Work Lighting For Interior

**bswombaugh** · 09-13-2014, 06:21 PM

Anybody got any good suggestions for some type of good lighting to illuminate the interior of a vehicle while cleaning it. I typically will pull the vehicle outside in natural light as long as the weather permits.

There are however times due to weather or darkness that I need to keep the vehicle in the shop. I have good shop lighting but it just doesn`t do an adequate job on lighting the interior sufficiently to see everything that needs to be seen properly. I know that I could try a trouble light but I was wondering if anyone has a better idea that has worked well.

I`ll put my LED worklight on the opposite side of the side I am cleaning. Does create a few shadows in some spots, but it`s the best I have been able to do so far.

I use a Fenix head lamp - works great. It is a great Christmas idea.

Great idea Al. I use a cheaper head lamp and it works great. Fenix lights are awesome. I have a TK11. Talk about a swirl finder

I also use a headlamp for a lot things. I have a coast that I picked up at Lowe`s for $25 that works great. I use it while doing paint correction work also.

I use an Energizer I found at Ace Hardware. It has been a workhorse for about 2 years! I think it was around 20 dollars. I forgot the lumen output but it was the highest they had on the shelf.

A headlamp is a very versatile tool! I use it for a wide variety of task.
