Inspection lights for Car Detailing
What is the best inspection lighting for car detailing?

Re: Inspection lights for Car Detailing
You ask an opinion type question so here's my opinion...
For the money, versatility and convenience, it's hard to beat the Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light.
Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light
I've been using them since 2004 and besides working great for inspecting paint they're also a handy flashlight for general purpose use. They come with both a 110v plug in charger and a plug in charger for a standard cigarette lighter in your car.
There's other options out there, some need to be plugged in to a power source so that's not convenient, most cost more or the battery charge doesn't last very long.
So lots of options, lots of opinions...
Until something that works as well, cost about the same and is as versatile comes along I'll stick with the Swirl Finder Light...

Hey Mike. Where can I find a "Swirl Finder Light Holder" like that?

I have the light but I need a holder as well.

The Brinkmann also worked as emergency headlights when a certain red Jimmy had a problem. I won't mention any names. But, they are a great light that I use in conjunction with my Infratech Color Matching light. Brinkmann is portable, lightweight and gets the job done.

Do you mean while working or before working? Before working, see the other replies. While working some nice halogens are nice. you could also use a single halogen and hand hold it.

Good point Aero and a question we forgot to ask. I like to work with the garage dark and the halogen stands as the only constant on light. It has really helped me keep track of my progress as the paint is highlighted by the single light source. I find my bright overheads to wash the paint out too much but crank them up for inspection time.
