What's the best flash light to use for inspecting paint

[asalah]

I often detail my customer cars indoor, and many times at night
So I'm sure I need a good flash light for paint inspection

Any recommendations ?
Would a Brinkmann do it ?

Brinkmann is actually very good. I use it and I love it.

Brinkman Dual Xenon, not just any Brinkman.

So you think the dual Xenon is better than the LED version ?

I can see some LED versions producing 300lumens

Also would a UV spotlight be of any use ??

Sometimes an LED light can be so bright that it ovewhelms your eyes and you can't see anything. This is especially true on lighter colors where a high percentage of the light is bounced back. The dual xenon seems to have a near perfect balance of brightness, and you can select between single bulb or dual bulb illumination with it, depending on need.
