Does any one has experience with L-5300 600WATT PORT WORKLIGHT ?

I found this at

$19.95. I am tempted to buy one but wanted to know if any one of you used this before.

Looks a lot like the one I bought several years ago. The bulbs don't last long, so pick up spares. [$7 at Lowe's - about $3 at Harbor freight]

Mine has a 500w bulb in it- look into the light and I'm blind for a few minutes.

It throws a great light for highlighting spackling errors. Shine from side & it makes mole hills look like mountains.

Also works for throwing a little extra heat on a paint project.

$20 seems like an OK price- HF has a 500w for $14

a dual head on a stand for $30 I was going to have it on a jobsite 40 hours a week I wouldn't overthink it too much- it is just a light, albeit a very bright one.

I often see these types of lights on construction sites. The bulbs are not very durable. The element tends to break from vibration. I would find out how much replacement bulbs cost before purchasing this.

harbor freight has them beat, fixtures about 10 bucks bulbs about 2 bucks.....

Many other places are cheaper. On mine I always replace the 500W lamp from China with a 300W Sylvania from one of the box stores. The difference in output lumens is not all that important and the lamps last far longer.

There is junk and there is quality. Some people don't want to buy things five times.
