Re: DIY LED Work Light (much better than halogen!)
I've read two or three threads about work light stands similar to the one you've put together, and you've convinced me that it's worth the investment to get the LED lights.
I've been struggling with the lighting in my garage and have had to redo various things once I see the car in the sunlight. I bought an inexpensive halogen light from Harbor Freight, thinking that would help, but not only is it blinding and hot, it makes the paint look far worse than it actually appears when viewed outside in full sun.
Do you know if the stand that you're using is heavier than the one on Amazon? Just wondering how sturdy it is when raised up.

I found the dual LED lights on my Nokia icon cell phone work the best of anything I've tried for close up paint inspection....and its free...so to speak as in not having to buy a new piece of hardware.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

Re: DIY LED Work Light (much better than halogen!)
Nice write up! I made this set up a few weeks ago, but currently only have 1 PAR38 bulb.
Just for everyone: Make sure that the bulb you get is a SINGLE DIODE bulb. I could only find a PAR38 5000k single diode (the one that Zach linked) at Lowes (Utilitech). The ones at Home Depot are multi-diode.
