What combination of dual LED for AA Flashlight do you prefer?

:smiling_imp: Evil U :smiley: :sunglasses:

No, I wouldn’t. Green has the opposite effect as red. Green dialtes eyesight more readily than red.

I was going with the hypothesis that everyone who voted for red was voting for it to be a hunting light. Since the design of the light itself will make it not good for hunting, I supposed that those people might choose another LED combo that they’d like that would be useful with this light design.

Too much to expect from this crowd? Maybe. :stuck_out_tongue:

I voted Neutral/Red. That said, the dream dual emitter for me would be a high CRI 4500K / Amber.

It will come available later this month. :wink:

NW+UV because someone paid me.

Oh, is that all it takes? A little bribery? :smiling_imp:

Are any of you guys who voted for NW + Red able to be bribed? I don’t have much money, but I could send you a cheap flashlight that I have lying around. :stuck_out_tongue:

Put it this way I prefer red for times when I need night dilated vision preserved, be it hunting or otherwise. Although the red light itself is not used for spotting/targeting game… the actual act of hunting / killing.

One thing I find about extended exposure to red light is it tint shifts my vision-color spectrum. Just a few minutes of red light is all it takes. It makes me temporarily extra sensitive to white and green light, until my vision re-adjusts back. Its like getting a little OTF lumen boost.

Maybe we should do a group study on the use of red led’s.

I have owned several RED led flashlights and headlamps.

I now own NONE, make that one.

EDIT-my nitecore NU30 has red leds, and my EOS has red lense

Please keep me posted! =)

I’d prefer CRI90+ NW (4500K) as primary.

Secondaries could be (preference order as follows):
a) something very low CCT (~ultra warm) White (max. 2000K, but 1300K would be even better)
b) Amber (not the monochrome, Cree XP-E2 has PC-Amber (PC = phosphor converted), which means a bit more diverse spectrum, but it has better efficiency, if I remember it right)
c) UV
d) Red (Cree XP-E2 has ‘Far red’ beyond 700nm, too)

It needs to be lacking any pronounced hotspot, should flood well.

NW (high CRI, of course) + red

Let us know when it’s out :wink:

Sure, will update here once it’s out. :wink:

Sorry brud, I can’t ever think of buying a cool or warm LED lamp since I’ve seen the light through neutral white :sunglasses:

The PS14 is now available. Check it out MecArmy PS14 Dual Emitter EDC Flashlight

Nice ! But too bad the “Neutral white + Red” version, which got the most votes, didn’t make it to production. NW + Cool sounds redundant.

Also, how many modes are there, and with how many lumens per mode ?

The “Neutral white + Red” will be available in next batches, the first batch is NW+CW.
And there are 5 modes, Turbo, high, medium, low, and strobe. And highest output is 1200 lumens when two leds working together.

Neutral White + UV = 27 votes
Neutral White + Red = 31 votes
Neutral White + Cool White = 8 votes

And which one did they make first? :person_facepalming:

EDIT: I’ll say this again, too: NW + CW is not such a good duality anyway. It should have been WARM + COOL anyway, for a better spectrum. :person_facepalming:

Subscribed. Awaiting Neutral + Red version.

Preferably Cree Photo Red 670nm — deeper red than usual red LEDs. Better for preserving night-adapted vision.
