I just go to bed once it's too dark to work and wake up with the sunrise.
Juan Russell
thats really good
Tyler Mitchell
I hate that soft yellow light. Bright, white 4 lyf.
Ryder Rivera
Why is it so easy to define colors like red, blue and green by wavelength, but there's no real definition for "white"?
Samuel Howard
I got lots of lava lamps
100w incandescent
20w t12 3500k florescent
Angel Cooper
Fucking faggot!
Kayden Gomez
Link this lamp, I'm in the market for one and I need this
Luis King
yellow light is same concept as night mode on the iphoen or flux, reduces blue light so you can fall asleep
Connor Martin
im looking at one too actually
Carson Kelly
Every stall on the boot has a lamp for 50p
What U buying one for?
Liam Hall
> doesn't ship internationally
fuck. pic in OP sold me immediately.
Jaxson Morales
Soft yellow light is god tier.
Parker Gonzalez
Anyone tried the other lumos lamps (other than the e1)?
Dominic Garcia
Ikea Tertial. I have the same lamp on my bedside table. Clamps to the edge so it has almost no footprint and you can maneuver it across the entire desktop
40w GE Reveal in it usually, switched to an Ikea 400 lumen led but it's a little too yellow for my taste.

>but there's no real definition for "white"?
White is the mixture of all colors. If you saw all colors with an equal intensity, that would be real white. But that is not what we are usually dealing with, so our white is always tinted.
>easy to define colors like red, blue and green by wavelength
I mean, sure 550 nm is green and 700 nm is red, but where does green end and red start? Is 600 nm red with a bit of green in it?
Xavier Thomas
very nice, are the joints any good?

2nd gen Philips Living Colours, I picked up a bunch of these during a clearance sale. Usually I'll have it set to a dimmed orange-red during the evening to rest my eyes.
Other than that I've got a desk lamp and the typical ceiling light, both with a white LED bulb in there.
Cameron Wright
do you point this at a wall?
Jaxon Richardson
theres a bunch of reviews on youtube, from my reading of reviews, the e1 has better electricals and more reliable usb ports than the most popular a2 model
Connor Edwards
Some IKEA lamp with 2700K LEDs.

You either point them at a wall or along side a wall. I've placed one behind my television and one behind my monitors aimed alongside white walls, so the colours are highly visible. The only downside to these is that the white light (colour intensity all the way down) has a yellow tint to it. Then again, that's what I've got my ceiling lights for anyway.

Color theory does specify "white" however the science of it can be a bit complicated. It's based on physics and blackbody radiation/calculations. Our current standard for white is usually based on D65.

CRI is like the "quality" of light. As seen in the graph, fluorescent lights are very peaky. At the same time CRI is not always the best measure of light because you can manipulate the peaks of so that it scores better. Today there are a lot of LED lights that may not score as high as CFL with CRI but perform better in other metrics and produce a much better light closer to incandescent.

I bought an x220 for a desk light. The ThinkLight wasn't as bright as I tought it would be but at least it can be controlled over the net
Dominic Mitchell
Keep it right behind my monitor for ambient lighting

Isn't that orange?
Samuel Sullivan
That diagram is pretty enlightening, thanks.
Jose Martin
I use a make-shift lamp with this meme bulb. Kinda bright for the desired effect it advertises with.
Easton Collins
Pair of Humanscale Element Disk lamps.
Got them used for 50 bucks.
Can't complain.

It completely baits you into believing that you have good skin.

The key to "white" is that the tint/spectrum as closely as possible match that of a blackbody radiator (something that produces light purely with heat). The white of a blackbody radiator varies with temperature, but it inherently pure.
An incandescent lamp, provided it doesn't have any tint-modifying coding, is inherently pure because it produces light with heat. Other light sources, such as fluorescent or LED, utilize phosphors to actually produce the visible spectrum of light. For this reason, they are NOT inherently pure, and this is why a lot of fluorescent and LED light sources look terrible or unnatural. It takes high quality phosphors with consistent quality control in order to produce light that is actually close enough to a blackbody radiator to appear natural.
>that feel when you have light quality autism and lights with slightly unnatural tints drive you insane

CRI is not an end all be all to the quality of light. In fact it's very possible for an LED or fluorescent lamp to have a very high CRI but still look terrible due to tinting. I have seen plenty of examples of this, especially in the realm of fluorescent lighting. A 70-80 CRI light with no noticeable tint issues will generally look better than a 90+ CRI light with even a slight tint issue.
CRI is somewhat of a meme. It's important but in practice what people actually notice and care about is the CCT and lack of weird tints.

i use one of those extremely bright led lights you use for your fish tank
