I was rummaging gthrough Home Depot when I came upon this light. It is a tubular style light that encases 2 42 watt flourescent lights, equal to 300 watts of incadescent lights.



It gives off a 360 degree powerful light source with very low heat, at about 1 amp.



It has an automatic on/off switch. The tube stores inside of an inner sleeve and when you pull up on the top portion the light beams on automatically....did I mention it was BRIGHT??



I have two 500 watt halogens and they produce great light but they also produce ALOT OF HEAT! This light is super cool and while kinda heavy it`s easier to carry than my two 500 watt lamps which are also on a stand. This light folds up very compact. I hope it illuminates a car nicely.



This is a pic of the light while on.

This is a pic of the how much light it puts out. I was able to open up the case and place a piece of tinfoil inside so it now gives me a nice 180 degree area of light.

It cost $60.00 at Home Depot. Great for mobile detailers
