Permission from neighbours to bury cable

Be carefull that the work light provides constant light as opposed to one that produces high frequency pulses of light that appear to the human eye as continuous light.

I would have thought that in the case of a rechargeable LED light, the LEDs would usually be run directly from the DC from the battery, wouldn't they?

Kind Regards, John

a table saw need loads off lead up space and aft space to use as in a 8ft plank ripped along its length needs over 20 ft where as with a track saw its length plus walk round space
more trying to find iff its the most practical tool for tasks required in a confined space

True, and that didn't ought to be a problem in a garage with an opening door. ... and, of course, much use of a table saw (at least, in my case) does not involve things anything like 8ft long.

For what it's worth, with the (strategically positioned!) table saw in my cellar, I can easily rip 12ft planks if I want to.

yes indeed
people often think a table saw perhaps with a sled would be the most useful and flexible
where as in fact other tools can fulfill the need better

If you run a generator I'd get a Carbon monoxide detector for your garage. We have one on the boat and the tiniest hole in the exhaust ducting was letting in dangerous gases in that kept setting the alarm off.

also worth noting a table saw will need around double the rated capacity off the saw on start up especially on cheaper saws so a saw 1400w saw can draw 2500plus on start up

As I've said, with most portable generators one has no choice but to use them outside of any building (and that includes a garage).

It obliviously depends on personal preference, practicalities (like the amount of space) and what one does but, speaking personally, I tend to use my table saw far more than any of the potential alternatives I have.

Whatever, I assume that the OP knows what he wants.

LEDs would usually be run directly from the DC from the battery, wouldn't they?

No.... because there would need to be some form of caontrol of the current allowed to flow through the LED element.

Using pulses of current that are higher than the LED element's rated continuous current but average out to be less than the LED element's rated continuous current produces a brighter light than if the LED element was supplied with the elements rated constant current.

That's all true, but it would surprise me if simple battery-operated LED lights used pulsed current, even though it could make the light appear brighter. Do you have specific knowledge that cheap LED work lights use pulsed current, or is it just speculation that they might?

i suppose my thought are a bit more involved than than that
i have a 54v dewalt table saw and a 18v dewalt slider for use outside my 12x10ft workshop
with a mains slider and table saw inside and i make mostly pine furniture and other things
so have worked out best tool best position and most practical in a confined space

Video recording of LED lights where the light appears constant to the person holding the camera but flashes errtatically when the recorded video is viewed.

 

[Tigercubrider]

I work in video and although cheap lights can flicker (led tape for example) most lights used these days for video are LED and there isn't a problem
You do get weird colour artefacts with LED stage lights v TV lighting which is generally more expensive but even Amazon sells sub £100 led lighting for video that runs off two Sony NP970 batteries or mains.

With cheap battery-operated LED lights??

Most led lights will pulse, they do not power every individual LED at the same time - they are multiplexed via multiple channels so that the appear to be on at the same time to the human eye yet they are actually strobing and a camera picks it up.

Both cheap and expensive ones will likely work like that, it lowers the current taken by them all.
