    Work Lights

    Anyone do any after hour working where you have to bring out the lights to finish up your work? I'd truly appreciate some suggestions

    There's a brand offered by an orange big box retailer that has a nice multidirectional LED for 99.99 that I keep threatening to buy 2 of so I can extend my outside hours during the winter

    Re: Work Lights

    Just curious, is there such thing as too bright? I'm wanting to build my own light stands and use led floodlights but just wondering what watt I should get.

    Re: Work Lights

    I use the Snap On LED work lights. I bought mine from Costco for around $25 but I can't seem to find them on the site. They are rated at 2000 lumens and work well to illuminate my poorly lit garage in the night.

    I am also thinkinga about the DIY posted above but these lights arent bad.

    Hope you get something that works for you

    I use the Snap On one also. I have it mounted on my cart. Works quite well. I doing detail work on some custom show cars and the guy that owners them just bought these two lights for me to use. I think when I'm done I'm going to get the Ace one for myself.

    the Ace Hardware lights have less watts and did not see lumens but what I like about them is they have the right color temp of 5000k.

    apologies I thought that was only if it was stuff that Autogeek sells. I will edit to remove the links.

    Edit: Cant edit to remove links but the DIY guide has outside links to Amazon lol
