Tripod Work (Painters) Light Recomendations

[automobiliben]

Does anybody have a recomendation on a good Tripod style work/painters light? I had the "nicer" model from Home Depot ($75+) and the wiring totally fried itself on it. Looking for something that will last me longer than 4 years for that much money!

Just so we are all on the same page, I am talking about something like this:

The problem with Halogen lights is that they are very hot.
If wiring is the only problem you are having I would think about re-wiring with a higher grade of wire.

I still have a roll of asbestos insulated wire I use for this kind of stuff, but I am sure there is a current EPA approved substitute that won’t melt.
Look at the stuff they use inside a furnace.
