I’m a CW (6000k or +) fan myself and I purchased the GT fully knowing it will come with a 4000k emitter. I figured if I didn’t like it, I can learn to swap it out or send it to someone who can (for a fee of course).
To be honest, I am happy with what I see on the stock GT. Its freaking awesome! To everyone who is waiting for their GT and is suddenly shocked to know it ships with a 4000k orange/yellow/urine/warm/neutral color LED, I say don’t judge it before you try it.
As teacher said, to me VoB’s video (and nodoubts screenshots of said vids) shows a chilly shade of CW for his prototype GT and a sinister shade of NW for the production GT. More specifically, this is what I see with my eyes on my S7 with a cracked screen. This may not be what anyone else sees with their eyes and their equipment and this video may very well not even be the most accurate color representation of what VoB actually recorded due to a number of different factors including the possibility that he wasn’t expecting his video to be the topic of color comparisons.
Seriously, we are already winners for getting this light at such a good price. Get it, try it, and then see if it is or isn’t for you.
BTW, VoB I’m not taking a shot at you nor your video(s). You and mhanlen crank out some really interesting content!
