If LED's are banned, that must mean when i was told to buy an inspection torch, to not exceed 200 Lumens, I remember being told something about 200 Lumens, but I couldn't remember what.
I do have a mini Mag-Lite, which is an old LED, gives the same output as a filament bulb.
I'll look into non-LED torches, it doesn't hurt to have more than one torch.
Im back out on the Line tomorrow, so i'm not going to be able to test any torch as they Haven't come in the post yet
In terms of aircraft i work on, to make sure it reaches the top of the tail on inspection, I work on; 737Classics, 737NG's, 752, 763, and as of next year, 787-8
Thats my only main concern, will it illuminate the tip of the tail, oh, and that its not to bright at close range it hurts my eyes to focus on it, potentially masking damage.
If any of you more experienced engineers could suggest tooling i should carry on the line, i'd be grateful of a pm. I know the basic tooling i should have, but what would you guys suggest?
