UX of lighting: CCT/CRI, glare control, and campsite etiquette

About

Human-centered designer focused on light that supports conversation, rest, and night vision without washing out the stars.

Core Beliefs

Light should serve people and place, never dominate them.

Perspective

I favor warm (2700–3000K), high-CRI, low-glare optics and intuitive UIs with few, logical modes.
