Need a new work light

[Cornelius]

been plenty of threads about lights so sorry, I got an email from mad4tools the apollo light is on a discount and I'm tempted but I think some places are still selling the wobble light, are there any other contenders I should know about? @scottie5 @Lodan think you have done light threads before any advice? Information?

Them wobble lights are excellent imo

I couldn't find the wobble ones anywhere and that was months ago, got discontinued. The Apollo is good but go for the powerful version. I bought a second one when they were half price a few months ago

I found out this evening that 1 Hitachi torch, 2 Makita torches and a plumber/friend/customer holding a torch works well

You can still get the Defender Wobble light. Found a place close to me than can have them made by Defender and it'll take 5-7 working days to get it. Fair price too.

Don't know how he's done it and nobody else can get them. I'll order another one in a few weeks.

I can't wait to see it in action I had four little portable lights on today and it wasn't enough so hopefully this will do the job nicely

I bought 2 of them apollo, cracker lights. Though haven't broke then out yet (tested them in the house with lights off and curtains closed.

 

[Cornelius]

The apollo is for peasants!

 

[Rossi46]

The Apollo is good but only half the light of the Defender. It doesn't light the ceilings up either and it's white light which is drowned out by sunlight. The Defender is yellow light so will light up a room everywhere (ceiling included) regardless of sunlight.

They pretty much do Gibbo. I thought it was expensive but they're priceless through those long dark winter days. Double up as a heater too

the one we used was the single light one. ebay about £140.
