EATON Lighting TQS1000QD Twin Stand 1000 Watt Halogen Worklight. Product Converts to a Portable 1000 Watt Worklight Yellow/Black

Got this as a "Gold Box" deal for use in my garage. I've found overhead fluorescent lights and regular bulbs often aren't bright enough when working on cars. They also can't be moved around or angled.All those problems are gone. It's like daylight now in my garage. If anything it can be too bright! Be careful not to look at them directly or get too close. Portable and adjustable in any number of ways. I was building a table in the garage and the light made life MUCH easier; I could measure everything, check it was level/plumb and screw the wood together in half the time it used to take. Build quality and packaging were a little iffy. The stand feels a bit flimsy and the box was missing a couple of bolts. I just used some metric bolts instead of sending it back or calling the manufacturer. Given the value for money and the huge difference it makes in my garage, these are small annoyances.

It gets three stars because the old truism "You get what you pay for" generally holds true. The lights work, but everything is cheaply made. The stand won't fit into the sled, so I have to be careful when I set it up. It does provide the light I need (in this case to chop firewood after I get home in the dark) so I'm not too disappointed. I just wish it was actually decent quality.

I made the mistake of buying several of these things because they looked like a good idea. It did not take long and all the lamps were dead, but before that happened I had to repair them. The plastic fittings used to hold the shaft in place do not and I used a hose clamp around the outer segment to hold it in place. These things are wobbly, parts do not fit tightly like the tripod, and out of four units they were all the same. I ended up drilling holes in the shafts for 1/4" cap screws with wing nuts to hold them and replaced all the halogen lamps. Now that everything is tight I will use them till they completely fall apart and find another big green Power Light I've had for years that works great.

This product was purchased to put in our basement after my husband ripped out the electrical, wallboard, etc. in a huge remodel. It has worked great. It provides TONS of light, is almost hot to work around. The bulbs did burn out quickly and had to be replaced. The bulbs were inexpensive and found at the hardware store. The stand is a bit wobbly, but is fine if you are careful.

I bought 2 of these sets before I saved up enough for setting up my more expensive photography gear! These are bright and blinding! Many, many ways to make adjustments and reflecting lights.I have one regret, I sold these after I bought all my camera lights and umbrellas and muslin backgrounds and so on. I really miss this set; as they have (had) many, many uses. Not just for photography but for working on my truck or lighting my CONEX where I store all my equipment. I was a dummy! if you get these for the same price as I did, don't sell them. I almost guarantee after you sell them you will wish you didn't! they are as handy as a good, well made flashlight!

Wow, these lights are really bright. I am really glad I purchased this product. I know they may be hot, but they weren't as bad as I expected. They're only too hot when you are less than a foot away and otherwise, it is tolerable. This is also the most professional-looking product that I have purchased yet. It's sturdy and it has an extra bulb. Really good.The only drawbacks are that if you want an even light, you have to take off the cages because they create a slight shadow and the center piece wiggles a little bit if you don't tighten it all the way. Otherwise, it is GREAT!!! I recommend this product.

I bought this for my husband's birthday so he could grill in the winter when it is dark. It took him over 2 hours to put it together badly. The light is very very poorly made. Parts and Pieces do not fit together. In order to install the lights, a particular screw has to be loosened. It was so tightly screwed in my husband stripped the screw. He had to get out WD-40 to complete the install.After literally battling the light for two hours, he hit the "on" switch and one of the light bulbs didn't work.My husband now has a one lighted light that is too much of a hassle to return. Why would he want to spend another two hours putting together a different one?Spend more money on something better or go a different direction.

This is VERY cheaply built. Definately not made to last. Nuts and Bolts don't stay tight. Fell apart in no time. Can't seem to locate any that are made with substantial materials like those that could be found, two years ago. Not a good buy, even if you are trying to save money. At some point, you get what you pay for. 500 watt bulbs are VERY hot and Expensive to operate. Try to find a lamp with 300 and 500 watt bulbs
