I started with 5000k, then to 4500k and 4000k, then into 4500k and 4000k HI CRI and now I’m into 2700k to 3000k HI CRI for night time use, which matches interior lighting.
But wait a minute. It was said that the switch was unchanged, and all I do is looking at pictures (but that is a very BLF thing to base opinions on ), but I think that I notice that the switch has changed, it seems to sit a bit deeper. Is this really so and does it matter as far as pocket activation is concerned?
Here’s a pic from TK’s review of the D4 last year and one of the pics of the D4V2 above:
Edit: looking at those pictures again, and I do not see that much difference after all, carry on
Did you get the regular or the faster shipping? I’m also from the UK and I purchased one the day it became available, so I’m excited at the possibility that it might be arriving any time soon.
What? Yes its yellow but I find the tint to be excellent. Not as nice as a more rosy warm Cree LED but the higher CRI makes it much better for me. And you really have to directly compare it to notice the difference in tint. Unlike the red color objects that really pops-up with the better CRI.
It goes very well with the ‘’chinese golden dragon’’ body color.
I have the same LEDs in the D4S and there is more yellow while the D4v2 is more orange with much less green tint. (maybe its from the AR coating or a different tint bin)
To my eyes the green tint is just barely noticeable, even on a white wall. Unless you directly compare them.
This light is almost perfect and its fun to play with the different modes and multicolor LEDs.
