Glad you got your brakes sorted in the end!
Yes a bit of light on the subject certainly helps, especially if you are running stock pads that cover everything in black dust! A mechanic I know uses a small LED torch that has a long thin (6mm dia) 'probe' on the end that lets you direct the light right where you need it - He says it saves him hours of dismantling when just doing routine service checks. I really ought to get one
