The best LED work lights with tripod, compared.
Top pick: Al waha 210 W three-head Best value: AUTOUTLET 200 W with colour modes – Value part 9 at about £60.99, with 3000 K, 5000 K and 6500 K, a 5 m cord and 4.7 from 45 reviews. Updated October 2026.
An LED work light with tripod is a portable flood sold with a telescopic stand, for a UK garage or a room you are decorating. You judge a listing by whether the stand locks, whether the plug is a BS 1363 face on about 230 V, whether the lead is long enough, and whether the weather line includes the switch. The same listing often prints two wattages or two heights. On a construction site the Health and Safety Executive points portable equipment towards 110 V centre-tapped supplies. A 230 V domestic flood is a garage tool unless the site has accepted 230 V with the extra checks. What to check before a shortlist is in the [LED work light with tripod buying guide](/hub/workshop/led-work-light-with-tripod/sub/led-work-light-with-tripod-buying-guide). Two listings are different: the and the are rechargeable poles with a stand and about 3,000 lumens. You buy mains where a socket already exists. You buy rechargeable only when there is no power.

Question 1 of 2
Do you already have a socket?
The Al waha HAG-LUW-3D70 is a mains three-head at £71.99 claiming 20,000 lumens, 210 W, IP66, a 5 m lead, and a stand from 97 to 152 cm. It shows 4.9 from 18 reviews, and all eight UK reviews in the file were read. They call it bright for DIY in a poorly lit area, with heads that adjust independently, and easy enough to slot together. One reviewer found it cooler than the halogen lights they used to use. The same file says the variable height does not lock well and that tightening the poles is difficult. One review calls it light enough to move, and another calls it very heavy. Eighteen ratings is a small sample next to the Yofuly file at 96.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A room or a garage where 152 cm is high enough and you will test the clamps on the first evening.
Less suitable: You need a column that stays at the height you chose, or a review sample larger than 18.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used in the wet?
The bullets claim IP66 and name rain, dust and humidity. They do not say the plug is covered.
What height does the stand claim?
97 cm to 152 cm. A UK review says the poles are hard to tighten at a chosen height.
Is a carry case included?
No. The included line is the light, a power cord and a manual. A review lists feet, three heads and instructions.
The BDDFOTO DQ-F1017 is a three-head mains flood at £56.99, with 4.8 from 39 reviews and 29 UK reviews read. Those reviews call it very bright for plastering, garage DIY, garden work, and washing a car, and they accept that the case gets hot, which matches the listing warning not to stare into the lamp. A bullet prints a US standard plug and an extended cord, on a listing sold on amazon.co.uk. The title says 3 x 70 W, the specification line says 150 W and 15,000 lumens, and UK reviews mention 21,000 lumens that are not on the specification line. There is no numeric tripod height. The colour field says Yellow-uk, which does not correct the plug sentence.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know the plug on the unit in your hand is a UK 13 A face, and you want three heads for plastering.
Less suitable: A UK socket if you have to trust the printed plug sentence, or a light you will leave running for hours without checking the heat.
Specifications
Common questions
Will the plug fit a UK socket?
A bullet says the lamp is configured with a US standard plug. The voltage line says 230 V. The listing does not say BS 1363.
Can the heads come off?
The bullets say the heads detach and can be used as a handheld light, with a non-slip handle.
How high is the tripod?
The listing asks and does not print a range. It only says the metal tripod is height-adjustable.
The AUTOUTLET EFU215 is a mains flood at £60.99 claiming 19,000 lumens, 200 W, IP66, and a 5 m cord, with 4.7 from 45 reviews. It is the only mains listing in this set that prints 3000 K, 5000 K and 6500 K. Five UK reviews describe it as very bright for house renovation, a garage, and plastering or painting, easy to build on a metal fold-out frame, with the colour modes used and liked. None of those five describes a defect. The title says dual-head and a bullet says three independently tiltable heads, and the model EFU215 does not match the part number EFU216-V. Packed size 44 x 24 x 14 cm is not the working height. The set name says a 1.6 m tripod and another line says 65 in.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A garage or a decorating job where you want to drop from 6500 K to a warmer mode, and you can live with the head-count clash on the page.
