Inspection Lights

Inspection Lights

Inspection Lights are essential for highlighting paint defects, swirl marks, and imperfections during detailing. Designed for accuracy and clarity, these lights reveal even the finest issues in paintwork, ensuring correction and finishing can be performed to the highest standard. Ideal for both professionals and enthusiasts, they provide true colour rendering and precision illumination.

How to use an inspection light?

1. Angle the light: Instead of shining the light directly at the paint, angle it to create a 45-degree angle between the light source, the paint, and your eye
2. Scan the surface: Move the light across the surface in a systematic way to cover all areas
3. Observe the reflection: A good quality, corrected paint will reflect the light clearly

What to look for when using?

• Star pattern: A star-shaped pattern or haze indicates surface contamination like wax, compound, or dirt
• Scratches and swirls: You'll see these as distinct lines or circular patterns in the light's reflection
• Uneven finish: Any inconsistencies in the paint's surface will be highlighted by the angled light
