Seeking Efficient 1000W Lamps for Construction: LED Floodlights & Tripod Options

Hello
I deal with construction and finishing works and I need a good lamp that does not give off too much heat.
What is the best lamp to look for? I want it to be about 1000 W or two smaller. Is it worth buying LED floodlights and a tripod for them?
I am asking for advice or some specific lamps. I also want them not to be expensive.

I have the option to buy such a new lamp with an additional bulb for PLN 200. Worth it?

"Light bulb" for 200 PLN or the whole lamp It's worth it if it is in working order and the housing is undamaged ... only that it is not a construction lamp / floodlight.

All new lamp + extra new bulb. And will it pass the exam in renovation work?

I've seen these on objects and they gave a lot of light. You will probably find nothing else that meets your criteria and the light color is similar to daylight.

Worth it for the price? Can we get some LED floodlights and add or buy tripods?

If you need a lot of light and at the same time the lamp is not to get too hot, LED floodlights seem to be the best choice. LED floodlights with adjustable stands are produced. A 50 W floodlight of good quality (eg Osram Ledvance) costs about PLN 110 and roughly corresponds to the power of four 100 W bulbs. A 100 W floodlight of the same brand costs about PLN 400, so it is better to buy 2 x 50 W. There is also the V-TAC brand, apparently also good.
What are the advantages of LED floodlights?
- they consume little energy giving a lot of light compared to incandescent lamps
- they are mechanically more resistant (impacts, falls)
- have a much longer service life (tens of thousands of hours)
It is not worth buying very cheap lamps, usually they do not have the declared power of light (luminous flux), they can also lose this power much faster due to insufficient heat dissipation. The LEDs then operate at a higher temperature, which shortens their life.

Also read What decent quality LED floodlights , that's a short topic

Everything is good but LED 50W will give 5000lm and 400W metal halide will give 32000lm

Let's try to be reliable in comparisons, two LED lamps with a power of 200 W, i.e. also 400 W, will give 40,000 lm. What can speak for the lamp shown in the photo is the ratio of the light power to the price. For about PLN 200-250, there is a chance to get "only" 10,000 lm in 2 good quality LED floodlights. The author of the topic has to weigh the pros and cons for himself.

Metal halides do not like falls, knocking over, and frequent switching on and off. It has to cool down before turning it on again and, in addition, after turning it on, you have to wait a bit until it is fully lit. Rolling up the manele after work, the metal halogen housing is extremely hot - you have to wait for it to cool down.

Led floodlights do not have these drawbacks :!:

We used metal halides for some time while assembling advertisements, but too often they fell like flies, someone knocked over, someone knocked over, shone overturned to the side, etc ... And there are no such problems with LEDs.

LEDs have only one disadvantage - you have to be careful when mixing paints, they have a strongly punctured characteristic of the light spectrum, some colors disappear, others emphasize.

Can you find the spectrum characteristics (graph) of the Ledvance Floodlight somewhere?

A while ago I had the same problem as you. I was watching the 50W led - it shines dim. I bought two 500W halogen lamps + a photographic tripod, projection 270 cm. There is too much light, it gets warm, but a burned out filament costs pennies.
