Lighting Upgrade

Working with the portable halogen work lamp which I bought some couple of weeks ago is not that easy. The original 500W halogen tube which came along with the lamp is producing excessive light (more than 5000lm) and heat. When it's too bright, I can't see much surface defects too. In addition, the lamp was producing quite an amount of smoke and burning smell. However, those issues are the past. Today I've got myself a new replacement halogen tube - Osram Haloline 150W R7s. It delivers 2400lm of light and the heat is not too much. The amount of light being projected onto the paint surface is just sufficient to show up swirls, scratches, pinholes, pittings, dust, finger prints, etc. This is crucial when working with light color cars as you know light color paint reflects a huge amount of light. That's one of the reasons why it's harder to spot swirls on metallic silver paint job under the sun. I would highly recommend this upgrade for any portable halogen work lamp user. It costs RM13.60 and it's available at Home-Fix (1 Utama).
