Wobble Light


Who has one? Do you like it? The guys have broke to job lights this week. Looking for something better. Are you happy with the light output?

Re: Wobble Light


Where do you store that awkard thing?

Husky makes a nice looking floding light stand that I've been eye-balling.

Plus why is that darn light so expensive?

Re: Wobble Light


Never heard of husky?

I want area lighting. The problem with the setup I have now the light is like a flash light it shine in one direction. So I have to swivel the light around every 5 min. The wobble weams to take care of that.

I don't have one, but alot of guys do.

I have a dozen 500watt flood lights, and 250watt flood lights....and yes they suck a pile of power, get super hot and cost a fortune in bulbs....Still 100 bucks for a big awkard wobbeling light.

Re: Wobble Light


100 bucks might sound like a lot, but you'll get what you pay for. A light you don't have to screw around with. Takes a beating. If you don't do something to break the light bulb which would take a lot, you'll probably get 2-3 years of service without a fuss. Try that with a 500 watt halogen, we're lucky to get a month out of one of them. Plus they have an outlet built into them so they end up being in very convienient spots to always plug a tool or something into. They work great, well worth the money to me.

We still keep a halogen around too. Wobble light will fill with non directional light, not good for drywalling, still need a directional halogen to check the progress of mud work.

Re: Wobble Light


Excellent points Mike, but for me space is critical, if it collapsed into a 8" cube or something it would be perfect. It just looks like such an awkard bugger to store.

I've seen those popping up more and more. Everyone seems to like them. The Wobble Light.....could have picked a better name for it, sounds ghey. But I may just pick one up. I'm looking into one that can take serious abuse and wonder about the new LED lights. Cool to the touch, bright, tough, but expensive.

I have that light and I really like it. I also have a wobble light, I like it too. Best part about the wobble light is that I can kick it and beat it when I get pissed and it comes back for more, just like my old Mr. T punching bag!!!

Re: Wobble Light


I thought the price was a bargin compared to what I paid for my goliath lights. Super uber bright but easy to knock over then they break.

Re: Wobble Light


I have used the wobble light and the huskies and I like the husky better. Ended up buying a second one after I'd used the first for a day. Good light.

Re: Wobble Light


i've got the husky from HD as well.

Don't take a beating very well, but they are very bright and it's nice having light ALL around and they fold up small enough
