    hello all DB pros n enthusiast

    I have a husky halogen 1200w light and jus sold my brinkmann Light. I need some help on some really good light, cause I detail a Mazda Miata last week and after bringing it out to sun-light only to find I have holograms. heres my choices

    • Infratech CM5300
    • fenix tk11

    any suggestions???

    like get a cheaper fenix model n the infratech together?

    or the 3m sunlight??

    if I get fenix tk11, I pretty close to the Infratech price wise, yes it will be great to have both or all the lights I mention, but Im jus starting out n is on a budget.

    You really don't need a high power LED light to get the job done. You great swirl and marring revealing capabilities with any reasonably powerful lights that can be found online such as:

    Results for All Flashlights

    A trick to get a very well rounded swirl finder is to get a small regular halogen flashlight and attach a LED light to that to make for a dual light source spotter and will reveal the vast majority of defects for a sound pricepoint.

    I have the Fenix TK10 and love it. I also have the Sun Gun and love it but you need an extra battery as they only last around 10 minutes. Between the Fenix and Halogens, you should be ok. Remember, when looking for holograms, look near the outer edges of the light, not the center.
