desktop lamp with high CRI for judging prints

[Lothman]

Hi all,

can anybody recommend a desktop light source in order to judge prints made late at night ;-)
May be a LED solution with light compared to D50 fluorescent lamps but without bee forced to sell a kidney.

best regards
Lothar

I was hoping for a ready to buy desktop lamp.

I got a LED video light panel with high CRI LED from Dracast, I hope that will do the job.

If you’re trying to avoid the "sell a kidney" prices of professional D50 booths, check out some of the dimmable LED floor lamps instead of just desk-specific ones.

I have a shelf lamp from Sunmory in my workspace that lets me toggle between color temps, which is pretty handy for seeing how ink reacts under different warmth levels. Just make sure whatever you get has a high enough lumen count so you aren't squinting at the details.

Choose a desktop lamp with high CRI (90+), neutral daylight color temperature, even illumination, and adjustable arm to accurately judge print colors, details, and tones without distortion.
