Pedestal spot lights at PepBoyz
you can get dual halogen lamps mounted on a tripod at Pep Boys for $25. Seems like a good deal.
The lighting tends to be very harsh from this style of lamp, but it may be a solution for those with very poor lighting:

a good way to soften the light is to point them upward if you are in the garage and bounce the light off the ceiling, it will be more even and won't blind you if your eyes stray toward the bulbs

It is $10 more than the sale price on the unit from PepBoys but, the Craftsman unit looks to be a better quality piece. I have a 1200 watt version of the Craftsman tripod light and have been very happy with it. Just trying to throw out another option to consider

Went to Pep Boys and got a box labeled at $19.99, just sent off my $5 rebate. Hopefully I can still get the $5 rebate, that'll be sweet..

I have 3 of those Sears light sets, and they are some of the crappiest tools I've ever owned. Bulbs burn out constantly and are hard to change, the stands come apart, and the light heads don't stay tight in position. The only good thing about them is that they are cheap to replace.
I have an expensive stand from Sears that I love, however.

Hi Tom,
I have the same lights. Not as nice as the professional red colored series, but they work just fine.
The only thing I would suggest is extending the legs all the way so it doesn't tip over!
