The app pairs with an optional tunable LED desk lamp to create a consistent, calibrated workspace, eliminating guesswork in color-critical tasks.

Key Features

Real-time Kelvin measurement via smartphone camera and calibration card
Recommendation engine for optimal lighting setup (desk lamp vs ceiling replacement)
Integration with tunable LED lamp for automatic adjustment
Workspace profile saving for repeatable conditions

Target Users: Freelance and studio-based photo retouchers, digital artists, and printmakers who need precise ambient lighting for color-critical work.

Revenue Model: $49 one-time for the calibration card + app; $199 for the tunable LED lamp bundle; $9.99/mo premium subscription for cloud profiles and team sharing.
