    The lumen specs are close. The higher lumen output gives the Rupes a brighter appearance.

    Rupes: 140

    Scangrip: 100

    Both lights do a very good job of seeing defects.

    I`ve only had a little bit of time to play around with them. These are just teasers for now until I get a full review up comparing both. Don`t know when that will be.

    Side by side comparison of each light. The Rupes appears to have more white colored light compared to the scangrip. The kelvin rating for the scangrip is 4000k. The Rupes looks to be somewhere in between 4000K-4500K.

    Shining both lights on my bedroom wall which is white.



    In the garage with no lights on other than the lighting coming in from the garage door windows. This was around 6pm here in Southern California when I took these.



    Scangrip



    Rupes



    If I didn`t say which light was which, one could not tell the difference. Angles are a bit off but it gives an idea that both show defects very well.

    Scangrip




    Rupes


    Hmmmm well I may be wrong with my assessment then lol or my eyes may just see the brightness differently lol.
    When I get home today Ill do some comparison shots as well. I literally have no lighting in my garage right now except for the windows.

    your review is very in depth!

    Re: Looks like a good deal to me...

    I just did a quick test tonight around 10:00pm. Only my garage door opener light currently works.

    Both lights are definitely bright. I find the Rupes seems to provide a crisper image of the defects where as the scangrip somewhat drowns them out but that is only with the pictures. I think you couldn`t go wrong with either one.

    The Scangrip maybe a lower lumen, however, it`s a color matching light. The CRI is most likely higher which won`t help much with correction but color matching will be more accurate. It depends on what you do with this system. The one thing I noticed is, HIGH CRI lights make spotting light defects in metallic paints a ton easier.

    I use these lights for many things.
