I’m pretty sure we’ve never seen a 219C 4500K in a flashlight ever. Are you sure it’s even possible to source this? I realize it’s in the datasheet but sometimes finding these in the wild are like a unicorn.
Datasheet might not be up to date.
I don’t know if spec are corrects but RovyVon : The Aurora A6 has a 4500K tint and a CRI of at least 90 thanks to the Nichia 219C R9050 LED.
There has never been 119C/219C 4500K R9050 since it was born and (soon) gone. If there was 4500K R9050, then I must have brought them to BLF. Unless there are special bin which is very unlikely to happen.
Ah I never thought of this because R8000 to R9050 is quite a difference. This is the beauty of having a Spectrophotometer :+1:
I really should start saving for one.
For $250 I was able to get a used ColorMunki Photo. It is an entry level model that uses the same sensor as some of the higher X-Rite models. It also goes by the name i1Studio but that model generally costs a bit more. Given your location it may be harder to source a good price used one but worth looking at.
I know myself and 1 or 2 other forum members who use this hardware. I documented some of my early experience with it here and maukka was very helpful in his replies as well:
I bought a modded light from Contactr and my measurements using the Sekonic C-800-U is pretty much the same as what he got with the ColorMunki Photo. I guess the only advantage of a portable dedicated spectrometer is that it is so easy to use and that it is portable and you can take it to your bedroom, living room, outdoors, to a store, etc.
Yes the downside is with mine you are tether to a device of some kind. PC/laptop/phone/tablet.
If you want something like the sekonic output you need $99 mobile app to get close.
It’s more of a color calibration tool stock but Argyll software brings that ambient sensor to life instead of Sekonic being portable and out of box suitable for ambient light.
