Wobblelight Self-Righting Worklight
By Sean O'Hara
The Wobblelight wobbles, but it doesn’t fall down. Weeble references aside, it’s a self-righting, heavy-duty work light. Standing three feet tall with a 175-Watt metal halide bulb output of 15,000 Lumens, the Wobblelight can illuminate an area 30 - 42 feet wide.
Due to the heavy rounded base, the Wobble light can be knocked around and knocked over and still right itself without requiring your attention. The downside is that it doesn’t have a battery and must be plugged in. However, nine to twelve of them can link together in series for greater lighting.
Some price-hunting around the web will find a Wobblelight for around $150.
