A lighting device for foreign object debris (FOD) detection is included. The lighting device includes a light source configured to emit light onto a surface, and a diffuser coupled to the light source and configured to cause the emitted light to impinge the surface in at least a partially planar pattern, so as to create a darkfield lighting effect with respect to the surface. The lighting device further includes a cylindrical rod including a first end portion and a second end portion, in which the first end portion is configured to couple to the light source and the diffuser and the second end portion is configured to be manually held by a user of the portable lighting device.
