how the plastic
piece could break but it could only happen through serious mis-use by the
user, The plastic latch is quite sturdy and is spring loaded with a metal
pin that engages the holes in the inner column. If you try and release the
latch WITHOUT taking the weight off of the locking pin, you could break it
but it wouldn't be easy. The warning label states that you have to relieve
the pressure on the locking pin by lifting the support before unlatching
it..........or words to that effect. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it now that
I've seen the construction and how it works.

Dave, I bought this tripod lamp with two 500w halogen lamp unit from Sears
for around $40. The system has adjustable height and the lamp unit detaches
for working in areas where the tripod cant go like under the car. It has
been perfect for my winter projects.

It puts out serious amounts of light and heat, both of which I appreciate
this year (Northern MA)

Here is the lamp in action. Apologies in advance for the wrapped URL(s).

Hello Listers! And a Happy New Year to you all from snowy (again/still)
Maine!

Does anyone have a good model of tripod worklight to recommend? Something
similar to the item shown here (but at a more affordable price) would be
good.

I  didn't care for the reviews given for the Sears model at:

All inputs appreciated!
