Support Light & Matter

Here at Light & Matter, we never accept payment or goods in exchange for positive reviews. We don’t publish “sponsored posts”, and don’t have sponsorship from any manufacturers. We do not accept editorial input or limitations from manufacturers on product reviews.

All reviews are as unbiased as we can possibly make them, and we try to show you why we come to our conclusions, rather than asking you to accept our word alone.

Light & Matter is supported by commission from affiliate sales and Google/YouTube ads. We are Amazon Associates, as well as affiliates with B&H Photo and Adorama, among others, and we will earn a commission for qualifying purchases made through our links. It won’t cost you a thing, and it will help support quality, un-biased reviews and journalism.
