I have been keeping an eye out for LED workshop lights on a stand - cheap ones. However Total Tools have a new product (in our store) on the weekend, their own brand twin halogen work lights on a telescopic tripod for $30. The halogen lights are cheap and nasty and, of course, very hot. But the telescopic stand and tandem wiring loom are pretty good and well worth the $30. I'm going to use them until the halogen bulbs go (the heat they generate is handy at the moment because its pretty cold in Melb!) and then replace them both with two of the many LED work lights available on eBay using the split wiring loom and plug. Easy fix; good result, cheap.

Sounds like a plan, all you need is leds with a good spread. I bought some $15 10W crees in HD aluminium housings, sort of water proof spotlights but with a better light spread, probably no good for close up workshop lights. Make sure you post up pics of what you finally buy, I will be very interested.
Of late I have resorted to just using a headlamp, it works into every nooks and cranny.

I bought the $30 twin halogen setup you mentioned, removed the halogen lamps and smashed them against the nearest rock, then used the stand to mount two rechargeable LED worklamps. They weren't cheap but they are awesome. Use them in the workshop, for camping and for blackouts (still common in the Perth hills). The batteries seem to last forever.

Went to my local store to get a couple of these and they were sold out and not getting any more in until after the sale
. I shopped on line through the link you provided to super cheap auto and they are delivering them free to Kalgoorlie
. Thanks.

3w leds are about equivalent to a 40w old school incandesant.
Light but not too bright......
