Rob I really appreciate your videos man you do a great job... For work lighting 4700k does make sense, although, I have found through a few years of experimentation that when it comes down to comfort (not necessarily for working) I really prefer around 3500 to maybe 4000k for room lighting. Unfortunately that range seems to be the most difficult to find in stores as 2700 or 5000 is what you’ll easily find... Also, a little tip for the occasional use of those cheap/junk 500 watt halogen work lights. I’ve found that if you replace the straight bulb with a 300 watt or even 150 watt (some stores have them), they seem to perform and function MUCH better, much less heat and most of all the bulbs seem to last 10 fold in duration of life. They just don’t seem to burn out like the 500’s and they’re still PLENTY bright. Halogens still have their place for me while in colder work environments but I really need to get a couple of these 360 degree LED work lights. The benefits seem substantial. Thanks Rob and great video. 👍🏽
Which brand of power tools would you recommend overall .... dewalt, makita, Milwaukee etc Corded and cordless There are so many brands and reviews out there and it’s handy to have the one brand so all batteries fit all tools
For 7000 lumen that's not very bright. It looks like it's sending a great deal of the light straight up where it's useless, to a halo on the ceiling. Was really hoping when I saw the design of this it'd be designed with better light throw in mind.
It's perfect for working in any rooms. Most renovations require work on the ceiling, like pot light installation, new paint job etc. So a light that hits the ceiling is perfect for these reasons!
I have multiple led lights for jobsites including the festool duo. I keep finding myself going back to the old incandescent lights even with only 60 watt bulbs. I did hoard a lot of 100 watters though. Why? Because I can see with them better even though they arent as bright as led lighting. I cant explain why but, it is what it is. I dislike led lighting more and more every day.

Rob, take a look at the Husky 10,000 lumen area work light. It’s an absolute beast for $90.
Wow, am I late to this party or what! Looks like an awesome light. How did this work out? Is it still a viable option 5 years later?
Still great
@@ConcordCarpenter Thank you so much for the quick response! 👍🏻

Corded and cordless

Kevin Cunningham makita hands down I had Milwaukee didn’t work out
In 2016 you reviewed the Festool LED; which would you chose?
Great video, when will you post the Milwaukee packout review?
Hi Rob, do you know where to purchase this for $300? It looks like Amazon has them for over $500... ouch

William Smith it’s the color of the light

De Walter yes, this is a repost!
6000K is best
