I'm on the hunt for a good tripod light and came across this Milwaukee model. I can't help but feel it missed the mark by not having a removable tripod base. For reference, here's the link to it: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-4500-Lumens-ROVER-Dual-Power-Triple-Panel-Flood-Area-Light-Tool-Only-2368-20/329967178. I noticed that Flex and Ryobi both have models with removable light panels. I was actually considering the Ryobi since they seem to have nailed it, but I need something with higher lumens—I'm visually impaired and need more brightness! Here's the Ryobi link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-Hybrid-Tri-Power-Tripod-Light-Tool-Only-PCL691B/329699545.

Honestly, Milwaukee has one of the most powerful options available with their tower/tripod light. You can check out this one: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2136-20. It's on the pricier side but it definitely packs a punch. Just keep in mind it’s only 6000 lumens, which some folks might think is a bit underwhelming for those mega-bright needs!
You might want to check out the Husky tripod light from Home Depot. It's priced around $50 and works pretty well! But just a heads up, it only offers 2200 lumens, so it’s not as powerful as the Milwaukee light you mentioned, which is 4500 lumens. If you need brightness, that Milwaukee could be worth it for you!
But remember that even with the Husky, it's still a lot less lumens compared to the Milwaukee. Might be better to go big if you’re looking for serious brightness.
Ha! Only 6000? That’s cute. I’d go bigger if I could—apparently there’s one that offers 27000 lumens! Check this out: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/MXF041-1XC.
