TL;DR CRI 95+ community-corroborated for the Multimatch series (Connect uses the same LED module); swirls visible on dark paint. Continuously adjustable 2,500·6,500 K. CE-certified; no US UL or ETL listing on file.
Scangrip's tool-battery paint-inspection panel light. CRI+ (≥ 95) claimed; the Multimatch series is community-corroborated in Detailing World threads · the Connect uses the same LED module, though Connect-specific measurement is not on file. CCT SCAN sweeps 2,500·6,500 K continuously; Bluetooth allows manual selection; 3,000 lm maximum. Runs on external 18V/20V tool batteries or AC adapter · SCANGRIP CONNECTOR and power source sold separately. High CRI and full-spectrum CCT adjustability make it a paint-inspection specialist, not a work light.
Detailers correcting dark or metallic paint who already own a compatible 18V/20V tool platform. Skip it if you need a ready-to-use light · the body-only configuration adds significant cost for the CONNECTOR and power source.
CE-certified; no US UL or ETL listing on file. No UV LEDs confirmed. No internal battery · dispose via standard e-waste at end of life.
No. The MULTIMATCH 3 Connect is sold body-only · it does not include a SCANGRIP CONNECTOR, power supply, battery, or AC adapter. You need to purchase a SCANGRIP CONNECTOR separately (matching your tool brand · DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, etc.) plus compatible 18V/20V tool batteries, or an AC adapter. Factor this into the total cost before buying.
Scangrip rates it CRI+ (≥ 95). The Connect variant uses the same LED module as the standard Multimatch 3, which has been community-corroborated at CRI ≥ 95 in Detailing World and AutogeekOnline threads. Connect-specific independent measurement is not on file; the score is provisional pending more community data.
2,500 K to 6,500 K, continuously adjustable. CCT SCAN sweeps the full spectrum; the Scangrip Bluetooth app allows manual selection of any point in the range. Warm settings (around 3,000 K) help reveal surface texture and micro-marring; cooler daylight settings (around 6,000·6,500 K) are better for swirl and hologram detection.
No UL Listed or ETL Certified mark was found for this product. Scangrip is a Danish brand; the light carries CE certification (the European standard). CE certification has not been independently verified to US UL or ETL standards. This is reflected in a −0.5 health deduction.
The product listing classifies it as Handheld, referring to the integrated handle. Tripod compatibility and magnetic base availability for the Connect variant are unconfirmed from the available product documentation · check the Scangrip spec sheet for model 03.5675C before purchasing if mounting is critical to your workflow.
