Drat, I Don`t have a garage, Need a good swirl exposing hand light...

[mystickid]

Guys,



I`m not as fortunate as many of you guys that have a garage to detail under. So i can`t have the big 1500W set up lamps to see the defects.



Do you guys recommend and hand lamps, flashlights or the like that are pretty effective in exposing swirls.



I recall back when i was first exploring detailing, my freind and i used a regular Incandesecnt bulb and that was pretty good at showing swirls. So i`m thinking Incandansescent light is better at exposing swirls than vs. LED bulbs or fcoused beams of light.



Any thoughts and reccomendations most welcome.

You can get yourself a Brinkman Dual Xenon light. Its great and portable for helping you find swirls.

Neat.Thanx.



Do you think it would show me swirls under the shade of a tree on a moderately sunny day?



Do you know if its OTC at any stores.



Is there a good site to get it at?



Thanx a bunch!

Welcome to my world :( I wish I knew answer to your question as I would then know answer to mine :(

Man I just like the sun - I`ve never found artificial lighting that I was truly happy with. The Brinkmann is decent, but if you`re working during the day, I`d just pull it out of the shade frequently.

Awwwww. I was garageless for a time and know how it feels. But nowadays the love of my life has a home to call it`s own :)



Like Pat said the brinkman dual xenon is a great hand held light. Spots every flaw and defect in my jet black paint. Wasn`t too helpful on silver though.

If you can`t see swirls in full sunlight it`s very simple... you don`t have swirls! :clap:

Full sunlight or full sun?

Full sunlight or full sun?

I`m confused... is there a difference? Typically, paint viewed in direct sunlight shows the most defects in my experience. No artificial light can reproduce that much illumination.

Yup. I got one myself, and use it all the time. Great flashlight too!
