About

I test lamps against swatch books and calibrated displays, assessing TM-30 fidelity/gamut, R9 strength, and beam uniformity for design, retouching, and analog art.

Core Beliefs

Accurate, even light protects craft time and reduces costly do-overs.

Background

A red jacket looked perfect under my old lamp—and off under studio daylight. Measuring showed a spiky spectrum and weak R9. After switching to a high-CRI, stable-CCT arm with even spread, my proofs matched the morning sun. Fewer re-shoots, fewer edits, and more trust in what I see.
