In this video, we take a closer look at two popular desktop print viewing lights – the Kaiser LED Desktop Viewing Light and the Calibrite GrafiLite – and explore why proper lighting is essential when evaluating your photographic prints.

📸 Whether you're a professional photographer, a fine art printer, or just passionate about accurate colour reproduction, having the right viewing light makes all the difference. We compare both models side by side, examining:

✅ Colour temperature
✅ Build quality & design
✅ Ease of use
✅ Value for money
✅ How each performs in a real-world print evaluation setup

🖨️ Consistent lighting is key to a colour-managed workflow, especially when soft proofing or comparing prints to a calibrated screen. Discover which light might be best for your setup and how it can help ensure your prints look their best in any lighting condition.
