Dent repair lights & dent lamps
Tripods, lamp mounts, and accessories
Find the right equipment for every light.
When removing dents, the right lighting makes all the difference. Only when a surface is optimally illuminated can even small dents, subtle contour lines, and minor irregularities be reliably detected. That’s why our shop offers PDR lights and lamps specially designed for precision work in everyday PDR applications – for clear visibility, efficient workflows, and consistent results.
Lighting that reveals contours
A good PDR lamp shouldn’t just be bright. What matters is that it displays reflections and light lines in a way that makes the highs and lows on the surface easy to read. This saves time, reduces false starts, and improves precision – especially when working on cars in changing light conditions.
With the right lighting, you can inspect surfaces precisely and reveal contours. LED lighting provides stable light lines and even illumination. Depending on the application, there are suitable solutions for large and small areas – from mobile setups to fixed tripod solutions.
The right PDR lamp for your needs
Which PDR lamp is right for you mainly depends on how flexibly you want to work. Mobile lights are especially useful when you need to move quickly between different areas. Tripod solutions are ideal when you want stable, even lighting over an extended period. Adjustable mounts also make it easy to change light patterns quickly and adapt them to the surface in question.
Tripods, mounts, and suction cups for precise positioning
The best light is of little use if it isn’t secure or can’t be repositioned quickly. That’s why we also offer suitable accessories for precise positioning. With tripods, lamp mounts, and suction cup solutions, you can place the light exactly where you need it – on large surfaces as well as in confined areas.
Our range includes folding tripods, U-shaped tripods, lamp mounts, articulated arms, and suction cup solutions. This lets you put together a setup that’s just right for your work area and workflow.
Reliable power for mobile use
Consistent power is especially important when working on the move. With suitable batteries, reliable chargers, and compatible adapters, your lighting stays steady without unnecessary interruptions to your workflow. This lets you work flexibly and count on your lighting setup being ready to use whenever you need it.
FAQ
A dent repair lamp, also known as a PDR lamp or dent lamp, is an LED light with light strips that reflect off the paintwork. Where there is a dent, the lines become distorted. This lets you see exactly where to start when repairing a dent without repainting.
On the lighting and positioning. The light must illuminate the area so that contours are visible and can be quickly aligned.
Mobile lamps like the Classic S Akku, the MaksMaster M G2, or the Basic S are compact and quick to use. They are suitable, for example, for hail damage, field work, or having an appraiser assess the damage. Stand-mounted lamps like the Classic L and XL illuminate large areas such as hoods, roofs, or doors continuously and evenly.
The Classic L measures 95 x 19 cm, weighs 1.8 kg, and has 75 watts. The Classic XL measures 110 x 31 cm, weighs 3.3 kg, and has 90 watts. Both have six dimmable LED strips (three warm white, three white) and run on 12 V. The L is suitable for doors and side panels, while the XL is suitable for hoods and roofs.
For hail repair, we recommend the Classic XL. It illuminates a larger area, so you need to reposition the lamp less often.
The Classic S battery runs on Makita batteries from 14.4 to 18 V, as does the MaksMaster M G2. The Classic L and XL run on 12 V via a battery or power adapter, and can also run on an 18 V Makita battery with the voltage converter. Battery life depends on the settings, specifically how many strips are lit at once and at what brightness. Typically, a battery lasts several hours.
Depending on external lighting conditions and paint color, the surface is easier to see with warm white or white light. Each eye also perceives light slightly differently. That is why both light colors are built into the Classic L and XL.
Yes. If there are any problems with your lamp, we’ll repair it. Older models, some of which are ten years old or more, are also eligible, provided spare parts are still available. Charges are based on labor time and materials used.
There’s nothing wrong with building your own if you enjoy tinkering and have the time for it. We still recommend a mass-produced device, as it meets all legal requirements and safety standards.
Tripods, lamp mounts, suction cups, and articulated arms are often useful, along with compatible batteries and chargers. This lets you quickly adapt your setup.
