Has a great quality bright light. It is great for use in small rooms as a area light when stretching a cord for one is a hassle. also a good light for auto repair at night.

They're just used here because they provide a lot of lumens per dollar. LEDs would quadruple the cost, and Husky isn't exactly known as a pro-level brand. I've been building just such a "serious" LED utility light, and the *parts alone* have set me back $50-plus. Even in manufacturing volumes, that's still not chump change.

I like the 12v feed and supply options but using halogen seems like the "give away the printer, charge triple for the ink" kinda commodity business model.
