To simulate daylight with clear sky (sun overhead) you want a white light in the 5000-6500 K range.

Yeah, see, that's what they say, and the color range of the supposed 'daylight' bulbs is anything but. They are obnoxiously bright, but in a LED flashlight way and not the backyard patio table at lunch kinda way.


The meat department uses those same bulbs but in actaul daylight, the meat looks entirely different.

I like the $55 one if I have to get one.

You can get a dimmable light and some can adjust the color temperature.

In any case, the pH test is the only test where the light is going to help a lot.

The CYA test can also be helped with a good light source.

Adjustable Brightness: Adjust LED light panel brightness from 1% to 100% for enhanced control.

Works great as an LED light for photography, or as camera lighting for video recording for YouTube.

Adjustable Color Temperature: Flicker free LED panel light with adjustable color temp from 3200K to 5600K.

I need a good light source for my TikTok dance videos, this one should be a good choice.

Daylight is free. I walk outside, if testing inside, or get off my rear and walk onto the pool deck to compare colors on the pH comparator. I normally do the CH test on the patio so I can see the distinct color change to blue. If testing in the house, I place the 3 x 5 card that came with the K-2006c behind the speedstir to see the other colors.

If I just had to spend a $1,000 on something, hmmmm...

I just have a cut-off piece of white melamine coated plywood in my storage box that stands nicely behind the smartstir when testing.

I do my testing in Utility room, so I will change my bulbs to match the Daylight,
Thanks
