Why Trust Us

We test lighting where you actually work—apartments, small studios, and real venues with low ceilings, mixed ambient, and limited power. Our picks are the result of measured data plus field‑proven recipes you can repeat on demand.

Expertise You Can Verify

• Cross‑disciplinary team: color science, event workflow, product/portrait control, and hybrid video—so we spot issues that single‑discipline reviews miss.
• Physics‑first methods: TM‑30/SSI tracking, tint stability, flicker windows, fan noise in dB(A), and power draw under real circuits.
• Replication by design: every recommendation includes distances, angles, power percentages, exposure targets, and compatible alternatives.

Receipts, Not Vibes

• We publish test conditions and firmware versions, and we call out limitations and trade‑offs.
• We stress gear with speed, heat, and ambient‑mix scenarios, then document how to control spill and reflections in small rooms.
• We’re brand‑agnostic and update guides if better options appear.

Your Constraints, Our Baseline

Silent operation for interviews. Flicker‑safe shutters for slow motion. Clean color across camera brands. Setup and tear‑down in under 10–15 minutes. If a tool can’t meet those constraints, it won’t make our kits.

Have a room or use case you want us to test? Email [email protected] with dimensions, ceiling height, and budget. We’ll either point you to an existing recipe or add your scenario to our queue.
