I would love you guys input on what led to use for a edc for work , I would like it to throw a bit bit bit also be a nice colour for checking inside machines at parts that need to fix etc
Machine is a production line and I need to see inside glass windows , to the back of the machine is about 30 cm , I’d like to show off a bit with the guys so a longish throw , wideness doesn’t to be massive
I’m open to suggestions and what different leds would produce
I would go with warm colors too. Makes colors appear more genuine. I actually like warm tints now. A XP-L with 5A bin is really nice too. Vermilion Red and light Orangy look. Super relaxing light. Vermilion Red is sorta Orange with hints or light red
By inside glass windows do you mean through glass. I have found that throwers are best for seeing through glass unless you are up in the high lumen flooder category. The S2+ with XPL high will give you pretty decent throw for a tube light. You can always add DF or TIR later if you decide you want a more even beam. I’m currently using a TIR in mine and loving it.
NOT NOT NOT behind a reflector, though. G3s are Pure Evil, with the absolute worst angular tint-shift I’ve ever seen.
If you don’t mind a horrendous fried-egg beam with hideous urine-yellow corona, have at it. But even as a mule, you can see hideous tint-shift from center to edge.
