Good video but i have one little question. Why wasn't there a comparison of the light throw between the different globes rather than looking at the glowing globes themselves ?😁
I've got this same work light. I'm going to do this conversion as soon as I can get the bulbs BSR! I actually took these apart and used to used them as stage flood lights at a restaurant I used to DJ at. They worked great (=
Thanks a ton for this video! It was such a relief having this solution on a photoshoot. Needed just a few more lights so I improvised. The heat from the original bulbs was just too dangerous, but there is no heat at all from these! Outstanding, thanks so much! Tipbot?
No, LED use much less power so much less heat. Only problem is, it's supposed to be a LIGHT and now makes a lot less of it. You can also buy lower wattage halogen bulbs if you just want less light and have higher CRI.
If it were only that easy. The LED replacements I got were a fraction too long and I had to pull out the reflector and modify the contact placement so it would work. It's what happens when there's no quality control.
Some are 3" (78mm) and some are 4-5/8" (118mm), so measure your bulbs.

I'm going to drill a hole in a piece of aluminum sheet and bungee it to my photographic tripod for higher lighting next time. I kept wanting to use the ladder the last time.
I wouldn't really call this a shop light. I have the exact one and use it for drying paint and working under the house and outside at night and for other things that require a bright bulb. LEDs are cool and this is a good video but it kind of makes the light useless for it's intended purpose. Good video though.
as a heads up, they also make higher wattage J118 LEDs.
(so you can theoretically go brighter)
Good video but i have one little question.

I have the exact same lights. You can actually store the Halogen bulbs in a screw off cap which is part of the handle.

Amazing how I needed this information and here you are. BIG THANK YOU!

Is this work light the 6p15 model?
The heat from the halogen is great for drying paint warming etc dont know if id try led
just cool to see you doing tool type vids I'm into all kinda stuff myself I like the work space to..
good quality video. can tell care was taken to make each shot with tripods
Right, and that's why only one hand is visible in the shots.
Sweet I have a set of these lights and never use them for that reason. Thank you!
Ditto ... !
Solo quiero saber si es a 220 o 110 pliss
I appreciate the video! I'm in the same situation. Have a shop light and want to make it run cooler and cheaper. Thanks!
It is so much safer!!! You don't even need the cover and grill anymore.
I know with the halogen light the back of these work lights gets really hot, does that still happen when you change the bulbs to led?
No, LED use much less power so much less heat. Only problem is, it's supposed to be a LIGHT and now makes a lot less of it. You can also buy lower wattage halogen bulbs if you just want less light and have higher CRI.

I'm not going to lie, I kind of like the heat it generate
it's nice in the winter
haha...yep. specially during winter.
Thanks for sharing this. Very cool!
Had these and after a week the light would flicker and then if used with a dimmer with the dimmer off it would stay on
Hmm I'll have to give it a good bench test
What's the consensus Brian?
great video Brian again I. like the tool tinkering... lol Vids to
Brian, what exactly was the brand/model or item number from amazon? Thanks

Website says to replace the ballast. Have you had any problems like flickering, burn out? Thinking about buying some.
You must be looking at the wrong product instructions. Fluorescent work lights have ballasts. Halogen don't.
+Stinky Cheese is correct his advise does not stink
Good tip, Brian.
Excellent
Thx, easy fix !!

Turns it into a 100 Watt light.
