Optics, runtime modeling, and UI logic for headlamps and lanterns
About
Engineer-turned-field tester focused on beam geometry, candela-per-watt, and power plans that scale from solo overnights to 8-person camps.
Core Beliefs
Lighting works when it disappears—target tasks precisely, waste nothing, protect the sky.
Perspective
I favor measured output, narrow spill for tasks, warm CCT for social zones, and standardized cells.
