5 Starts isn't enough!
Ive seen these things around, but never in use, but recently I needed one (...or two, or three as it turns out!) for an interior project in which I would have the power shut off. So I tried it. Works great. Extended the mast, which locked securly, tilted the head and it lit up the work are quite nicely. It's NOT omni-directional, but spinning it around is easy. It uses the 20v high cap battery and has 3 selectable light levels (I used High only). And it sits on a VERY stabel tripod that folds back inot itself... So very cool, But ok, so they all probably do that.... Then I last night I very unexpectedly had to work outside, in VERY heavy forest fire smoke, visibility in 10's of meters, ash falling, no visible sky... (seems like Chelan to Cle Elum is on fire!)... AT NIGHT. This thing cut through the Smoke and lit up the area very well. And we only had One (1) of them. It was on high, and running continuously from about 19:00 to 01:30 and didn't die. (by the way, it will flash 3 times every couple minutes or so when you should start thinking about changing the battery, but you still have a fair amount of left time when this 'warning' sequence starts) Anyway, this is a fantastic light stand, and I highly recommend after last night!
