I’m an LED lighting hobbyist from Southeast Asia. Before I joined this forum, I have modded a few flashlights (cheap ones made in china) before. I’m currently into high-powered high CRI lighting with the tint between the Neural White and Cool White, particularly if I can have one for cheap. I have recently been shopping around with Chinese vendor from Aliexpress, and more recently Alibaba. I’ll be mostly here to see CRI testings.
Hey how are you doing man? And welcome to BLF! I’m sure you’re familiar with the Noctigon Meteor M43. It currently costs $98, and you can get it with Nichia 5000K 219C 90+ CRI. Many say it’s a bit on the cool side of neutral white, so it may be just what you like.
That’s sure to be one heck of a flashlight. However, $30 is my cut-off price range, and I have recently splurged quite a few dollars on Jaxman E3, and quite a bit more on 30w COBs (from Alibaba, I made a thread on Dealer Experiences there) for upcoming projects. So, there will be quite some time until wallet recovers itself. :money_mouth_face:
