Default anyone own or use big work lights...

like these:

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=03473925000 - those are only 20 bucks... do they light up a lot of area? i figure 2 lights that are 1000watts should do a decent job. plan on using them for some work, mostly just basketball at night and parties out in the back yard during the summer :thumbup:

:yes: Good for detailing too.

We brought them to the abandoned house and used the generator. 1 light lit up about 2 rooms. These were only 1 lamp heads, not 2.

They get hot though. I have a burn on my arm from them.

Yea get em, I have just a single light that sits on the ground, but just clamp it to a pole or something and move it around.

They put out a lot of light, but also a lot of heat. I always try to use mine where it will get a bit of air flow and it's cramped up. :thumbup:

They're almost too bright, don't look in their direction.
