Good deal at Home Depot

I have heard that HD is clearing out some of their 1000w work lights for about $15 (regularly priced at $40 I believe). These are the dual 500w halogen lights on a stand that are very helpful for detailing, or other uses.

Just thought I'd pass along in case anyone needs to pick up a set of these lights...have not confirmed this at any HD in my area (already have a 1000w set), but thought some of you may want to be on the lookout.

Regards,

Mike

Hmmm. that's a bargain. I wonder if it's a nationwide offering...

I believe so...I had read that others in D.C. and other areas were finding them at that price. So, I'm guessing it is nationwide...at least I would hope so!

Good luck to all...hope you are able to find them. For that price, you really could barely buy replacement bulbs, much less the whole set.

Good tip. I need a new pair. Thanks.

My craftsman finally took a dump--the stand anyways a few weeks ago. I guess I will stop in HD after work this evening and check it out.

Thanks for the tip!!!

Woohoo! Thanks for the tip...I only have my weak 500w cheapo from wal-mart. No stand, and no on/off switch. But what do you expect for 7 bucks?

Edit: I just called and the guy said they didn't have it...but that there was a twin-head 1000w standing light that was on display and that he could sell it to me for 15 bucks.

Has anyone actually scored on this? I was at Home Dee-po this afternoon and got the deer-in-headlights repsonse.

CDTGaticaW201 · 10-20-06, 09:29

I scored on it...but only because they had a discontinued display set that was still lurking around. I just picked it up this evening and it beats the crap out of my 500w single light that's about 3 inches off the ground.

Thank you Autopia for furthering my addiction...my neighbors now have another reason to look at me like I'm crazy when I detail my cars.

Thanks. What was the price? can you post the SKU? Is it 2X 250W lamps or 2X 500W lamps??

CDTGaticaW201 · 10-21-06, 09:53

It's a 2x500w lamp, but it was a display model and I can't find any markings of make or model, which is a tad depressing, and it's sadly not the kind where you can take the lamps off and use them separately.

I can take a picture of it if you want though.

No, not necessary. Thanks for checking.

I got a 10% coupon in the mail yesterday. They had numerous options. I may go back and have another look.

I know Pepboi occasionally has these same lamps for around $15 - 20. I can look there, too.
