Lighting?

I've noticed many of you use separate lighting units with two flood lights on a tripod. What brands would you recommend for those and why?

 

I have a basic Craftsman dual halogen light from Sears hardware. I think they list for around $35 or so, but can be found on sale in the 20s if you hit them on a sale. I know some folks have had problems with theirs breaking (plastic parts), but mine have been holding up fairly well. If you don't have any yet, they are definitely a good investment. And they serve as a heater too in the winter!!!

 

I got mine from Costco. They work pretty well, just have to watch the fuse with 2 polishers and 2 sets of flood lamps on

 

I have the same ones as JonnyV. Picked them up for about $20 on sale.

 

:agree: 100% with everything he said, I got mine for $25 on sale I think, and they've served their purpose just fine. I find myself using them for much more then detailing too.

 

i have a tripod light with 2 haolgens and a small portable halogen light to spot marring

 

Agree with most above. I have the Craftsman light. $23 on sale, had a gift card from Christmas so it was free. And still have $14 on the card!!

 

Thanks guys! I was also looking at these..

Four Twin Tube Fluorescent Light - Lighting & Power - In Your Garage - Griot's Garage

What do you think?

 

not to mention if you plug in a an electric Pressure Washer....

 

ditto!

i have a commerical electric (red) from home depot...1200 watts..they have a green version which is even crazier that i think im gonna trade in

i also have a 500watt craftsman from sears for the spot marring and carying/holding to view different angles..

 

helps with taking pics also

 

I'd be more inclined to get a dual halogen on a stand
