Lighting for interior

[v1ru5879]

My garage being small makes interior work a bit of a chore as I can't see enough of what I'm doing due to low light so I usually have a flashlight in hand while I work. Any recommendations on some lights that would free up a hand? Was thinking about one of those under hood lights with the magnets in hopes they would be strong enough to get through the headliner or use the swiveling hooks. Specifically speaking about this light 845 Lumen Underhood Rechargeable Work Light

Or maybe even something smaller so I could see what I'm doing

I use this headlight I bought online. It came with two 18650 rechargeable batteries + charger for less than $15 bucks.

It turns this..

Into this.

Pick up some extra batteries, they’re cheap.

-rechargeable batteries/or headlamp that is rechargeable itself to save money on batteries
-dual output modes meaning low beam,high beam, concentrated, wide, etc
-comfortable headband(thicker usually means less headaches after working long hours on dirty interior.)
-lightweight

Half my work here at Autogeek is simply remembering where stuff is.... lots of stuff.... the challenge is finding and that's where Google comes in handy. I type in a few key words and my first and last name and boom!


Interior Detailing - 2 Tips and 2 Tools - SCANGRIP I-View and Tornador ZV-240 Velocity Vac Dry by Mike Phillips



SCANGRIP I-View - The perfect light for interior detailing


If you do a lot of car interior detailing, get yourself a SCANGRIP I-View

After vacuuming you can use the Tornador Air Blow Out Gun to blast out dirt and debris you couldn't reach with the vacuum.

This is another cool tool, the Tornador ZV-240 Velocity Vac Dry

Repeat this process to the front and back of both sides...

The SCANGRIP I-BEAM really works great to LIGHT UP your work area!

That carpet is clean enough to eat off of! But don't! I don't want you to get any crumbs on that carpet - I did just clean it after all...

Your new favorite interior cleaning tool....

The SCANGRIP I-BEAM even works great to light up the trunk!


Ambient light from the overhead florescent lights....

Light from the SCANGRIP I-BEAM!

The Tornador ZV-240 Velocity Vac Dry cleans like a son-of-a-gun...

After you use the SCANGRIP I-View ONE TIME - you'll never clean another car interior without it.

Looks like that Scangrip headlamp has been discontinued...

There's a new version but it's currently not in stock.

SCANGRIP I-Match II

 

[DBAILEY]

Geez, $90 for a headlamp!?

 

[mk9750]

It's listed on Jeff Bezzo's site. But the Scangrip I has multiple prices from ~$65 to ~ $110. The $65 version is not in stock.

I'd rather buy it here. For $65.00, I would consider it.

Not sure what the II version provides in the way of upgrade, but at $90.00, it seems tough to justify.

My opinion. Your mileage may vary.

I use one simliar to Eldo's. Picked it up at Lowes for around $35 IIRC. 3 AAA Batteries and several power levels with the same type of zoom capability. I use rechargeable and they last 8+ hours on the second brightest level which is plenty bright too.

I purchased "The claw" last year. Once used it once so I can't really tell you how go it is, but it worked well when I used it.
