When it comes to the best light for these projects, our expert tips are: - **Opt for a headlamp.** This may sound obvious, but many people still try to use hand [torches](/content/collections/flashlights/index.html) to work on cars. [Headlamps](/content/collections/headlamps/index.html) are ideal as they allow you to work handsfree, and front mount headlamps are even better so you don’t have to worry about a battery pack potentially hitting you on the back of your head. A few of our top choices that fall under this category are the [MH3](/content/products/mh3/index.html), [MH5](/content/products/mh5/index.html) and [IH9R](/content/products/ih9r/index.html). - **Be prepared for any fiddly work that needs to be done.** If you need to inspect a certain part that is in a confined space like the car engine bay, you will need a light that will fit, like pen lights or small [work-lights](/content/collections/work-lights/index.html). These options are easy to navigate through tight spaces as they don’t take up much room. Our top choice for this purpose is the iW2R, which will give you two “ [Flood Light](/content/collections/flood-lights/index.html)” options meaning you can illuminate a wider space, but it also has a “Spot Beam” so you can focus in on a more specific area when needed. The [iW2R](/content/products/iw2r-1/index.html) is rechargeable and comes with a clip so you can attach to your shirt pocket and utilise the light while it is in your pocket meaning your hands are also free. - **Don’t let grease get in your way.** If you’re working on a car, getting oil, grease and other substances on your hands and lighting products is a given. That’s why our “ [Industrial](/content/collections/industrial/index.html)” work series torches have a diamond knurling grip to help with the torch stop from slipping. Products such as the [i7](/content/products/i7/index.html) also comes with a wrist lanyard and roll protectors to ensure your torch is always where you left it. - Be flexible. If you are going to be working on various parts of the car, it’s important to have a functional [area light](/content/collections/area-lights/index.html) that can be positioned in different ways around the car, either through a magnetic base, standing on a flat surface or hanging from a hook. For this, our [iF2R](/content/products/if2r/index.html) would be your product of choice, as this mini floodlight is bright enough to light up your engine bay and also comes with a spot light so you can use it as a handheld light also.
