If you look at the first choice, though, there are four votes currently. Someone might be thinking of a dual cool/warm led combo that has the two contributing to the same beam, and the ability to adjust the mix to get just the right level of “neutral” to match their preference.
Edit: I know the choice is “Cool plus Neutral” but I think “Cool plus Warm” is what would make my idea work, and probably what others are thinking as well when they see that as a choice for a “dual LED” setup.
If the light was supposed to function with both leds working at the same time, I would mark “Cold + Neutral” so that we could have a “balanced” beam (despite it would probably be more on the Cold white).
However, as it is supposed to have different leds not working together, I guess most people here will prefer Neutral instead of Cold white.
If, as DavidEF said, you offered CW + Warm White working together it was possible that more people choose the CW version as well.
I’ve been seing the project that you’re developing and it is quite nice.
But the decisions on the types of LEDs, their tints and the user interface will be crucial for this project to work and to be a real winner! My point…
I think it would be helpful to have a bit more info about the light you’re designing. Emitter choice might depend on form factor and intended use of the light.
+ 1 here The initial design of this light (with side switch) was more appealing for me, but it was changed! Now, this led choices…let’s see where it ends!
I guess that they have all the opportunity to make a classy, appealing, well designed and powerfull flashlight (the first numbers were about 1000lumens), with a nice (programmable ?) user interface!
I’m not sure where this will end, but I’m still interested to know! There is room to innovation, and for a nice build on this light
Night vision preservation… any application really where I need to see and I do not want to dilate my eyes. Hunting would be included in that as well as night hiking, backpacking, camping.
Both LEDs can work independently as well as together (Two LEDs are illuminating). And max lumens (2 LEDs working) with 14500 powered is about 1400 lumens.
