Car Valeting by Auto Shine UK

The first of my purchases was this Telescopic Tripod 500W Site Light from Screwfix.

Telescopic Tripod 500W Site Light

After using 2 of these when i was doing some Paint Correction on a friends Vauxhall Astra T8 and It made spotting paint defects a lot easier and you weren’t bobbing and weaving up and down the cars panel all the time to check for locations of swirl marks and it is possible to do work undercover even if light is poor.
The Site Light cost me £20 delivered next day which is a great price since local building suppilers such as MKM and Travis Purkins where selling them at £28.
Theres a switch on the back of each lamp which enablews you to turn it on or off which is great if you only want one light on. Each 500w lamp swivels side to side and will also tilt up and down which is a great idea if you want to spread the light beam out
Since i’d pretty much built the lights in the living room i thought i’d try and capture how good they are.
Below is just the room illuminated by our normal light (With no flash)

Now with the Room light out and both Lights turned on

Now just one on you can see the difference near the curtain

Overall i’m really impressed with the build quality and illumination that the lights give, but thats in my living room hopefully i’ll get to try them out on Saturday.

I used the Tripod 500W Site Light on Saturday for aobut 5 hours with out any problems at all. and it was nice to be able to turn one of the lamps off and just work with the one lamp lit. These definetly where a bargin buy and i dont know how i have managed with out them. Oh and there great at warming your hands up in this cold weather.
