Scangrip. A little expensive, but worth every penny IMO. They have a Sunmatch model for around $100.00.

Isn`t the sunmatch a swirl finder light?
I think he is asking about clear coat readers like the deflesko for instance which I believe is the entry one for like $250 or so, unless I missed something.
Edit: nevermind he mentioned both
Allow me to return to my dark corner, haha

I have the lights from griots, which are made by maxxeon. They work very well and are much cheaper than scangrips. Griots sells the stand as well which multiple can be mounted on.

This is my setup, borrowed from this youtuber, who is on this forum. I am using different bulbs made by Phillips, which pushed me to the ~$150 mark. Works like a charm on any paint color.

You can, but they aren`t movable and are pretty unidirectional. What good does a bulb facing down do for me when I want it to point directly on the side of the car?

Check out this link on the maxxeon lights by Mary b. Very good write-up and pictures showcasing the lights abilities.

Sorta-random thoughts follow:
- Even the best Inspection Lighting will require variations in viewing and illumination distance and angle
- The darker the environment is while inspecting the better
- Decent ETGs are [ricey, and genuinely good ones are truly expensive
- If aluminum panels are a consideration, be sure to get an ETG that`ll take readings on aluminum (well, duh..but people do forget that)
- ETGs that are not user-friendly *FOR YOU* are very, *very* frustrating no matter "how good" the rest of the world thinks they are
- So don`t by one from PhaseII
Drives me nuts...
Glad you got the lighting, Phatkid77!

Good deal man. My shop has a bunch of the husky lights hung up for my main lighting then I have one on a tripod that I move about with me.

Thing will be SUPER handy when power goes out. Or camping. Ect

Justins00SS- Will the Husky lights show holograms very well?
phatkid77- Rechargeable lights *are indeed* great during power outages...as long as they`re fully charged
