Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bayco SL-975 26-Watt Double-Brite Pro Grade Fluorescent Work Light with 25-Foot Cord
Customer Review: SUPERB BRIGHT TASK LIGHT
Summary: 5 Stars
Some things are just plain wonderful.
Need a light in a location that hasn't a bulb anywhere? Need a light for a room that is experiencing an electric failure? Need a super portable quick blast of illumination for picture taking?
Well THE SL-975 26 watt is the bomb for all of that and more (hate when advertisers say "and more" but I tossed it in to be cute.
It produces bright enough light to HURT with DIRECT VIEWING & it does TEMPORARILY BLIND so avert your eyes when you reach for its rocker switches.
Its lightweight.
Has two swivel hangers, one on top and one on the bottom, neither of which Bayco Products (not Bayco the diamond jewelry company) shows in the promo picture.
"Double" in its title speaks to its two sets of 13" fluorescent bulbs which you can turn on one pair at a time if you like.
The tap, the 3 prong outlet in its base is ON all the time so turning the light off has no effect on its ability to power whatever you plug into it.
HIGHLIGHT
Let it burn for hours on end, and its bulbs are cool as a cukes to touch no matter how long its on.
Its insert says it MAY ONE DAY FLICKER when you turn it on but mine has not flickered even once.
The minor downs are:
Its in a cage of course (that's what a Trouble or String light IS) and the hard plastic shell blocks light. Just twist it is all, if you need light facing in the other direction.
Its 50% light option really doesn't matter beyond a foot away from the unit. I'll be darned if I can tell the difference in how much light you get in the whole room whether you have on just one pair of bulbs or all 4. Doesn't intuitively make sense to me. My guess is the volume of light is cut so much by that black cage that it causes that effect.
The clear shield on its front side had a surprise for me. I started to buy a Coleman string light but read one review which said its metal cage was hard to pry off and sometimes had to be welllll, knocked off with a hammer. I didn't want that hassle so I bought this one thinking it looks like it has a cover which pops off easily and besides it comes WITH ITS BULBS ALREADY INSTALLED so I don't even have to get the cage off to put a bulb in. Well surprise surprise!- it comes off with a screwdriver! Two screws at its upper end hold the clear cover in place. I removed the screws. Cover didn't budge. I then poked my screwdriver handle into a deep recess in the black hood above the screw hole and Voila, the shield came right out. Once out I then see its a tip up and out motion that would have done the trick. Easy as Heck once you know that. Instructions are not clear enough on that maneuver and it doesn't mention the mystery hole I used either.
Why was I getting under the hood you ask?
Well inside behind the bulbs is a metallic instruction card on changing the bulbs. I didn't know the bulbs would remain cool and I wasn't sure whether the card was its reflector or whether it was actually paper that needed removing! Again, not mentioned in the instruction sheet. I examined it, decided it IS the reflector and put it back. I figure better to stay there where I can find it than to risk moving it for aaaany reason.
Unfortunately it comes in Black only (the 25ft version that is) and I'd like Yellow. I don't have frequent need for it and I appreciate if handled by dirty hands black is best but bold colors are easier to find around the house than black ones. One store shows an image of the 6ft corded version in yellow in the listing for this model. It is an error.
I could not locate a 14/3 cord version in 25ft length trouble lights.
