Very very professional product. Well packaged and easy to install. The product is very bright with no dark spots! Add the adjustable dimmer if you need more ambiance. If migrating from fluorescent tubes understand that the strips are very flat. Ie if you have an alcove that is more recessed, put the strips on the aluminum enclosures and lay them on wooden blocks so you won’t have shadow areas. Thanks for creating a spectacular product.
This is a nice low level lighting. I actually have a red light i use at night but this is is a nice orange yellow color that feels more like a normal light but without the blue/white in there. A delicious color for evening hours to match that sunset glow.
Very bright, transparent light! I little tricky to mount because the included hardware is meant for it to hang vertically from chains. I ended up using speaker mounts from Amazon with zip ties through the holes meant for the chains. A little janky, but it works perfectly.
It's the highlight of our kitchen remodels when people can turn on their dimmable cabinet lighting. It really is the finishing touch that makes the job.
After watching a YouTube video on how to convert an old fluorescent tube Apollo Portable Lightbox into a high-end LED CRI 99 light-box. I ordered five ABSOLUTE SERIES™ 99 CRI 6500K LED strips, with the 24v power supply, and the must get Filmgrade (TM) Flicker Free LED Dimmer. Everything assembled without any issues. It was an easy plug and play that also required some drilling to use the stainless M3 hardware that attached each strip! It would be nice if Waveform offered a threaded female barrel connector. I ended up purchasing one via Amazon.
All I can say is WOW! It is bright and beautiful. Because it is so bright, I recommend WF’s optional dimmer for use is converting 35mm, 120, and large format negatives into high quality digital files that are color correct. This system save money versus any 99 CRI assembled units which cost well over $1K.
Super solid power supply. Absolutely no flicker on the strips and nice clean output.
Absolutely sold on this company and their products... just need to find more places to put LEDs in the house.
I bought one to replace the bulb in my bedside lamp as a last ditch effort to improve my sleep. Be forewarned: it is YELLOW. I've gotten used to it but it was a bit of a shock at first.
However, I can say I fall asleep faster than ever. Even with meticulous sleep hygiene I suffered from insomnia - which I now believe may have been caused by all the LEDs I'm exposed to daily. Now I fall asleep in about ten minutes.
I'm the sort of person who needs every lamp and overhead light on to feel like I can actually see, but I am seriously considering converting every lamp in the house.
Additionally my eyes feel less strained when I read with this bulb in instead of the normal one. I highly recommend this to anyone with eyestrain and sleep issues.
Good construction, great color and CRI. Output as advertised but possibly lower candella than expected. Plan on hanging them as close to your work surface as possible.
I have been pleased with all of waveform's lights. These are the best LED's I have used. Great colors, no flicker, just high quality light. 6500k for the kitchen. Pairing it with their 4ft lightbar.
I keep coming back for more of these. They look good, but more importantly they perform: they live up to the initial promise of LED bulbs, namely, they’re just as good as regular ones, but they don’t get hot, they don’t burn out, and they last.
69.99 for something that should come with the product. And is only 13 bucks on amazon. So much for support small business when they try to rape you.
I don’t know what more to say; these bulbs are just amazing and the perfect color for my home office. I love that they’re flicker free, too! Love them!
I am just getting accustomed to the new light fixture. So far, so good. I have it on with other lighting to soften the LED brightness. Colors look awesome, and I was able to photo a painting in its light that was right on. I also agree with the reflector suggestion.
I have been very happy with all of the lights I have recently received from Waveform Lighting
I usually wouldn't spend so much on a light bulb but because I've had to do more late night readings, I have been wanting incandescent bulbs. However, many of them have been burning out pretty quickly and the cheap ones I've found online just haven't felt the same. After having purchased this bulb, I have found an appreciation for "good bulbs." I appreciate waveform for selling these to the general public.
I bought this bulb to illuminate prints as they come off of my Epson P900 inkjet printer, and for that purpose it works quite well. I measured a CCT of 5045K and CRIa of 97.0 (R9 93) with a Sekonic C-800-U spectrometer, so in spec there. However, the SSI was only 77 [CIE D50], a bit disappointing. I have attached a measured spectrum. I think the SSI value suffers from a drop-off in the greens and the significant blue spike that is characteristic of this type of LED bulb. I don't think I would use this bulb for photographic purposes.
I make crafts, and the lighting is perfect. I will be ordering more for the rest of my shop.
