Tough digging for our team tonight. Wind and rain. Shows were hard to see. Still fun to be out there.

Same here, went to grayland and dug for 1.5 hours before a friend's six year got too cold. He toughed it out pretty well though.

Got a few between the five of us and found a clam bag. Worst digging I've had in a while... Still fun to be out in the elements though.

Nice set up.
I would add the Simms Comfort Bungie though.
Flat cord and polymer hooks.
Made in Montana (of course).

The Tractor Supply store in the Aberdeen's East Mall, has a bungie product that looks very similar.

Actually I made one more modification. Drilled through the aluminum frame so that the bungee secures to the bottom of the light for even greater stability.

Gonna hunt down some of those bungees with the plastic hooks. Thanks for the tip on the local source, DW.

Our local Costco has a smaller version of your light with a two pack selling for $20. The lumen range is 250 or 500.

Do you use the full 1100 or is 500 sufficient?

I only use the 550 setting when I dig.

Curious to know how large a "spot" is illuminated by the smaller lights. Mine easily lights up a 12 ft circle.

Guess I'll make the investment and see how they work. If they don't do the job, I'll have a couple of small work lights.

Thanks

I have the smaller ones and they light things up well. The down side is they run on 4 AA batteries.

The double AA's would be a deal breaker for me.

Yeah, but I'm going to try them out. It's all they had at the moment.

Hanging on to a lantern would be a deal breaker for me....

I bought the Costco "LED Work Lights", at the Tumwater store. Instructions say on High(500 Lumens) 3 Hours and Low (250 Lumens) 6 hours.

The dark is now...Light!!!!!!!
