    I had to look up the specs on them but a few years ago we did a renovation on campus and looking through the electrical plans before the project started, they were calling out for 300 watt full spectrum LED grow lights.

    The room is about 12' by 22'.

    There are 18 of these lights in the room.

    Each light is 25,500 lumens. :eek:

    Some before and afters. We weren't planning on doing the doors till next year but I think the misses had other ideas when she went to town on painting the walls.
    Replaced the hardware too and it's like a whole new space

    None directly, but I've never seen one on a job site.

    Cordless is where it's at!

    I also have the smaller 7 1/4" slider. Great for smaller trim.

    Agreed. For the price of a Kobalt you'd be better off just throwing another $100 to go DeWalt or Makita. The new Bosch's are super nice but the pivot arm gets loose over time and accuracy goes to shit. Which sucks because it's got the best ergonomics of any saw I've ever used.

    I've gotten 3 days usage using the 12.0 HO battery. Pretty impressive.
