I don't know enough about lighting, but if I bought five of these, would I reach 50,000 lumens? Is it just additive? This would cost $250.

Also, if you've ever been in a Walmart or Forever 21 at night, you'll know that constant LED white light is probably not the best thing for your eyes.



Yes. But it would look ugly, and does not have "smart" features.

whether or not it's worth it depends on user.


generally it's the opposite. people need a lot more light. an overcast window is like 50k+ lumens while a light bulb is like 500 lumens.

lack of light is generally the leading hypothesis for why there is a myopia epidemic actually. from people being indoors most of the time for school or work.

though unfortunately scientists are still researching if it is a specific frequency of light etc... people are missing
