Absolutely love this thing. Breaks down and sets up easy

I just got it today. The tripod is taller and more sturdy than the hart version. The 3 lights have independent switches, so you can pick and choose which ones you want to light up. I used a watt meter and each light measured about 50 watts (150 w total) even though it was rated at 70w per light. The lights can be removed from the tripod and be used as a floor light. It appears to be brighter than the hart, but I returned it and can only just from memory. Even though the price dropped another $3 on the hart light, I'm more satisfied with the light from Amazon for the slightly extra cost.
Sure beats the Husky [homedepot.com] at more than double the price.
Inverters used for battery time tests:
Ryobi 150-Watt Power Source for ONE+ 18V Battery [homedepot.com]
Ridgid 18V Cordless 175-Watt Power Inverter [homedepot.com]
My results using inverters and batteries on this Hart light follows. Realize that battery age and condition could be a factor on time. Batteries were fully charged before time test.
Ryobi Inverter + Ryobi 4Ah HP battery = 47 minutes
Ryobi Inverter + Ryobi 6Ah HP battery = 1 hour 24 minutes
Ryobi Inverter + Ryobi 9Ah HP battery = 2 hour 10 minutes
Ridgid Inverter + Ridgid 4Ah battery = 59 minutes
Ridgid Inverter + Ridgid 6Ah Octane battery = 1 hour 32 minutes
Ridgid Inverter + Ridgid 9Ah Octane battery = 2 hour 17 minutes
Appears the Ridgid inverter is a little more efficient.
The Hart light can also be dimmed using a variac.
For me, it's a keeper.

Arrived yesterday and they're solid. Tripod is very stable if a bit doofy looking, cord is as short as expected, lights get quite warm but not what I'd consider actually hot after several hours of runtime, so if you did want to put them on the floor I think you'd be fine.
Oh, and they're plenty bright. I'd peg the color as more neutral than "cool" - doesn't register as blue to me, and if you throw on an incandescent you won't get additional brightness but everything will yellow, if you get what I'm saying. Obviously eyes and mileage vary.
Overall I'm pleased, although this should be the everyday price point rather than "clearance."
I plugged them to one of those portable batteries that have LCD screen showing usage etc. - 50w for one light, 101w for two lights. Probably not as bright as the one from Amazon that uses total 150w for 3 lights. It sure uses less electricity.
Agreed that $110 ea for the Husky version seems overly dear, but considering overall prices in the age of orangemanflation these seem quite reasonable. Or are you just sh*tposting?
Really appreciate the info - not all heroes wear capes.

I see what you are saying, they do provide lighting but for painting etc seeing minor imperfections or lines it just isn't that impressive in my personal experience compared to what modern led technically is. It is fairly cool seems like 6000k so very different to what you would see under "normal lighting" conditions. You could take the $15 led from any hardware store which screws into a light socket and it puts off the same if not more light than this, and comparing it to the 2000 lumen harbor freight lights which are $12ish on sale this is similar to two of those. Love the tripod and directional idea just not worth $50 after tax if you are looking to light up a garage or slightly larger bedroom.
