Hello there,
Great release.

I'm trying to get my head around the emiters, I've notice that the power number is proportional to the temperature. Is it correct? at 6500K 1 power unit emits light, but If I move the temperature slider to the left side, I have to proportionally encrese the power, and if I go to the right side I have to decreese it. Like you can see on the attachment.

Is this correct? Also on the power unit... that unit is that? Lm? Lux?

I had understood differently : The temperature defines the color of the light, and the power is related to the "size" of the source.

You can have a big powerful lamp with a low color temperature.
