Detail light
Is there a good detail light at a Home Depot or lowes that I could use for detailing?

Whatever you get, make sure it has a wide beam. This is crucial for seeing swirls. You notice those big halogens people use that are spotlights? They show everything and have a very wide beam.
Something like an led light usually doesn't show swirls very well ime.

For a portable light I use a Coast HP550 1,000 Lumen adjustable beam LED.
It's bright enough to show defects on glass - but has an adjustable beam so you can, well... Adjust it.
It was at Costco for $49.99... Then it was marked down to 20 bucks for a nano second. Online now it's about $70-$100. I have a Brinkmann LED Tuff Max as well, but it only works when it wants to. Currently it's not working and I'm too lazy to take it apart again.
To be fair, I did drop the Brinkmann - once. The Coast I've probably dropped 5x. Still works perfect.

The Brinkmann is built horribly in my experience. First one just stopped working, now number two has already quit. I've given up on it. Single Diode LED Flashlight and halogens are the way to go.
