Printing and accurately assessing prints during daylight hours is easy – it’s only your eyes you need to worry about! But once daylight fails and household or office lights have to be turned on, the reliability of our colour perception is at the mercy of the light sources we use. Accurate colour assessment is critically important to photographers and that’s where this lamp comes in.
The Colour Confidence GrafiLite is a daylight-balanced lamp aimed at photographers and designers. It’s suitable for viewing prints, proofs and colour swatches using a mid-grey A4 viewing mat that fits at the foot of the lamp and provides a neutral area to view prints.
The lamp itself has a soft neutral light around 5250K that lights product shots, macro shots and portraits perfectly, revealing impressive versatility. My main issue is with the glossy viewing mat – a matt finish would be much more sensible.
At £15 replacement bulbs aren’t cheap but even one a year won’t break the bank. Overall, it’s a very handy light source.
