[6500K] This is such an amazing device. I have it on all my monitors, and I'm buying it for the 3rd or 4th time because I include this strip when selling my used monitors. It helps a lot in maintaining the white point and brightness level at the right spot for color grading. I highly recommend it.

[1x A19 LED Lamp] It's a piece of plastic that fits the monitor perfectly and does what it's supposed to do.

[800] I upgraded my home editing setup to include a neutral gray surround for color grading. A little research led me to this product and it has proven to be a great choice.

The lights are D65 and high CRI (the key factors). Additionally, they are dimmable, though I honestly doubt I will ever use them below their full strength. The light reflected off the wall isn't super-bright, but that's correct (and comfortable) for bias lighting. Because these are strip lights (as opposed to some bars or tubes that I looked at), If you wanted a brighter surround for a smaller area (one or two monitors), you could double up the strip as needed. Similarly, where my monitors are not all the same distance from the wall (due to angles and corners), I was able to even out the brightness along the wall by mounting the strip on the back of the monitors in one place and on the monitor support arm (closer to the wall) in others. I considered adding some kind of diffusion, but I found that the large quantity of LEDs does a reasonable job of spreading the light.

The sensor (receiver "eye") for the remote control is on a short pigtail, which meant that even though I wanted all cables out of sight, I was able to have that part poke around the front so the remote control can see it - and the remote works quite reliably.

Just for fun, I tried some other power sources and dimmers, none of which worked. I recommend using the Medialight as designed with the included components.

Considering that the least expensive strip light on Amazon is around $20 (and the light from that product is terrible (in both color and brightness), the Medialight price is pretty easy to justify.

[8 W] Fits like it should and does what it's supposed to do.

[120°] The snaps that are included with this make installing it super secure. Much better than most hoods I've used.

[8 W] Well made and not overpriced.

[800] Well engineered with solid snaps for the side and a rain (drizzle) plastic guard for the back. This is probably the best sun hood that I've used on any monitor which is good because the DM240 is very dim and this sun hood is essential for daylight viewing.

[8 W] Quality product. If you are serious about color accuracy across your equipment from monitor/ambient/print review, this is a necessary part of the solution. I installed this bulb in a architect lamp with a Lutron dimmer. I now have an absolutely reliable light source to evaluate the accuracy of my photo prints. Makes a huge difference.

[CRI 98] High quality product, well worth the premium price. Easy to
install, even left the 65 TV on its wall bracket while installing.
Cleaned the back of the cabinet with alcohol, then installed. Great adhesive, and corners were easy to make the 90 degree turns. Lights are very bright, remote works great as well for adjusting brightness. The included adhesive cable clips came in handy for keeping wiring neat and tidy. Highly recommended! Thanks MediaLight!

[E26] I ordered the GoPlug Power Bank knowing it would come in handy sooner or later. Just a few days after receiving it, I found out that we had to shoot a driving scene at the end of a long day and I needed to come up with a solution to power a Sony card reader so that I could offload the data on the long ride back to basecamp. The GoPlug Power Bank did the trick with lots of charge to spare.
