465 lumens LED flashlight

Hi geekers, is it a good idea to get a 465 lumens LED flaslight for paint defect inspection? Thank you in advance geekers

That is overkill to illuminate defects. The rupes light, flex light, scangrip light all range from 100-140-125 lumens

I have a thread about a walmart light that is 19$

I have a light that goes to 50 lumens - 150 lumens and 330 and the higher lumen lights are useful for looking at defects when your outside and its sunny.

In a garage with normal lighting paint correcting 100-140 lumens is the sweet spot

Thank you NextLevelDetail, but like you said high lumens is useful when your outside and sunny right, so its not gonna be overkill when checking defects under sunny day? But i’ll buy like what you bought from walmart for now, i just hope they have it here in Prince Albert Canada, thank u again for the info

Flex light is all you will need for defect inspection. Works well in daylight as well.

Single bulb is the key for me
