CT has these on sale until tomorrow,



Picked up one of each and used the smaller one yesterday to disassemble & clean brakes front and read with wheels pulled. Fits nicely on lift table and can be adjusted upward between forks/swingarm to perfectly illuminate work area with no glare and the light stays cool. Great value and no halogen bulb to burn out or fry the hand off of you..
 
I have a few LED flood lights that I used to use for working on the bikes, but then I got a little rechargeable one at Princess Auto a few years back and have never looked back. No cords is so nice.

I have a few milwaukee LED lights (the 18V hexagon one and a 12V stick light). They are the go to for fill light. Batteries power the lights for hours so that is never an issue. The one hiccup is there is no warning when the battery gets low, they just shut off. That's awesome when you are at the far end of the attic. I have learned to check the battery level before doing attic jobs now.

I have a 30-year old dual 500W halogen tripod work light that was overkill for my 20x20 garage - I usually only ever turned on one of the lamps at a time. I recently removed the two lamps and mounted a single CAT LED from Costco (the $40 ones with 2500 lumens). End result is pretty much like the first link, and works excellent. But this tripod is old, rusty, and hard to fold up, so I've been debating whether to replace it with a new one, or invest in the Milwaukee M12 Rocket light which works on both the M12 battery packs (already have M12 batteries and tools) as well as AC power. Pricey at around $130 when on sale (bare tool), but worth it if it last me another 30 years.
 
OP I wonder if these can also be used for lighting for a Youtube video? How long do you think the lightbulb will last, is it infinite? If it's LED it should be.

Colour temperature and CRI probably suck. Barring inexcusable design shortcuts, they should last forever. They have a lot of space to get rid of heat.
