Can I use an architect lamp for video calls?

Yes — position the head above and slightly behind your monitor for even face lighting without screen glare. Choose a 4000-5000K color temperature for natural skin tones on camera.

How tight should the spring tension be?

Tight enough to hold position when you let go, loose enough to adjust with one hand. Most architect lamps have tension screws at the arm joints for fine-tuning over time.
