Woods 500 Watt Portable Work Light, Yellow

This light doesn't have any bells or whistles (or even a power switch), but it does the job well. A 500W light puts out a lot of light and, importantly, a lot of heat. The stand allows you to snake the power cord around the back of the light so that the cord does not get excessively warm from the light. The plastic handle gets warm after a few hours; a metal handle would probably be untouchable. Having a power switch would be tricky because the unit gets so hot that any power switch might burn you when you press on it to turn it off. All in all, it's a well-thought-out design for a simple device. You can tilt the light up or down somewhat. It's easy to replace the lightbulb with a screwdriver and a pair of latex gloves (making sure the lamp is cold!). The bulb that came with this light lasted about 45 hours for me.

Easy to assemble. Great light source and

Don’t waste your money. Needed more light for spray painting window frames in my living room. I have 2 snap on led lights (no longer available on Amazon) and an old 500 halogen that finally died. The original halogen lasted years.I bought this new one, put it together and mounted it on my stand. No on/off switch, so direct plug only. Turned it on and yay, great lighting. Got to sanding my window trim and 5 minutes later POP, the glass cover shattered as shown in the photo.You do not want this light, very dissatisfied.

Puts out a lot of heat. Worked great for what I needed it for.

Bought 6 of these aas "stocking stuffers" for the men. They were greatly appreciated

To comply with Amazon Review Requirements this review must focus on the functionality of the product.In order for this product to work properly, it must have all the parts. The light arrived without a cover guard or handle. On the packaging, it says: Caution risk of burns, DO NOT OPERATE without guard, which makes this product non-functioning without the cover. The light also gets very hot, so not having the handle will also prevent the light from being used, as it is too hot to pick up. So there you have it. This light "does not function" without all of its parts. Even though the packaging had an "inspected by Amazon" sticker on the packaging, and it was taped close, parts were missing making this product inoperable. I hope this review does not get rejected again, is this IS a review of the functionality of this product.

Great

We bought 5 of these almost 2 years ago and now they need to be replaced.This really is a decent light and the price is good. The only problems are that the little black plastic handle breaks off easily in our gang boxes and the power cord starts to come loose from the little converter thingy. Once the cord comes loose, we gotta get them out of the field per code. If we just needed some around the shop, they would be great.
