Inexpensive Halogen Work Light LED Conversion - LED Replacement - Convert Halogen Shop Light to LED

Convert your halogen work light to Led yourself and save a lot of money over purchasing a pre built led setup from a big box store. I go over the details of the led lights that I purchased, where I bought them, how much they cost, and why I chose these particular ones. I also cover installation, wiring considerations, work light upgrades, and information about color temperatures for workshop lighting.

This is very helpful. Thank you.

So I followed your example and just ordered a pair of 50W work lights from the same company. I was originally hoping to use 118 mm led "bayonet" style halogen bulb replacements, but those halogen housings and sockets weren't made for LEDs which need to keep cool to last any amount of time. Also, cob style bulbs are a poor design in themselves.

you could have changed you halogen with led bulbs for $10.00

Yeah, I'd be interested to see how well those work. I was thinking the wide array layout on the replacement lights would give a broader light than the narrow halogen to led bulbs. I will say that the new lights are still working beautifully and I really like how much smaller and lighter they are.

Thats if you can find a decent brand. So far all the ones I have tried burn out within 6 months.