Less suitable: You need the listing to say two heads or three heads and stick to it.
Specifications
Common questions
How many heads are included?
The title says dual-head. A bullet says three independently tiltable lamp heads. The listing does not settle it.
Does it have a long lead?
Yes. The title and the bullets say a 5 m power cord.
Which colour temperatures are listed?
3000 K, 5000 K and 6500 K. UK reviews mention those modes and use the light for plastering and painting.
The Yofuly 308605-EU is a mains three-head stand at £79.99 claiming 210 W, 21,000 lumens, IP66, a 5 m cable, and a tripod from 97 to 191 cm. It shows 4.5 from 96 reviews. Ten UK reviews in the file praise all three heads together, the long cable, and heads that separate and angle for a task. Assembly is called easy enough, and no electrical failure appears in those ten. One reviewer expected it to be brighter, and one called the instructions limited and still built it. The same height bullet also prints 8.2–75.2 in, which does not match 97 cm. At 5.54 kg it is the heaviest listing in the set. Voltage is not printed, so the plug face is not confirmed as a UK 13 A plug.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A garage with a socket, where you want three heads that can come off the stand and a review sample near 100.
Less suitable: A shed with no power, or a buyer who needs the height line to use one unit system.
Specifications
Common questions
How high does the tripod go?
The bullet says 97 cm to 191 cm. The same sentence also prints 8.2 in to 75.2 in, which does not match 97 cm.
How long is the cable?
5 m. UK reviews call the cable long.
Can the heads be used off the stand?
The bullets say the three heads detach, have their own switches, and can be used as handheld lamps.
The Saker LD10 is a rechargeable pole at £54.98, ranked on amazon.co.uk as a camping lantern, with 3,200 lumens claimed and a tripod from 29.5 to 73.2 inches. Fifty UK reviews in the file praise brightness for the size, a sturdy tripod, battery life on low, and the magnetic base, hook, or USB port used to charge a phone. Reviewers use it as a work light, not only a lantern. One review reads a drop in brightness as the battery voltage falling. The listing claims up to 20 hours on low and a 12,000 mAh pack, while a specification line also says two nonstandard batteries. It will not flood a garage the way the 11,000 to 30,000 lumen mains titles claim to.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A shed or a power cut, where you need a stand and a magnet more than a room-sized flood.
Less suitable: Lighting a whole garage bay from one socket for several hours.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it include a carry case?
The included line lists the light, a manual and a tripod. It does not name a case.
Can it run in rain?
The bullet rates it IPX5 and says the housing withstands rain, snow and dust. That is jets, not immersion.
How long does the battery claim to last?
The bullet says up to 20 hours on low and about 5 hours to charge. It also says two nonstandard batteries are included, against a 12,000 mAh line.
The CORESLUX twin flood at £51.99 claims 11,000 lumens and a 4 m lead, which one UK review repeats as long enough. All five UK reviews in the file are positive: brighter than expected for a garage and for cars, twin heads that aim independently, and a stand called sturdy. One reviewer found the folded size bulky in storage, and another thought it might be too strong for a small shed and still kept it. The title says 120 W as two 60 W heads, while the specification line says a 60 W maximum. There is no IP code, no height number, and the colour is printed as both 6500 K and 6000 K. Six reviews is a thin sample next to the Yofuly file at 96 and the SYLSTAR file at 215.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small garage with a socket, where a 4 m lead and two aimable heads matter more than a large review sample.
Less suitable: Outdoor rain, or a buyer who wants more than six ratings before they trust a stand.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a height printed?
The listing asks the question and does not answer it with a number. Item dimensions are 40 x 20 x 150 cm.
Is it dimmable?
The listing does not describe brightness modes. UK reviews talk about a strong fixed beam.
What is the weather rating?
