Where the numbers come from
The guide only states what the day's catalog shows: each number comes from the reading on 06/11/2026, and the median is for lights with the data.
The guide helps you decide and doesn’t recommend a light for you: the final price is the one at the store, and the spec score doesn’t measure how bright the room feels or how well it is made or durability.
