What's a Good Garage Work Light (Dual Head)?

[Stephan]

Any suggestions on wattages, bulb type (Halogen, LED, etc.), Mfr, on a dual head adjustable tripod like work light.

Any additional suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have a dual head halogen with each with 500w.
Halogens are horrible in the summer time.... gets too damn hot especially if you have a small garage like I do.

I would go the LED route.

That was my first thought, plus you save a lot on electric.

I guess the color of the LED vs. the halogen is not to big a deal when looking for defects and such?

After some research, it looks like LED's can't produce near enough lumens. Maybe a 2 head with 4 individually switched 300W halogens would be a versatile option compared to 2 500W halogens.

But you know what.... the extra light is nice but i always grab my hand held for inspection when doing paint correction

the LED lights are the choice of detailers.
No heat and good white light.
Your light doesn't have to be the brightest possible, you will drowned out paint defect if it's too bright