No IP code is printed. One UK review assumes light rain resistance. That is not a specification line.
The SYLSTAR GZ035-OG is a rechargeable pole at £79.99 with the largest review count in the set, 4.4 from 215, and the first 50 blocks in the file are from the United Kingdom. Reviewers call it very bright for the size, from a low light up to a beam that covers a room or a garden, and they like the remote, the fold, and the 104 in stand. People use it for DIY, a path at night, fishing, and a night video. One reviewer puts full brightness at about 3 hours with a long recharge, while others call the battery excellent or only adequate, so the file does not give one runtime. The pole has sharp edges, the lock failed to hold on some units, and one arrived looking repackaged. The title says 6,000 mAh, a specification line says one C battery, and the claimed output is 3,000 lumens.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A garden, a path, or a shed with no socket, where a tall dimmable pole and a large review sample matter.
Less suitable: Flooding a garage bay for an evening of mechanical work, or a buyer who needs one printed runtime.
Specifications
Common questions
How long does the battery last?
The listing does not print hours. One UK review says about 3 hours on full brightness and a long recharge. Other UK reviews call the runtime excellent or only adequate.
What battery does the listing name?
The title says 6,000 mAh. The battery line says lithium-ion. Another line says one C battery, included.
What do reviews say about the pole?
It is praised for folding small and extending tall. Reviews also mention sharp edges, a lock that needs care, and one unit that would not stay up.
The EOTO NS-30 is a mains three-head at £79.99 claiming 30,000 lumens and IP66, with 4.4 from 21 reviews. Four UK reviews call it bright, solid, useful at angles, and good for a motorbike in a garage, with the light bar coming off for storage. One UK reviewer called it good value. A Canada review says the brackets are flimsy for construction work, and another says the lights stopped after a few hours and were not replaced. The bullet says 100 W for 30,000 lumens, and the specification line says 300 W. Height is 47–68 in in the title and 80–140 cm in a bullet, and those ranges do not match. The cord is claimed at 5.5 m.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A home garage where you want a long lead and a bar that stores off the stand, and you treat the wattage as unsettled.
Less suitable: Construction work, if you take the Canada reviews of flimsy brackets and a dead unit seriously.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the brightness adjustable?
The page asks. The bullets do not describe dimming modes. They claim 30,000 lumens at 6500 K.
Which height should you trust?
The title says 47–68 inches. A bullet says 80–140 cm. The listing prints both.
What wattage is printed?
A bullet says 100 W for the 30,000 lumen claim. The specification line says a maximum compatible wattage of 300 W.
The NATPOW TS-F4250 is a mains twin-head at £54.99, claiming 11,000 lumens and 6000 K, with no IP code, no wattage, and no height number. Six UK reviews call it very bright for painting, light to carry, and able to run one head or both. The same small file includes a mounting screw that kept spinning, so the lamp could not be secured, and glue that failed on one of the tubes. Power leads between the heads are short, so each head cannot move freely. The plug line is the Spanish phrase “Cable eléctrico”, which is not a statement that the face is a UK 13 A plug.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Indoor painting where you can return a unit if the screw will not tighten.
Less suitable: A damp floor, or a job that needs each head aimed a long way from the other.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it have a motion sensor?
The listing asks that question. Nothing in the bullets or the specification lines describes a sensor.
Is the tripod height given?
The set name is LED work light with tripod. No centimetre range is printed.
What failed in UK reviews?
One screw kept spinning and would not clamp the lamp. Glue failed on a tube. Leads between the heads were short.
The wowspeed ZB9914301 is a mains triple-head at £64.99 claiming 300 W, 30,000 lumens, IP66, and a stand from 60 to 150 cm, with a 3 m lead. It scores 4.0 from 67 reviews. The five UK reviews praise brightness and the fact that the light comes off the stand, including use under a motorhome. They also call the plastic screw caps poor and the leg brackets stiff. One UK review describes internal arcing and failure within a month. Another describes the light flashing dim and bright, and a buzzing plug, after little use. The listing says the cable switch is not waterproof, and one reviewer found the LEDs stayed dimly lit after that switch was turned off, so they unplugged it.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A dry indoor job only if you check the plug for heat or buzzing before each session and unplug it when you finish.
