To add a couple concrete questions:
- Did you experiment with any of the super high powered single LEDs? (e.g. 200-500w)
- How big a problem is monitor glare? Do you have a special monitor (e.g. Studio Display)? I have a 400 nit monitor (brightest 42" IPS monitor at the time I bought it), and I'm worried about going all in on lighting, and then not being able to effectively being able to use my monitor.
- wincy 4y agoI haven’t used any super high powered LEDs mostly because I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to this. I spent $35 on a clearance corn bulb that uses 100W and outputs 10,000 lumens, but I’m not sure I’d recommend them as the light output seems “dirtier” (i.e. it flickers in webcams). Buying $120 worth of 1600 lumen each bulbs was incremental and I bought an 8 pack every few weeks until I’d filled all my light sockets. I’m using ~400-450 nits brightness monitors and it’s fine in light mode. I can make things out in dark mode but it’s less pleasant. I don’t get monitor glare but maybe that’s due to positioning? I have the corn bulb up and to the left of me and the 28 bulbs are stuck into the ceiling fan (which looks silly but works!)
