I have been looking for some goods light to luminate when I detail. I`ve been getting quite a few white cars and boy is it hard to see. I do have a 500w Lamp now, but the bulb is dead and I have no clue how much it is to replace. I`m going with these 2 choices:

Craftsman 1000 watt Work Light with Tripod Stand and Portable Base from Sears @ 19.88

http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=74025-290-TQS1000
Regent Twin Portable Quartz Halogen Work Light from Lowes @ 34.97

These lights can help around the house too. Which would you choose? I`m gonna be honest and say the Lowes light looks cool
:lmfao But the Craftsman is on sale and seems like a good deal. Similar designs. Any suggestions/comments? THanks! :bigups

they look pretty much the same :dunno
it`s hard to tell... the Lowes ad doesn`t say too much

The Sears one is on sale :D

Well from looking at both sites there the one from lowes has a 5 year warranty. I think all Craftsman products carry a lifetime warranty but that might be for just hand tools I dont know but anyway either one will be sufficiant enough. My 2 pennys worth!!!!

I have the Sears ones myself. They are pretty nice quality. I think I stripped one bolt, but it was probably my massive strength rather than poor design. :D

I am pretty sure that the Craftsman Lifetime warranty is limited to hand tools. I am not 100% on this, but they will give you a hassle if it something other than a hand tool around here.

They are all pretty much the same ... I got mine at Value Home Center for about $20.00. included the 2 lights and a tripod base. It only extends to about 6 feet and sometimes I wish it was higher.
When you replace the bulbs ... and you will because they don`t seem to last too long ... Use the heavy duty ones cause they do last longer.
