Stop Working in the Dark
Trying to see what you're doing under a car or in tight engine bay spaces with a handheld torch is miserable. A properly mounted inspection light means you can actually see the bolt you're trying to undo.
💡 Pro tip: One well-positioned inspection light is worth ten torches. Both hands free and light exactly where you need it.
Proper Light vs Torch Juggling

|---|---|
| Both hands free to work | One hand holding light |
| Light stays where you point it | Keeps rolling away |
| Bright, focused illumination | Never quite bright enough |

What to Expect
Step 1: Plan Position
Work out where the light needs to go based on what you work on. Wall-mounted for side access, ceiling for overhead.
Step 2: Install Mount
Secure the mounting bracket properly - these lights need to stay put. Ceiling joists or wall studs.
Step 3: Connect Power
Either wire to existing socket with plug, or connect to spur if you want it permanent. Test brightness and position.
🔧 DIY Tips
Mounting an inspection light is straightforward:
🔧 What you need
- Inspection light with bracket
- Drill and appropriate bits
- Wall plugs or wood screws
- Spirit level
- Cable if wiring in
📏 Positioning it
- Height depends on use - overhead for general work, lower for under-car
- Angle so light points where you need it most
- Keep cable route tidy and safe
- Check nothing blocks the light cone
🛠️ Installation
- Mark mounting position (use level)
- Drill holes for fixings
- Secure bracket firmly
- Attach light to bracket
- Connect to power and test
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Mounting too low (bang your head on it)
- Fixing to plasterboard only (pulls out)
- Cable trailing across floor (trip hazard)
- Positioning where it'll get knocked
💡 Pro trick: Mount it on an adjustable arm if possible - means you can reposition it for different jobs without re-drilling.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Sorting garage lighting? Combine inspection light with general LED strips or overhead lighting - do all the garage lighting in one visit.
Brightness levels: Modern LED inspection lights are 1000-3000 lumens typically. That's bright - way better than old halogen work lights and uses less power.
Heat: LEDs run cool unlike old inspection lamps. You can actually touch them after they've been on for hours.
Positioning: If you mainly work on cars, ceiling-mounted pointing down is best. For bikes or benchtop work, wall-mounted at workbench height works better.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's an inspection light for?
They're bright LED lights you can position exactly where you need them - under cars, behind engines, in tight spots. Loads better than trying to hold a torch in your mouth while working. I fit them to walls or ceilings in your garage.
Do you wire them in or use a plug?
Either way works. If you've got a socket nearby, I can fit a plug version. If you want it permanently wired, I can do that too - but you'll need an electrician to connect it to mains unless you've got a spur nearby.
Can you fit multiple lights?
Yes - makes sense if you're working on cars or bikes regularly. One overhead, maybe one lower down for under-car work. I'll position them based on how you use the space.
What about LED strip lights instead?
They're good for general garage lighting. Inspection lights are more focused and moveable. Depends what you want - I can advise on the best option for your setup.
Will it be bright enough?
Modern LED inspection lights are seriously bright - way better than old incandescent bulbs. I'll make sure you've got enough light for detailed work.
