As title really. Which torch would anyone recommend for checking on paintwork ( before and after machine polishing) I'm guessing LED. Just wondered if you guys could help with manufacturers and prices etc.

Looks good Gissin. Have you any experience with these ?

yeah it's the one I own hence the recommendation

 

for the car and the focus beam really shows everything up - also used It mountain climbing and its resisted some long falls - 5 year warranty with it only down side is it's not rechargeable but for the price you wouldn't get one that is  - does eat batteries on full power but even low power is pretty good.

 

the only other option is free standing halogen lights - they're very good but also get quite hot

Cool. I imagine the free standing halogen lights will be very thirsty. So will rule them out. I have just found a Maglite led AA in my drawer at work. Wonder how that will perform. If its no good, I shall go on your recommendation and purchase the ledlenser from amazon.

I have an LED Lenser too really good torch, I have the T7M https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ledlenser-T7M-Tactical-Torch-Black/dp/B00KSCG05Y/

Well. Quick update. The Maglite I found at work is **** at highlighting imperfections on my paintwork (unless there isn't any) Might try it on the wifes FR when I clean it next weekend. Then get saving for the LED Lenser.

Incandesant is bad compared to LED at highlighting the imperfections....

 

Mind you I have a new Maglite solitare..the single AAA size....in LED.... & its brighter than the old AAx2 size....
