Default Sunlight on demand....

Just got my mag from Northern tool & equipment Automotive. And they have the color matcher CM5300 on sale for 159.99....Found it on the net but it's a little higher price...
I don't know if it compares to the 3M sungun, just thought I would share....

I would like to know how it peforms as well. It is a cheaper alternative to the 3m sungun. I posted this up a few weeks ago. I'll be waiting for your feedback.

Inspection Lighting- to inspect the paint finish for surface marring - Sunlight, Xenon, 500W halogen, or a high pressure sodium-vapour (parking lot lights)

a) Brinkmann REI - most LED’s merely glow, but Rebel's highly efficient, finely focused lens casts a 40-ft. beam of far-reaching light. Fish-eye-shaped lens focuses the light from the single white LED bulb into a bright, consistent beam; no dark spot in the beam's centre, the LED bulb is nearly indestructible and draws very little power, greatly extending battery life; runs on two AA batteries, included, a tough ABS plastic is armoured with thick, no-slip rubber grips Push-button on/off switch inset in the back cap
REI - Brinkmann LED ll Flashlight from REI.com

b) The 3M Sun Gun™ Colour Matching Light can be used throughout the refinish process, the percentage of light vs. natural day light is CRI (Colour Rendering Index) = 99.35%: identify paint defects such as swirl marks, burn through, sand scratches, etc., which will reduce the chance of costly re-work-
