About
I lead our comparative bench, mapping desk-level lux, uniformity (U0), flicker (PstLM/SVM), and arm ergonomics to real workflows like dual-monitor deep work.
Core Beliefs
Lighting is a performance tool; uniform, flicker-stable illumination beats raw lumens.
Background
A week of night deadlines ended with a migraine under a '1200-lumen' lamp. I taped a grid across my desk, logged lux and flicker at each square, and found harsh peaks with valleys of shadow. Swapping to a uniform, low-flicker arm cut errors and kept my focus till midnight.
