What lighting are you reviewing prints with?

I recently noticed that these Colorchecker Graflites are quite cheap at b&h-- does anybody have any experience with these/could possibly take measurements of the spectra?

Right now I'm using an old GTI lightbox that I retrofitted with LED strips, but it doesn't have different color temperatures and I like how little space these things take up

Nothing to to write home about. It's way better to get any video LED lamp with variable CCT, at least they are brighter and can also be used as power bank

I prefer natural light. I have a table by a window.

How does that work at night or under varying weather conditions?

Thanks Czornyj--  that actually looks fairly decent, but I'll stick with my retrofitted gti box for now.  Might be a good gift/recommendation though at $100.  Video LED lamps are good and all, but for the whole package with a stand that just works it measures better than I thought it would.

Well, obviously I wait till morning. I’m not printing for a magazine where I need precise color matching. These are prints that need to pass my aesthetic standards, not a color chart.

Yes, obviously. Maybe this will help next time an obvious question is posted. 🤪

Hey, I know this may sound strange but I have a weakness of the old incandescendent lightbulbs, and halogens. I have heard the still make quite a few of them. I'm perfectly aware they have a low K, but spiky they ain't.
