My cheap, clear 100W garage light bulbs were never the best at lighting my garage space as a whole (and hid many paint imperfections due to poor lighting), so I took the opportunity to find an inexpensive bulb more suited to auto detailing. I settled on this GV 100W Equivalent LED bulb. I immediately noticed a huge difference- garage was much more illuminated, and every swirl and scratch showed up on the vehicles in the space.
Here's a sample pic I took of the swirls now shown by the bulb:
Apparently this bulb uses light at 5000K, which is much closer to sunlight, and so it is great for seeing imperfections in paint. And best of all, it didn't break the bank: $9.84 per bulb in-store, with a rated lifetime of 25,000 hours. I have no idea if it will last that long, but it's a major upgrade on the cheap, and I'd recommend picking some up to improve the lighting in anyone's garage.
