Yeah there fine , but not the cheapest , had mine for 3 years now and not changed a bulb so maybe there worth the price .

i had these lights and found in a room with no light it was crap and was no way near bright enuf?

i have 2 dont know what there called pot lights that stand on a pod and u fill with water.there ok but not that bright more of a white sort of light.

2 large lights that are on a tripord stand .there great as u can turn them in all directions upto ceiling or point at walls etc or turn horizontal or vertical,only thing is u keep trapping fingers when moving around!!

I have about 6 smal site light.great light but they get hot they get smashed easily,and the bulbs dont last long but there cheap!!

Best to have a few different lights for different situations i think.

I use daylight it's really good & it's free & in the winter it starts running out between 3:30-4:00pm
so that means it's hometime for me ;D

I use the Thorsman Goliath Pro lights too. 110volts with the extra sockets on. They were £140 for 2 inc post and vat.

We just bought 3 of these https://www.toolbank.com/p/FPPSLTL38WL at £15 each from keyline they seem to be OK not the brightest but adequate.

Yes. They have 2 outlets on the back, plus the cable is thick so will take a heavy wattage mixing drill, or in my case, drywall sander + hoover.

You can get generic bulbs from an electrical trade shop for about £8. I got mine from Edmundson Electrical. You must get the same wattage though (55w) as different wattages have different pin spacings and they won't fit.

This is the one. Check yours is 4 pin. 55w 2D.
