Good non-halogen work lights
What non halogen work lights do you guys recommend? Halogen gives off great light, but they get extremely hot. What portable lights do you guys recommend? I recently checked out the Milwaukee true view at the home depot display, but they are expensive. I just want a light that it's bright enough to work at night if need be, and not give of that "bluish" colored light that so many leds give.

cheap LEDs have a color cast because they are low-quality, binned as such at the factory and sold by off-brand manufacturers. If you want a good quality LED work light, it's going to cost. An alternative is to get a regular household lamp replacement bulb made with high-CRI LED elements inside, and put that in a regular old-school drop light-type fixture.

I'm buying a set of these:

10,000Lm. and they're 5000K. Sunlight is 4800K. They're not cheap though at $200.
