rcrx I would appreciate it if you would pm me with your findings, as I'm about to order the same light. A few more lumens for 11 bucks more.

I know there are alot of us who use a halogen lights to show swirls and other imperfections while we are working on our vehicles. I for one use the old trusty stand-by - The two light halogen on a tripod. I was wondering if any of you use a more portable or even a handheld light to more easily show clients the imperfections prior to and after paint correction.

In addition to the halogens I've been using a Brinkmann LED flashlight for some time. Just recently found a Brinkmann Dual Xenon light gun for $23.77 + shipping here:

Brinkmann 800-2200-0 MaxFire Dual Xenon Rechargeable Spot

They also make an LCD/Xenon model for the best of both worlds.

With that many lumens you can inspect the primer.

Or with something like this https://www.4sevens.com/product_info.php?cPath=63&products_id=321 you could probably burn the paint right off...

why polish oxidation when you can just shine a light on it....Im kidding, but 3500 lumens from a flashlight is insane

Here's what I have learned from this post. You can get a Brinkmann for $12.00-$23.77 or you can get a TK 225 @ 225 Lumens for $77.00 or get a TK11 @ 240 Lumens for $83.00 or you can get the TK40 @ 630 Lumens for $155.00 or how about the Microfire Warrior III for $538.00 and only 3,500 Lumens. Just one question for anyone that understands "lumens", just how much is too much?

jesus that microfire light for 538? it must be like a secret weapon used to blind people its probaly the same ones they use in the club and when your fu**ed up it drives you nuts when they shine it in your eyes lol

I purchased the TK10 and am very satisfied. For me it's better than a spotlight or a pair of halogens. It's plenty bright. I'm sure the TK11 is great too. But, when you start talking 500+ concentrated lumens, I suspect you may be going over the edge and it can be too bright and wash out defects (and your eyes).

For those who recently purchasing the Fenix, can you provide your thoughts on the product?

I am considering buying the flashlight as well.