Less suitable: A damp floor, or a light you leave switched off at the inline switch but still plugged in.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be used outdoors?
The bullets say indoor and outdoor and claim IP66. They also say the switch on the cable is not waterproof.
What is the maximum height?
The tripod bullet says 60 cm minimum and 150 cm maximum.
Do UK reviews report electrical faults?
Yes. One describes internal arcing. Another describes a buzzing plug and a lamp that flashes dim and bright. Another says the LEDs stay dimly lit after the switch is off.
The CORESLUX Wl11000 is a mains twin-head stand at £47.49, the lowest price in this set, with 11,000 lumens claimed and IP66 only in the title. Across 17 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 3.4. Positive reviews call the spread bright enough for a patio, a garage, and evening work on a car, and some units are described as solid metal that stays put. The same UK file includes missing brackets, a box that looked previously opened, and a lamp that could not be assembled. Another buyer had only one of the two heads working. The locking nut only just holds the column, the tilt is limited, and the lights get hot. The lead is printed as 13.1 ft and as 2.5 m, so the listing does not give you one cord length.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest twin-head in the set and will check the box for both brackets before you need the light.
Less suitable: You need a stand that locks at a chosen height, or a lead length you can take from the listing.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the CORESLUX lead?
The title says 13.1 ft. A bullet says 2.5 m. Those lengths do not match, so the listing does not give one cord length.
Does the listing give a tripod height?
It says the stand is adjustable. It does not print a minimum or a maximum.
What do the UK reviews say about assembly?
Some call it bright and solid. Others report missing brackets, a head that did not work, weak fixings, and a lock that only just holds.
The Yofuly listing at £65.69 claims 21,000 lumens, IP66, three detachable heads, a 110–160 cm tripod, and a 5 m cable. The listing has no customer-review line and no review blocks, so there is no star rating to quote. The specification line says 12 V AC, while the bullets say mains powered and 210 W. Item dimensions are printed as 10 x 10 x 10 mm and the weight as 1 kg, which does not describe a tripod flood. The best-sellers rank matches the other Yofuly ASIN in the raw listing. That is what is printed, not proof they are the same product. Nothing in a review confirms the brightness, the plug face, or whether the stand locks.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A title-only comparison, where you will not buy a flood with no ratings and a voltage conflict.
Less suitable: Any real garage job until a UK review sample exists on this ASIN.
Specifications
Common questions
Is there a star rating?
The listing has no customer-review line and no review text.
What voltage does the listing print?
The specification line says 12 V AC. The bullets call it mains powered at 210 W. Both stay on the listing.
Does it include a case?
The question is on the page. The included line names only a telescopic tripod.
Shelf prices, stars and review counts are the amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison, read on 19 October 2026. No lab measured the lumen claims. The score is 0–100 from four parts. A mains flood and a rechargeable pole are scored on the job the listing claims, with a deduction when UK reviews describe a dead head, a lock that will not hold, or a plug that arcs or buzzes. The highest total is the top pick, once. The highest value part that is not that top pick is best value, once.
Stars
40%Amazon stars, up to 40. The rating divided by 5, times 40, rounded to the nearest integer, halves upward. A listing with no star line scores 0.
Review sample
25%Review count, up to 25. 200 or more reviews score 25, 80 to 199 score 20, 40 to 79 score 14, 15 to 39 score 10, 5 to 14 score 4, and no reviews score 0.
Fit for the job
25%Up to 25 points for the job the listing claims. UK reviews of a dead head, a lock that will not hold, or a plug that arcs or buzzes are deductions. A mains flood and a rechargeable pole are not the same job.
Value
10%Up to 10 points for the shelf price against a readable listing in this set. The Yofuly 210 W three-head takes the top pick at 82. The AUTOUTLET value part is 9, so it is best value. The Saker also scores 79, with a value part of 8, and takes no award.
