Lampade da ispezione

(2 prodotti)
Paint inspection lights make swirls, holograms, and scratches in the clear coat visible, which remain hidden under uniform ceiling lighting. The focusable penlight is used for inspection after each polishing stage, while area lights with adjustable color temperature and high color rendering are used for color matching and identifying high spots in a sealant. Neither replaces the final inspection in daylight.

  • Lampade da ispezione

    Lampade da ispezione: le lampade da ispezione tirano fuori i segni fini nella vernice. Tipo di luce, luminosità e posizione cambiano quali difetti vedi.

    La lampada si sceglie sulla distanza di lavoro e sul compito; una luce diffusa in ambiente non sostituisce ogni controllo mirato della vernice.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Paint Inspection Lights


    What is a paint inspection light and why do you need one for polishing?

    A paint inspection light is a directional light source that makes swirls, holograms, and scratches in the clear coat visible. When polishing, you use it after each step to check if the defects have disappeared before moving on to a finer polish. Under uniform overhead lighting, the same defects often remain invisible until the car is out in the sun.

    How do I hold the paint inspection light correctly to see holograms?

    Keep it flat to the surface so that the spot of light appears reflected in the paint, and direct your gaze just to the side of the reflection, not directly into it. Slowly guide the spot over the segment and move your head slightly. First, remove polish residues with inspection spray, otherwise oils will mask fine holograms. For the FLEX "SF 150-P" Swirl Finder, set the focus tightly towards 10 degrees.

    Warm white or cool white: Which light color is suitable for paint inspection?

    There is no hard and fast rule. Cool white light above approximately 5,300 Kelvin defines scratches more harshly, while warm light below approximately 3,300 Kelvin makes holograms stand out better on some paints, and expert sources disagree on this. With a light featuring adjustable color temperature, you check the same segment in both settings and choose the one that reveals more on your paint.

    Is a normal flashlight or phone light sufficient for swirl inspection?

    If your light creates a small, hard spot in the paint, you can see coarse defects with it. If the focusing is missing, the scattering of fine scratches gets lost in the wide beam of light. The Swirl Finder by FLEX can be focused between 10 and 70 degrees while remaining hand-held. Any bright light will glare if held too close to the paint.

    Why do I only see holograms in the sun and not while polishing indoors?

    Overhead lighting and overcast skies illuminate the paint from all sides simultaneously, and the scattering of fine scratches gets lost within it. The sun is a single, very bright point source, and these defects appear in its reflection. A paint inspection light brings this directional light to your polishing station. It does not replace final inspection in daylight; more on this in the post Detecting Swirls in Paint.

    Do I need a floodlight in addition to a penlight?

    For pure swirl and hologram detection, the penlight is sufficient. A floodlight is worth it if you are matching colors of components, checking a ceramic coating for high spots, or want to illuminate an entire door or hood evenly. For this, a high color rendering index and an adjustable color temperature—for example, adjustable from 2,500 to 6,500 Kelvin—are important.


    Check paintwork with the paint inspection light


    1. Remove polish residue. Spray the freshly polished section with control spray and wipe it off with a clean polishing cloth so that no oils mask fine holograms.
    2. Focus the spot. If using a focusable pen light, narrow the beam to create a small, sharp spot of light.
    3. Shine at a flat angle. Point the light at the surface at a flat angle until the light spot appears as a reflection in the paint. Do not look directly into the spot.
    4. Guide the reflection, look to the side. Slowly move the light spot over the section and direct your gaze just beside the reflection. Move your head slightly to change the viewing angle.
    5. Evaluate findings. Shimmering streaks are holograms: repeat the last polishing step on this section. If the previous scratches are still there, the step has not yet removed them: repeat the step on this section before moving on.
    6. Final inspection in daylight. After the final polishing stage, take the vehicle outside once and check the surfaces in daylight.
