LED garage lights

been doing some lighting in the boys garage for 2 days. This is a system used to detail the paint of collectors cars that come in on Saturdays to be prepared by an individual who charges 200 quid to make a car look perfect. Mostly high end cars where money is no object.
The lights form a pattern reflection on the paint and looking at the paint, the lines will appear very wavy on a car with a little dimpled finish as most new cars have. It gets polished until all the lines appear straight and a glass smooth finish. The lighting was 700 pounds and the wood was another 300. Colour is natural daylight. Put my new car in there and the paint appears poor but outside looks just perfect.
Boy is in the final of business of the year on Friday. Bound to be position 1,2 or 3 but one of the other finalists is the huge Ocean complex on the seafront with bowling alley etc and its a public vote. A bit weighted in favour of the Ocean with its thousands of visitors per week

Wheeler Dealers did something like that on an old AMC car, it lit up like a Christmas tree driving through the city (Las Vegas,I think) at night.

The lights will only show imperfections that are in the paint..not the Finnish..modern cars are sprayed by robots a white or light grey undercoat not etched then sprayed the topcoat of colour .then the final layer of clear lacquer.. the two colour coats are water based and run very easily so usually thicker at the vertical bottoms of panels As hand spraying will rectify this..

Fitted some metal halide flood lights Today for general lighting having removed the 1800mm fluorescent fittings from the ceiling.
MH lamps are very bright for the 70watt power consumption except they need 2 minutes to warm up.
Will also be a good lamp for cannabis grows
