Not at all here ya go. I have a total of 7 bulbs in those lamps.

So right now I have 4100 k so then I should go for 5oook and maybe 800 lumens bulbs?

So I got my prints back and they are warmer and darker than the screen. I'm at d50 native. Should I calibrate to d55 ? Or Get warmer bulbs first ?

OK , so I cannot change the walls no matter what its not possible. I edit and calibrate at night so that changes the color in the room anyway. So then I need brighter bulbs correct and warmer? If I understand you correctly ? I just sent out for prints to start the calibration process again. I've been trying o calibrate this machine for a year now and nothing is working .I've moved my work space and changed light bulbs twice added more lamps so that I can add more light to the room and still nothing. I really don't know what to do next lol!

Also, to clarify, you have 4100k in your light fixtures but you suggested to me the 6500k? Are you saying if I had enough lumens the 4100 k would work ? Sorry confused.

Yes you have sent me this link before in another conversation. This company will not ship to me. So then I had to try another online store and they did not have this bulb at all so I had settled on the 4100k and 550 lumens. There is a whole post about this issue somewhere but when I typed my name in search... I didn't find it in the list on Damiens page. I wanted to go back and see what else you had suggested. IT may not work better but at least it will work with Catalina when one day I want to upgrade it.

It's very hard to find those online even. Thats why I went with the 4100k. I'm sure you don't remember the whole conversation. What recommended lumens? right now I have the 4100k and 550 lumens and that is bright I have 7 of those bulbs surrounding me. And difficult to to focus and see with those bulbs even at 550 lumens. As far as my wall when we painted this house I specifically wanted a color that would not cause a color cast. So its a matte beige/tan with no yellow undertones its more on the grey side but not yet grey if that makes sense. The whole house is painted in that color not even 2 years ago so that's not going to change lol!

Oh wow! Thats amazing ... Looks like a switch board lol! What is the green contraption you got there ? I'm about to purchase the Spyder Pro X and hope it works better than the Xrite I spent almost 300$ on! I'm just not happy with it. I will be purchasing Damien Raw class soon but I want to make sure it's calibrated correctly before I do the class. Will the Spyder have a brightness option since that has really been my problem ?

Brian have you yet purchased this device for your iMac ? Wondering how it's working for you if you have bought it.
