LIGHT AT THE WORKING DISTANCE

A lamp’s output matters
where you need the light.

Choose from 686 real lamps with photometric data. Place the light where it will stand on set, then read the light meter in foot-candles. Explore the look with real lenses and light data, not just an idea of what might work.
