Very noticable how much more blah I feel ever since it became gray outside.

@magicatgwen tbh I'm not sure I need a fake window, I just need more light in here
Especially because this house is well shaded -
Temporarily it's living on top of a shelving unit pointing up. It makes the ceiling above it uncomfortable to look at.
This might work?? -
@erincandescent photos?!
-
@neilhenning tbh it's impossible for sRGB and a phone camera to do this justice
-
@erincandescent @neilhenning this photo makes me legitimately concerned it might start a fire
and you're saying the photo isn't even doing it justice
-
@demize @neilhenning ehh the ceiling only gets slightly warm
Ideally it would be mounted 40cm lower down or do, in order to diffuse over a wider area. The ideal height is probably for the light to be just above people's eyelines -

@erincandescent @neilhenning the fact that I can see banding artifacts in the *upper* half of the luminance range tells me all I need to know about how fuckin' bright this thing is

@erincandescent @neilhenning I just realised that your lamp is so bright that it actually exceeds the maximum luminance that can be expressed in the Perceptual Quantizer EOTF used in HDR10+, which caps out at 10000 nits (34483 lumens)

@gsuberland @neilhenning honestly this is entirely fair, HDR10+ specification. If my TV were that bright I wouldn’t wanna look at it.

@erincandescent @neilhenning I was just thinking the same thing. now I have a yardstick for just how frickin' bright the top end of the transfer curve is.

@gsuberland @neilhenning honestly its very funny how the photograph above makes the normal ceiling lights look dull. That superwhite spot really blows out the white balance

@gsuberland @neilhenning …I guess given the definition of the nit it would only actually be ~that many lumens though if a 1m^2 segment of screen was illuminated, right?

@erincandescent @gsuberland @neilhenning This was the thing I was eventually noticing about it ... the exposure shifted so far it looks like your ceiling lights are just little glowy night-lights.

@acsawdey @gsuberland @neilhenning yeah it looks like everything is cosy and dark
no. hell no. the exact opposite is true.
