my garage has horrible lighting(2 50w bulbs). I was flipping through a Sears flyer and they have these for $30. Anyone have anything similar or something they would recommend?

For 30 bucks that's not that bad. I have been looking for something like this cause I find myself working just as much at night as I do in the day.
 
I got it from Sears for $15 as a Craftsman club member when it was on sale. You have to watch out as I tripped over the power cord and it fell on the front fender of my Civic and left 3 small 1 inch dents from the plastic knob! :bawling: When it's fully extended it becomes unstable if you bump into it and I think it would be safer if you put sandbags on metal extensions on the bottom to keep it weighted down.
 
I have this one from Regent. Each head has a 250 and a 500, so you have unlimited combinations from 250 to 1500 watts. I looked for a long time, and chose this one becasue all the tubing is 2" which makes it a lot more stable than the standard ones you see all the time. The only thing I don't like about it is that the heads don't tilt down, so you have to lower it to work on the lower areas of the car. And it'll heat up a garage real well, too. :)
 
I have that exact model. Works great. Heat's up a lot, but you'd expect that with this type of light. Not to sturdy at full extension, you just have to be a little careful. Most of the time I've used it without the stand when I was painting my house. Picked it up for like $20 during a sale.
