Head light

[Red Rambler]

Curious if anybody has any suggestions for a light to use on my head while doing paint corrections. I have a set of stationary lights, but would like to purchase a quality light to use when my stationary lights are not an easy option. I’m speaking of the lights that go around your head with the elastic, the market is littered with these, but I would like a quality LED if anybody has one they could suggest. Thanks.

Have you seen the one that mounts to the polisher? Adam sells it.

Yep, I sure did. I just don’t know how well I would like it. I might give it a try if all else fails.

Just as a follow up. I purchased a coast FL75R, which is a rechargeable headlamp with 530 lumens, and has the ability to focus or to be used as a flood light. It has a lifetime warranty. I purchased this new off eBay for $60.

I personally like the scangrip I-match light. Their line of detailing lights are pretty solid and well built. They can be pricey though.

I have Coast HX5 flashlight that I use for quick inspections, and the specs on your headlamp look better, so you should be ready for swirl chasing!

Yep, my thoughts as well. I’m hoping it works out well. I already have lights on the stand and they work great however having a headlamp to focus with will only help.

Check out the company NiteCore. It’s all I use at work and they’re extremely bright. May be a bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

I believe they’re around 1000 lumens.

Maybe I did not see it, but what is the color temp of this light? Is it close to daylight?
