D50 Lighting™ 5000K A19 LED Bulb for Color Matching (ISO3664:2000)

I bought a BenQ for color management, so I needed D50 lighting to compare prints. I bought a 6-pack of D50 800-lumen bulbs for my editing room lighting. Then, I was asked to take pictures at our town's Doughnuts with Santa event. So I bought a couple of softboxes that take four bulbs and used the Waveform bulbs. Worked great! It could have been a bit brighter, but I used ISO 640 and got great shots. My next purchase will be a 6-pack of 1600-lumen bulbs for the softboxes.

I looked at a lot of options. Most say nothing about spectral accuracy (let alone CRI). I spent a lot of money on my BenQ and my Epson P900 - why skimp on lighting? I am convinced these are the bulbs that are the lights for photographers who care about color management.

We appreciate the fast shipping of this product. The product is reliable and will continue to repurchase for future use.

When I compare The D50 (95 CRI, 60w, 800 Lumens, 5000k) bulb against the Philips Ultra Definition (CRI 95, 60w, 800 lumens, 5000k) bulb, both showing in a two-bulb light fixture, the difference is stark. On paper, they should be the same brightness in lumens, the same CRI value, and the same temperature, but in reality, the D50 is very noticeably brighter and shows better color on the art hanging beneath the light fixture. I had doubts about the higher expense, but I want to assure you it is worth it. The D50 is a far superior product and well worth the expense. When I made the comparison, I was shocked at how much better the D50 was. The bulb is not dimmable because it would adversely affect the color-matching feature of the bulb.

5 stars

I have been having trouble checking my black and white images for consistent printing results. Not any more this light works perfectly and just what I needed!
