Do they make an LED replacement? I've never seen one. The halogens are long skinny jobs.

Late to the party; Yes there are LED replacements for the tubular halogen bulbs; I got this one

$8.95 is pretty cheap way to convert a heat generator.


It was for a motion sensor halogen fixture on the corner of the house, but this bulb was too big, and didn't find out til too far past the return date. One day I had a binding lash of flight & looked at the 120VAC halogen worklight. IT FIT!!

Our local wholesaler had RAB X34 floodlight fixtures on a special efficiency rebate program. Basically $100 fixture with $100 rebate, all you paid was the sales tax. So I got a bunch of them for $6 apiece, it's the 6450 lumens model, 5000K, 64 watts. Replaces a 250W metal halide fixture. They are nominally outdoor floodlights but can be used indoors. I rigged up portable and height-adjustable stands out of 1" SCH40 PVC conduit, so my total cost is about $20 each including the light and the PVC fittings. It's a one-time deal for me, but they are being used to replace 500W halogen worklights and they are much brighter. I also have the Ryobi LED cordless worklight, which I think is 2400 lumens, it's now expensive for the output ($69) with all the other options available out there.

I also been down this road, need a couple more at 40 a piece. I used to collect and hoard the other bulbs but they finally run out and so much work. How much is a conversion?

I just picked up one of these tripod stand LED work lights from TSC. Claim 14,000 lumen. They are bright, but not sure that bright. Clearance with extra 25% off coupon today and tomorrow it came to 37.50. unfortunately, one of the light brackets was bent due to the box being crushed, but both lights work. I left them going to see how hot they get. Every time I use my old work ligjts there is a 100% chance of burning myself.

I got sick of my old old halogen light frying bulbs left and right. I decided it was time to spend a little money and finally purchase a dual head LED work light tripod. A few places sold this unit a little cheaper but I was already placing an order for a few rooms worth of renovation supplies so i attached these to my HD order to get my 0% ;)

I'm quite impressed. As I was working to rewire my entire garage for wall outlets as well as 16 4ft LED fixtures I was running only one of these work lights. I didn't even break out the 2nd one. I'm a fan of them.

If You are using an old Halogen stand. I mounted one and its much whiter light and seems a lot brighter than 1000W Halogen (2 500W at same time). I use these in portable stands to light up the shop front (40' wide). They have blown over in storms several times and work fine. Probably have over 2000 Hrs.

Highly Recommend!
