Maukka tested limited samples from single lots that Clemence ordered, and Clemence seems like he has a good connection somewhere in Nichia’s distribution chain to be able to consistently source hard-to-find emitters. So what Maukka tested might tell us very little about the tints of whatever lots Sofirn might get.
I’d recommend people just figure out what color temperatures they want. Bare minimum, the E21A is available in a wide range of CCT’s with stellar CRI. I would be careful about assuming what the DUV will be.
That said, I think Ryzbor is correct that the highest output bins, like D240 at 5000K, are more likely to have an unfavorable tint versus the next output bin down.
Would also prefer an AA version of it.
L-M-H driver, no mode memory, 4500K and 2000K without any green (slight rosy is fine).
I really like the Jetbeam MK-1 but hate the cool white emitter in it.
I also prefer to get rid of the holes for magnet and trit and make it compact as possible.
AAA lights are fine for in the house but not for taking outside in my opinion…
My light for in the house is a copper A01 in 5 anni version of the Italian forum, rosy 219b, very good mode spacing (Manker marked driver).
