Full Review
Kobalt has a good thing going here, but overall, this LED Blue Battery-operated Stand Work Light left us wanting more…light. At 3000 lumens, you would assume that would get the job done, which it probably does in most applications. To be fair, we tested this during the day in a garage work shop with windows. So, I imagine in a nighttime application where power is cut on a job site, this tower light would really shine – pun intended. So, if you’re wondering why only 3 12 stars? That’s why. Everything else about this stand work light was extremely user friendly, and well thought out. We loved the small details – such as the utility tray to hold your Kobalt Acetate Handle Screwdriver Set, the tripod mount on the top of the lights to get great camera angles from your Go Pro Hero11 or the adjustable legs that provide up to 1-1/2-inches in height changes for uneven surfaces. This Kobalt KTL124B-03 Stand Work Light sits right in the middle of the pack, price-wise, which is usually the case for Kobalt brand tools. So, with that in mind, it’s an affordable tower light to get work done, when you need a bit more light than you already have.
