Theater Light

Ok so back in the day, say 6 yrs ago, when I first put together my home theater, I bought one of these.


It's an ideal-lume standard 6500k video bias light.

So what the hell does that mean, you ask??

Well, it means it's specially calibrated to open your iris to a very specific degree, which makes everything you watch much more realistic and color-accurate. It's what video editors use to color-correct everything.

They are excellent. They're placed behind whatever type of monitor you use, and completely remove eye-strain, and also make it much nicer to watch stuff in a darkened room.

So why am I talking about this?? Well, my old one died, about a year ago. It had a good run, and then just gave up. I never replaced it, because I was in the middle of buying a house/saving for trips/ and spending my money on everything else.

I finally ordered one this week!! Hooray!! As a bonus, this time, I'll get to mount it on the wall behind my set (last time I was in a rented house, didn't want to drill holes), so it will work even better!

I'm planning to tie it into my power conditioner/protector, a Pure AV60 , and set it up so it can be switched on with the power switch on the front.

If this all works out, it's gonna be sweet.
