1. A method for controlling a light device, the method comprising:
receiving, through a graphical user interface of an external device, a selection of a desired runtime for a self-standing light device;
determining, with a first electronic processor of the external device, an estimated level of brightness for the self-standing light device based on a state of charge of a battery pack coupled to the self-standing light device and the desired runtime;
displaying the estimated level of brightness on the graphical user interface;
transmitting, via a first transceiver of the external device, a command to the self-standing light device to operate at the estimated level of brightness;
receiving, with a second electronic processor of the self-standing light device and via a second transceiver of the self-standing light device, the command from the external device; and
controlling, with the second electronic processor, a light of the self-standing light device to operate at the estimated level of brightness.
