1anonly Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I think I'm getting an 80 LED bulb work light for Christmas. It's around $45 and and by Cooper Lighting. Hopefully this will solve my issue with seeing swirls in high metallic paint jobs. Right now I use a double 500W halogen light and a 150W single halogen.

bagged00 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 thanks for the tip. ill be needing a light soon. didnt realize metallics and pearls are what made it hard to see swirls. on my green truck i can barely see the swirls, but when the street light hits it they show heavily.

1anonly Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Update on the 80 LED light. I picked mine up yesterday and tried it out. I looked at the hood of my pewter Explorer and had a hard time seeing the swirls. I know I have some in there because I can see them from the reflection of a 60W bulb in my ceiling. However, if you're looking for a handy work light for non-paint correction, it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typo Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I read the title and actually thought someone detailed a light bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1anonly Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 1anonly, do you have a link to the 80 led work light you mentioned. Searched cooper lighting but could not find anything. Thanks! Sure do. I've seen this at a Menards by me, but Sears also carries it. Normally it's $50, but Sears has it on sale on for $30. I think I'll get one just incase I don't get it for Christmas. I can always take it back if I do. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_03473950000P?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4 It's pretty neat, the light folds in half for storage. It comes with an AC and DC chargers. Then it also had a swivel hook for hanging , or you can use the two big magnets as well. EDIT - I just bought one and it's even cheaper $26.99!

InDepthAutoDetailing Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Just for overall lighting two of these instead of the smaller one made a huge difference in my garage. This is going from 13 watts to 65 watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lfy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I keep telling you guys if you want high quality leds @ reasonable price go to the hydroponic grow supply sites Atlanta hydroponics is a decent priced grow light warehouse lots of applications other then for growing pretty decent customer service, though not adams the above pic looks to be over $100 in lights, not counting the bulbs needing replaced regularly--- at that price you could get one big unit for shop apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Theres a really cool LED setup I saw at a local hardware store... but it was VERY pricey. I can't wait until LEDs become more economical, too -- gotta love COOL lighting options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The bulbs just don't last long in that style of light (I've found) I've used cheap ones and pricey ones, supposed high quality ones, and crappy ones... they all seem to have a limited life span on them just due to the operating temps.

Doug123 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Got mine at Sears with the lights and stand. Only had one failure, when I moved the light and bumped it while it was on and hot. But I guess you are using your a lot more than me, since you are doing many details... How long are the bulbs lasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
