Comparison of the color temperatures of different bulbs in the garage
I have been doing some research into the color temperature of light bulbs as related to that of natural sunlight. I picked a metal halide fixture for 2 reasons. First, it is very close the the Kelvin Degree of the sun and secondly, when one is parked under metal halide lighting at night, you can see every little defect in your paint.
I pulled my truck into the garage under this light and the results were astounding. It certainly brings out the paint defects as I had hoped it would.
Great way to see to get all of the marring out of the paint on a bad weather day.
This is only a 150 watt bulb but puts out as much light as a 500 watt bulb.
The stand I used is a professional portable stage light stand.
