Before I bought 2x   Festool Syslights I did alot of researching trying to Find LED lights for site.    

All searches came back to Halogen and I HATE THEM! Always hated them and still Hate them.  

I bought a LED torch which I couldnt believe how bright it was for a single LED battery powered it did cost £300+    

So when Festool brought out Syslights I didnt hesitate in buying two!  Brilliant!  Good light in a small package.   They could be brighter but they do the job.

So I went LED mad and bought 6 Flood Lights!   4 Super bright and 2 really Bright and gotta buy another 2 more super bright!     They where expensive!  but MAN they are bright again single LED the entire garden lights up like its Day light!    

The other 2 really bright flood lights I use for work.  Thing is they are more of a light which should be attached permanently on wall.      I was thinking of making a frame for them like Halogens have or buy a cheap halogen and use the frame for it!  

Well time has moved on fast and looks like finally we are getting more LED lights for site use!

Not sure how much brighter they are compared to Festool Syslites but be nice to know if they are or not.    They look like they carry the same LEDs my Flood lights have and if so they are definitely brighter than Festool LED lights.    Plus they are cordless aswell with a nice handy frame around them.

It looks as if you can get the same lights globally and if you want them easy to wall mount DX.com has those too
http://dx.com/c/home-garden-1099/lightings-1045/led-light-bulbs-1072?pageSize=200&sort=price&sortType=desc&page=1. It's a company I have used often. The more expensive stuff is very good quality but some of the cheap stuff is not worth the money.

I was looking at getting some extension cords from these guys and came across these two lights.

Mediocre light, the light is rather weak for such a power, the color rendering is so-so.
