Working in the garage or shed and needing light to do your project means having portable lighting that will get the job done. So when the Home Depot Seeds program offered this 6000-Lumen Portable LED Work Light with Tripod made by Woods, I promptly selected it. The item was shipped shortly thereafter, and although the shipping box took a beating, the item arrived without damages.
The unit comes almost completely assembled in the box. You have the tripod base, the light base, the light unit, and the hardware package.
The tripod is basically assembled for you. On the top leg bracket which is what slides down or up, there is a tightening knob to lock the unit in position. It uses a carriage bolt with a hex head that fits into the bracket when tightening. Just make sure it is aligned and you are all set. It doesn't take much to loosen when adjusting the legs.
The legs when folded inward are inside their side supports. There are two adjustments for height with twist locking mechanisms. The top of the stand has a channel in which the floor feet of the light unit sits and is secured with a twist knob. This set up allows you to use the light in the stand or remove it and use it on the floor. The floor base simply attaches with two nuts to a carriage bolt. DO NOT over tighten these or you will collapse the base.
The light has locking teeth cogs which allow you to adjust the angle securely of the light. You can swing the light a full 90*. There is a carry handle on the top. The light switch is secured under a rubber boot on the underside of the light unit and is a push for on, push for off. The chord is 5 feet long and should be okay for any 12 gauge extension chord, however, the manufacturer recommends nothing longer than 50 feet. They also say do not allow the unit to face directly into the sun.
The light is bright. I mean bright.k 6000 Lumens. It lit my whole living room up in broad daylight. The unit comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
I am more than happy with this unit. When I need light to work, this unit will deliver. Fit and finish is good. Though the light does sit a little off level, No big deal.
I rate this item 5*s out of 5.
Thank you Woods for offering this item for me to try.
Thank you Home Depot for this offering as well.
