Astro Pneumatic Tool 50SL SunLight 400 Lumen Rechargeable Handheld Color Match Light - CRI 97

Excelente calidad más aún por el precio

This light seemed pretty expensive for a flashlight, but it came highly recommended on Reddit detailing forum, so I took the risk.I have never heard of the brand, but it is definitely A company that takes pride in their work. This thing is solid, heavy, and reveals paint details that I have never noticed in a car that I have owned for five years.It's kind of crazy what a high CRI, or color rendering index, light can do.In addition to having a surprisingly good light, this thing has a magnet on the back which is strong enough to hang it from any position, despite its weight. It can also bend the base so that you can get the ideal position without needing to hold it, as long as you have nearby made of steel or iron.It did pinch my finger when I unbent the base, so be careful where your hands are.

So I have used this Astro Branded color match light for about 4 months and on 2 full paint corrections and a few spot corrections. When I purchased it there were only about 5 reviews on Amazon which were good but limited. As of today there are 36 reviews that are mostly glowing and for good reason.This light is actually marketed more for bodyshops to replicate natural sun light and aid in paint matching. I can however attest that it does a great job for spotting paint imperfections most notably swirls, spider trails, acid rain spots, ect. For the price point it works amazingly well especially considering that similar lights cost close to twice as much.What sets this light apart:2 brightness settingsRechargeable with a base station much like a cordless phone.Features a charge indicator bar.Folding hanger hook.Has a magnetic base on the light.This last feature is very handy as you can place the light on panels with an adjustable head so that you can focus the light to the area you are working on for paint correction or under the hood of a car when doing engine work.Once fully charged I have been able use this off and on for a good 4 hours without running out of charge.If your in the market for a good swirl finder light or even a shop light with the magnetic base and small retractable hanger hook for less than $70 it is hard to beat. It also has a nice weight to it and feels good in the hand.If I had a complaint it would be that the base has little weight so you have to hold the base with one hand while pulling the light out with the other.

Quality product, fast delivery

My husband loved it so much he bought one for his father. Very bright and the magnetic feature is amazing thank you

it feels solid. Not cheap plastic. It has weight to it and the magnet is strong. The only issue I've had is it jumps from the higher power to lower power on it's own after a few minutes. If you're looking for a strong light you can just stick to metal and aim for more than 2 minutes, this won't work. If you want a handheld that you can look at paint for a minute and move on, it's perfect.

Decent representation of sunlight for color matching purposes of an autobody/paint technician, price is extremely fair! Feels hefty and durable in the hand even for it's smaller size.

I currently work as quality inspector for automotive repairs and this has made my job much easier. I used to use the "Nebo Big Larry" and while I love that light (and still use it for general illumination purposes as the battery life is longer) it does not even compare to this one. With the COB LED I would have to scan every square inch I was inspecting but with the Astro i can check the whole panel from 2 feet away. If someone was forcing me to find a negative for this light I would have to say the charging situation. A full charge lasts me two days of inspecting cars (not upset about that at all as the nebo usually runs through three double AA's in a week) and I usually inspect 10-20 per day but the charger could have easily been a micro usb rather than a charging stand. I carry micro usb cables (this light has a usb wall adapter, a micro usb cable, and stand) but now I also have to keep track of the base...The shop guys are not happy I have this. If it could only make dealing with the shop guys easier I would love my job LOL.
