    What are ya'll using for work lighting?

    I've always used twin halogen tower lighting but have seen a few homemade twin 4' cfl on a tower with wheels. Anyone else use something like this?

    Going to experiment with a set up similar to Richard Lin's.
    55 wat LEDs with gloss white powder coating back reflectors

    Re: What are ya'll using for work lighting?

    Here's a great thread from Autopia Forums that deals with garage lighting and task lighting. There are a few posts showing some inexpensive but effective light stands put together using photographic products and single diode LED flood bulbs. They work extremely well at showing swirls while working.

    Finally a comprehensive review of the best bulbs out there... - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum

    I built the light from the last page on that autopia thread and have been very pleased with it. I did use different bulbs however.

    Pm me if you want to know the bulbs I used.

    Re: What are ya'll using for work lighting?

    I use halogen lights, it's as close to the sun for light as you can get IMO.
    I have three of them, a twin that goes up 6', a single with a stand and a single hand held.
    I'm covered

    Oh I just bought an LED pen light, has like 3-4 bulbs, I keep it in my pocket
    I use the sun anytime it's out, it's the best of course.
