The main reason that we use lights to repair dents and dings using the PDR process is to see the depth of the damage and to eliminate the bottom of the damage so that we can see our tools working behind the panel. Also using lights, light boards, reflection boards, and line boards gives us the information or the data that we, as paintless dent repair technicians, need in order to see if the dent is still low or if there are crowns that are high on the panel, whatever distortion is still there that needs to be adjusted using our modalities and techniques. Professional PDR Technicians want a well illuminated surface so that they can properly see every facet of the dent and repair is completely. 

American Dent Specialists mainly uses fog light boards or line boards in order to repair damage. We used fluorescent lights for many years with tape on the bulb in order to see the distortion in the panel that we're repairing. As technology has advanced, we have also advanced with it doing multiple paintless dent removal trainings, paintless dent repair trainings, paintless dent repair equipment trainings, large dent trainings, small dent trainings, hail damage repair trainings, in which we continue to advance our skill and expertise.

As the team at Dentcraft Tools puts it:

PDR lights are an essential part of dent repair. The process includes reading the reflection of the PDR light off the panel to repair panel damage. Dent Repair Lights used to consist of a fluorescent type of light bulb modified to cast a larger area of fog. As PDR developed the industry started to integrate LED lighting cast through a lens or diffuser. An alternative source of reflection for dent repair is called the Reflector Board. Hood stands allow for the repairing of panels that have been removed from the vehicle. Often used when a panel has a larger amount of damage to fix and when it would be more comfortable for longer periods of working time.
