Alert ProReel 5030AM Retractable Cord Reel w/LED Work Light | 30' - 16/3 SJTOW Task Light Cord | 14W LED Shop Light Provides 1500 Lumens | Grounded Outlet with On/Off Handle Switch

I purchase these for my husbands birthday. He has a shop he works on cars in and he always complained because there were so many spots in the workplace he could not see well enough. I purchased two of these LED lights and one of the older type. He objected to the new ones at first but he quickly admitted they were even brighter than the old type with the incandescent bulb in them, no he has the light he need in any corner of the shop. They do cost more than the traditional drop lights but they are brighter and the bulbs will last so much longer if not abused that it was just a smart decision to go with these new ones.. but just in case I also bought one of the old type. Husband is using these at least as much as the older ones, and I'm hoping I wont have to fork over my spare bulbs as often as I used to now with these new ones added to the group.

Wow - really liked this light as a replacement for my fluorescent Snap On model. Worked great, bright light - seemed like a good choice. Then the retractor mechanism broke and now it's unusable after just a few months. Time to find a better one. Stay away from this brand.

Bought a few of these from McMaster Carr for work, was impressed with light output and like the convenience outlet in handle. Found it here on Amazon for better price. Replaced my old incandescent drop light in my garage.

It worked great, was nice and bright and convenient when working under my vehicles. Went to do a lube and oil on my truck, turned it on and the LED flashed on and went out. It's dead. I liked this light and I'm disappointed that it broke. Of course I am now over the 1 year warranty now so I am left with scrap. This is TOO expensive to be disposable!!Follow-up: since it was trash anyway I opened it up to look inside. I found 2 small silver screws loose inside. Looked like the same ones that are used to screw the circuit board down but they were still in place. Quality control is obviously non-existent!

Like most people, my garage is not the best lit or organized and the power outlet layout isn't ideal. This drop light helps with all of those factors nicely.The retractor is on-par with most I have used, and can be frustrating at times to get the light positioned perfectly on its own, but the addition of the magnet (do not put this on auto body locations without some padding or it WILL scratch your paint) and folding hook, it is a bit easier to manage.The outlet built in to the handle is great, both as an extension cord while working, as well as on its own as an easy way to have a single outlet where you need it, that goes back to its storage location when finished without much hassle. Cord reels and hand wrapping extension cords is a pain, and requires a set location for them to be stored, this cleans itself up and back into storage with a simple tug.The LED light is BRIGHT, like "dont-look-directly-at-it" bright, giving more than enough light to be able to completely and safely see whatever I need to look at, no matter what time of day. The only thing it is missing is a dimmer or 3-way switch, so it does not have to be at full brightness whenever it is on.All in all, this drop light has been great so far.

Want a SUPER bright yet super durable shop light? THIS has been great. It is truly 1300 lumens and, while it will quite literally temporarily blind you if you dare to stare into it, it's perfect for the garage/shop. The inclusion of the outlet is a perfect finishing touch, as is the magnet on the back side.

Very bright and good strong magnet as well as sturdy hook. The only thing I’d change is make the cord from reel to outlet a little longer but that’s pretty minor.

Do not drop this light, not even a little or it will stop working. I did get a second one to use while working on vehicles.
