I really do not have problems with the heat issue. I just make sure that I keep it far enough away from the paint, and I avoid touching the lamp housings.
I love the dual 500 watt model! If both on at once is too much, it has a switch to turn just one on by itself.

Yep, Autopia made me get one!
Love it. Especially since I don't have a garage, and have to do my detailing curbside. But I sure don't like what it shows me about the tiny scratches in the Benz paint.

Just purchased these Craftsman Shop lights and was shocked at how much I missed under normal lighting
Now I just need to figure out how to vent the heat out of the garage from 1200 watts! Also gotta remember to put on the sun block

Yeah I agree I have a double garage which is already hot as hadees, I know these lights will really heat things up and with the humidity it worries me a little abotu streaking.

I find a combo of halogen and florecent works best, halogens don't show as much paint defects on lighter cars, especially singlestage cars.

I ended up with two of those dual light stands. 2400 Watts between the two stands/4 light heads/8 bulbs! Work great! Very warm ;-)Originally posted by AutoNova

Do you guys have any suggestions for halogen / fluorescent lights? I'm in NC too. I do have 2 painter's lamps and I think I have one of the lamps for the duel 500 watt lamps. Is 1000 watts combined the best? I'm looking for something not to expensive, but just right. nwtgy1 exactly which region of Cary?

1000 watts combined is very good. I have flourescents in my garage and often I use the halogens more

Is all I need is the $10 walmart light, or is that just the light bulb?
