A while back I was asking about replacement bulbs or similar for the
halogen shop lights.  I never get more than a few hours of use of the
halogen bulbs before I have to replace them.

Last week I ordered one of these LED shop lights from Amazon and was
pleasantly surprised at how much light it put out.

I had it sitting side by side with one of my halogen lights and I would
estimate it was probably about 2/3s as bright as the halogen light.  I
don't know if my halogen was a 300 or 500 watt light but overall I was
impressed with the LED light output.

I liked it well enough that I ordered 3 more of them.  I don't know how
well they will stand up to abuse but I bet they won't be any worse than
halogen lights.

Just thought I'd pass on my observations.

Brad
