Festool Syslite Duo Work Light
This AC-powered, 8000-lumen powerhouse provides a 180° beam to light up the darkest workspaces.
Festool’s Syslite Duo LED work light has an IP55 rating against dust and moisture damage and it’s built like a tank to endure the rigors of the job site. Perhaps most impressive is the tripod, which is incredibly sturdy and has adjustments for the base width and the height (it can go up to 6 ft. in the air). Unfortunately, it doesn’t include a switch, but that is the only downside to this light and it’s equally sturdy stand. Watch this Tool Tech video to see host Patrick McCombe showcase the light output.

This seems a huge amount of money. You can buy 4,500 lumen 4' LED shoplights for $35 each. Put a few of them around, hanging from the ceiling or mounted onto a 2x4 that you screw to a ceiling joist. And, the shop lights generally give area lighting. I bought two of them to hang in a basement I'm remodeling.
