I've searched for and read just about every thread on lighting for detailing on these forums. I'm a bit more enlightened but still confused as to which kind of set-up I'll be needing lol.
Here's the deal. I will be working strictly from my garage, but I also live in Arizona and garages here in the summer become ovens, way too hot to work in, so I will be setting up a cooling system to keep things workable.
It looks like halogen lighting is the most popular lighting used for spotting defects in paint, but I'm not so sure I will want to use halogen because of the heat these things throw off. If I'm trying to keep my garage cool, I don't want to use lights that will create additional heat.
But on the other hand, don't think I'll need to have these on continuously while I'm working? Is setting up my lighting using mostly fluorescents a better option? How about LED's? They seem to be more expensive than the other alternatives though.
