The led worked great in capturing defects, i didnt get to do any comparisons between that and the halogen.
From what i did see is that they bring up different results. Led did a slight better catching finer scratches, while halogen picked up more marring. For taking pictures with my phone the halogen would have been better at picking up more defects
I do like that the led dont create any heat, waste less electricity and its alot more portable and easier to move then my dual halogen work lights.
Ideally switching between different light sources would be best :xyxthumbs:
