1. I received the package and the box was open and one of the main screws is missing. I am not very happy.



2. I can't give a real review because it did not work .. Followed instructions but nothing would cause it to light up. I returned it for a refund. Since it was to be a gift I did not have time to order a replacement.



3. My first light arrived with no power to the socket, I returned it to the manufacturer (they paid shipping). They sent me back a damaged unit, and I complained. I was courteously provided with another unit and told to keep the damaged one for parts, but when the new unit arrived it was defective (poor assembly) and missing some minor parts. Although the 3rd unit was poorly assembled in the same manner as the 2nd, the manufacturer refused to exchange or replace it now that the 30 day period for me to seek a replacement from Amazon has passed. Although I have two lights, which both work, and a replacement bulb for the price of one light, I have yet to receive a good example of this product and my impression of Wobble Light's quality control leaves much to be desired. If you get a good one, though, it is very bright.



4. This is a great worklight. Makes day out of night in the immediate area you're working in. It would be nice if the light could be focused or directed to one area out of the box but you have to buy an additional accessory for this. It is heavy and well made. Replacement bulbs run on the spendy side ~~$40-50.Hopefully I'll get several years of use out of the one that came with the light.The handle has held up so far but seems like it could break if you pull on the assembly too hard.



5. We had to take it apart , rewire ( lightbulb wasn't connected to power sourse )

1. As a drywall contractor, portable lighting is crucial to my job. I bought one of these wobble lights to try out a few months ago. While it costs a little more than regular tripods, the light provides more light than several traditional lights and I can vouch it will last longer than any light I have ever used. To anyone that can appreciate a true work light, this is the light for you. When working on a two story home before the railings were installed, not only did this light illuminate the entire upper floor but when accidentally knocked down the stairs, the thing stayed lit and suffered no damage whatsoever. The size may be a little different but instead of carrying 3 or 4 tripods I only have to carry one wobble light which makes up for it. Not to mention any standard light would have crashed after the stair accident and had to be replaced. What a great invention.



2. I purchased two of these just after seeing it on the first run of TOH - Manchester by the Sea. It is a hit with all the other trades on the job site, as long as there are sufficient circuits available to power the other tools (500W light and a DW718).



3. This light is very durable. It seems to have been designed around protection for the bulb. On construction sites it is common for things to get banged up. This light won't fall through the floor joists in an open attic and throws light in all directions. It really doesn't get hot to the touch so there is no need to let it cool off before putting it away. The receptacle on the base is a nice added feature. I don't know what a replacement bulb costs and I don't know how long it is expected to last but mine has gotten smacked a few times and works fine. The only thing I don't think will hold up is the handle. It is plastic and seems a little flimsy. Mine has not cracked or broken but seems like the weakest part of the light. I would buy another one if I needed it.



4. This light works great in a real work environment. The plumbers and electricians drag it arround with them on the job. It gets bumped, hit, tipped over and etc. It works great, especially in an area where the light can be reflected off of the light colored interior surfaces. As a stand alone light in an area with dark surfaces it does not work as well as other work lights.



5. I have several of the wobble lights and am very happy with the product but when one of the lights stopped working, I had experienced a poor warranty and repair program.
   
   Horible customer service, great product when they work.

1. Read on my friend, this ones a good investment and has simplified an attic insulation job, and kept the lighting from becoming the one thing holding me back. Don't want to make a wrong step, you won't with this light. The electrical outlet on this light means one less cord and if all you needed was one anyway, your there. Leave the light as I did switched on and control it from the outlet. Ok, a few minute to warm up and get bright, but that's to be expected with this type of light. Met my expectations and then some...
