LED on Small stand?

hi

Found that while working inside my flourscent or led lantern style lights are great.

But when working outside at night , it didn't cut it,

what I need is a battery powered light on a small (1ft?) stand that can be pointed on a wall thats 10x10 and light it good enough to do some simple work...

need a few recomendations


thanks

Take a look at this: Nitecore EZAA combined with this miniature tripod. You can attach the light to the mini tripod and aim it all around.

I was at Walmart the other day and they have a big Stanley display for Christmas with a 2-pack of their tripod lights for less than $20, it think it was $14.99. While you probably don't need 2 of them, it's cheaper than they used to sell 1 for.

If you need a light to light up a wall and you need to do work on that wall, placing a flood light on a 1ft stand will create shadows... it might be a better idea to place a floodlight above your head and work on the wall. You will still have shadows but it won't be in the way as much as you would have with a stand on the floor.

Cant't really recommend a light for you since I don't know what you are really looking for (size, flood or spot, costs, running costs, battery type etc. etc.)

Headlamp? A zebralight would give you the kind of light you want to be able to work at night

Just an idea something like this maybe.

Been there done that. What you need is one or two camera tripods (cheap is good) and one or two 200 OTF lumens floody lights. Floody at least semi floody - No throwers! I would also strongly suggest a headlamp or two in addition.

The flashlights should have a clip. One cell lights will only be good for 1/2 hour. Two cell CR123 or a 18650 should last two to three hours. Have spare CR123 primaries.

If you don't make a habit of this, you could get by with one good light and one headlamp.

Attaching lights to tripod: Put a playing card or index card cut to the size of the tripod head on the tripod. Then wrap Duck around the tripod head two times. Now since the playing card is not sticking to the tripod you can slip the clip of the light under the playing card and the Duck tape will keep it secure when you move the light around. If you alreay have lights without a clip - you can just tape it to the tripod or use velcro or rubber bands etc. If you have a couple of those DX disc shaped super magnets you can probably find a place on the tripod head they will stick to, and most lights with batteries in them will also stick like glue to the super magnets.

To light up a 10' x 10' wall the lights will need to be placed about 10 feet away. The headlamp will cancel out the shadows where you are looking. If your working with someone else don't look them in the eye.

Because of neighbors and regulations I couldn't use a generator. I finally ran 400 feet home made heavy duty extension cord so I could have some lamps and a fan.
