I just came in from the shop - I was sanding some red oak drawer fronts and using my STL450 light to spot any defects or scratches. I have had this light since it was released last fall, and haven't written about it yet so thought I'd write a quick review. I realize that Festool probably designed this for the drywall guys, but wow does it work nice for a sanding inspection light. I set it on its side on top of my MFT and set the drawer front on my Vac-Sys and Presto! Every minor scratch, swirl mark, or fine hand-sanding line shows up clear as day until I get them all cleaned up. The dark stain I'm using shows every defect if left behind so it's been nice to find them beforehand so I don't have to stain them twice.
I thought the price was insane before I purchased but I have to say that it has saved me a lot of touchup work, so now I don't think it was quite so insane (but maybe still a little). I would highly recommend this light.
