Light sources to show swirl marks up?

[Šįk]

Ok so the sun ain't out ATM, ino about the cheaper DIY sungun crack but is there any other type of light which shows them up well? ..something I may have lying about already that I have not thought off?

Cheers, Piers.

Led etc are s**t.. Currently on with making a DIY one. yellow dave nice link! Bargains tbh.

DIY Sunguns are the dogs b****cks. It uses the same bulb as a £400 3M sungun!

I love mine, one of the cheapest, best detailing items i've purchased.

 

[Šįk]

I still can't believe the price of the likes of a 3M one.. The profit margins must be huge as there isn't much to them and parts are cheap! ..especially in mass production!

Just made this DIY sungun for under £15!!!!!

Does it actually work? Looks like a bright torch to me. The secret with the cheap sun gun is the bulb.

 

[Joe#]

I might make myself one up actually. I can't justify spending stupid amounts on one.

 

[Šįk]

Yup 250v 50w Gu10 halogen bulb.. Iirc same bulb as the 3m gun

 

[Gally]

I think it's a solax bulb used but your one sounds right mate. Superb.

This reminds me, I need to find my in-car charger for the Brinkman.

I burnt the mains cater out b 230V. Oops.

American tat.

 

[Šįk]

Works a treat. Fingers crossed I'm detailing either a black s3 or flat red 147GTA tomorrow so will get pics of it in action

 

[Gally]

Please do mate. My gloss black units were a great test for my one.

Heres some s**tty shots of the DIY SunGun in action. Really struggled to capture/focus for some reason

Do you have any experience with these?

I'm guessing you mean this one:

If you don't have a 110v transformer you will need to rewire to a 3pin plug and get a new lamp to receive 230v.
Still cheaper than buying the 230v version.

 

[Yellow Dave]

I see them on every site I walk on and they put out a good light, but never used one for detailing.

Up until now I've been using my £200 mountainbike light but in the process of doing the B&Q / sun gun copy as in the ebay link posted earlier.

 

[Joe#]

Anybody used this before?

 

[aucky]

Yup I've got a brinkman, joe.

Borrow it if you want.

Is it any good?

iPhone 4 LED flash.

As a 'Tourch app' that actually works well for it's size! It's what I was using before I made my DIY SunGun - which is still going strong

That would be great thanks. I'll let you no
