    underhood light for interior

    Hello there, I am wondering if any of you use a underhood light inside the car so you can see better? Do you prefer LED or fluorescent and cordless or cord?

    Or if you have another way to light up the interior please let me know.

    Thanks

    Re: underhood light for interior

    I realllly try to do any interior cleaning outdoors. Natural light just can't be beat.

    BUT, there sure isn't any reason to not use a 'trouble light.' I'd look at the NON-incandescent types (light bulbs just generate to much heat).

    Re: underhood light for interior

    I agree, natural light is best but when that is not an option....

    the shop I rent is rather dark and I hate cleaning a vehicle and then pulling it out in the light and seeing spots that need more work.

    I like underhood lights but have never used a cordless one. And I am wondering if LED would give better light than fluorescent? I think LED might be a little "blue"?

    Thanks
