CUTTING-IN, STANDOFF, ILLUMINATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An apparatus and method provide an adjustable, aimed, lighting system that may be selectively secured to and removed from the ferrule of a paintbrush for illuminating the edge of the bristles during a cutting-in process. The light may be moved as appropriate, and may be aimed to ride with the brush, thus illuminating directly at the edge where paint is being deposited. Thus, precise deposition of paint may be done in spite of the shadows cast by the body of the painter and the bulk of the brush during much of such cutting-in procedures.
