recalibration with new light bulbs

[Jbasya]

Hi Damien

I put new lights in, they're brighter than before, and they're 4000K instead of 5000K. Would you expect my white point setting to change, or just my luminance?

Thanks!

Just the luminance, I'd guess.

But hey, we might be surprised.

we are very surprised and f'ing frustrated as hell.

I did wind up getting great colors, so it's done, but can I manually up my monitor brightness a tiny bit (literally one notch) or do I need to redo the whole calibration yet again?

Also does either of these portend hardware failure of some sort? the first one happened while calibrating with some early numbers that didn't work out, the second one while trying to adjust the gamma or brightness in "spydertune".

Yes, sorry.

I'm glad you've re-done the calibration since this message, because that's what I would have told you to do.

I've never seen that one before, sorry.
