Crappy Defender Work Light Upgraded

Here you see a slightly crappy Defender branded work light that recently turned up in the weeeeeeeeeeee skip. It had a non-working LED tube fitted (OEM) that I replaced but this is clearly a 360 degree work light that LED tubes just don't work with too well. Inside the larger handle end, it still had all the mounting tabs for a HF ballast & holes for extra lamp cables etc so naturally that's what I've now fitted and it's much brighter!

Cool upgrade I recently got a defender 2X500W halogen tripod and converted it to 2X35W CDM-TD

Nice, that looks pretty decent now. What colour tube did you use?
