    I think it depends on what you're using it for. It might be fine if you're using to light up your work space but if you're using it to inspect your work or find swirls, you might want something that's at least 4200k. 4200k is your average factory hid lighting, at least here in Canada.

    A 20w, 2700k light source could,
    possibly, be good enough to use
    for detailing purposes.

    But, IMO:
    A 35W, 4700K light source could,
    possibly, provide better swirl
    finding capabilities:

    Scangrip makes good rechargeable swirl finding/color matching lights.