Buy the supply, the plug and the stand before the lumen number in the title. An LED work light with tripod in this set is usually a mains multi-head flood for a garage or a room you are decorating. Two listings are rechargeable poles around 3,000 lumens. A 230 V domestic flood is not 110 V site kit. IP66 is an enclosure line, not a wet plug. The same amazon.co.uk page often prints two wattages or two heights.
An LED work light with tripod is a portable flood sold with a telescopic stand. In this set the usual form is a mains multi-head flood for a UK garage or a room you are decorating. Two listings are different: the SYLSTAR and the Saker are rechargeable poles with a stand and about 3,000 lumens. Outside this set, Osram lists a 2×20 W, 3,400 lumen tripod near £69.43. You buy mains where a socket already exists. You buy rechargeable only when there is no power.
No lab measured these claims. The EOTO prints 30,000 lumens at 100 W in a bullet and 300 W on the specification line. A higher title figure is not a test result against an 11,000 lumen twin. Do not turn lumens into lux.
IP66 is dust-tight and powerful jets on the enclosure. It is not a wet inline switch and not a wet plug. The wowspeed listing says the cable switch is not waterproof. UK reviews on that model describe arcing and a buzzing plug. If a plug buzzes, unplug it.
The BDDFOTO bullet says a US standard plug on an amazon.co.uk listing. No listing here prints the words BS 1363, and none states a 110 V site plug. Do not aim the heads at eye height. A 230 V domestic flood is not 110 V site kit.
A house light needs a BS 1363 fused plug on about 230 V. The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 specify that plug. No listing in this set prints the words BS 1363. The BDDFOTO bullet states a US standard plug on a 230 V line, so the page is not proof of a UK 13 A face. The Yofuly top pick does not print a voltage. The unreviewed Yofuly prints 12 V AC on the specification line and mains at 210 W in the bullets.
Buy mains where a socket exists. Buy rechargeable only with no power. Only the SYLSTAR and the Saker are battery lights here. The SYLSTAR title says 6,000 mAh and a specification line says one C battery. Reviews split on runtime, including about 3 hours on full brightness. The Saker claims 12,000 mAh and up to 20 hours on low, and also says two nonstandard batteries. Both claim about 3,000 lumens. They will not flood a garage the way the mains titles claim to.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You have a house socket and you want three heads that can come off the stand. The Yofuly 210 W three-head is the top pick at about £79.99, with 4.5 from 96 reviews, a 5 m cable claimed and IP66 claimed. Voltage is not printed, and the height bullet mixes centimetres with inches.
You paint or plaster and you want to drop from a cool beam to a warmer one. The AUTOUTLET is best value at about £60.99. It is the mains listing that prints 3000 K, 5000 K and 6500 K, with a 5 m cord and 4.7 from 45 reviews. The title says dual-head and a bullet says three heads.
You need a stand where there is no mains. The Saker LD10 is the rechargeable pole at about £54.98, with 4.5 from 87 reviews, a tripod from 29.5 to 73.2 in and 3,200 lumens claimed. It will not flood a garage bay the way the mains titles claim to. The SYLSTAR has the larger review sample if you want a taller pole.
The top pick is the Yofuly 210 W three-head at about £79.99. It scores 82, the highest here: 210 W claimed, a 5 m cable, three detachable heads and 4.5 from 96 reviews. The height bullet mixes centimetres and inches, and the voltage is not printed. Best value is the AUTOUTLET at about £60.99. Its value part is 9, the highest that is not the top pick: 3000 K, 5000 K and 6500 K, a 5 m cord and 4.7 from 45 reviews. The title and a bullet disagree on head count. The Saker also scores 79, with a value part of 8, so it takes no award.
AUTOUTLET 200 W with colour modes
Value part 9 at about £60.99, with 3000 K, 5000 K and 6500 K, a 5 m cord and 4.7 from 45 reviews.
