5863

I am interested in one.

Thanks.

5864

Could we know the tint bin, please ?

5865

That is what I was waiting to be posted.

5866

I think I will take two of them, one of each emitter

5867

is tint bin that important for a light under 40$ ?

5868

My light had better be a CoolNeutralWarm White combo!

(I'm a tint snob that only wants imaginary tints.)

5869

Only if you turn them on !

5870

Nope, as long as it is a ā€˜Cool Neutralā€™ - True Neutral Whitetm XP-L HI below the BBLā€¦ā€¦ it is not important at all. :wink:

5871

true, neutral would be ideal for this light.

5872

I just thought of something...

This light is a triple.

There could be one emitter that's CW, one that's NW, and one that's WW.

Completely not worth doing, but it'll be the perfect tint!

5873

NO! :smiley:

5874

If I ever get the answer to that question, Iā€™ll be sure to post about it.

5875

Iā€™ve done that before. It can give quite good results if you use the right emitters.

Mixing and matching emitters is fun.

I have one of my Emisar D4 lights outputting 4500K color tint. Using two 4000K XPL HI and two 5000K XPL HI

5876

Beam shot?

5877

I mentioned this elsewhere recently, but it all goes well with the BLF Lantern, I could see a future flashlight mixing emitters on a board with separate channels for emitters for tint-ramping purposes. Form factor could be a D4 style light where each emitter has its own optic, or Iā€™d be curious if a closely clustered quad like Clemence does with E21Aā€™s could share the same floody optic for different color temperature emitters.

But the idea is not topical to the FW3A.

5878

Looks the same as a normal D4, but 4500K tint. The output from the different emitter overlaps completely and you just see one beam with the new mixed tint. You canā€™t really even see mixed emitters were used unless you turn it on moonlight and look at the emitters or shine it a wall or piece of paper a few inches away on very low power.

5879

Thank you. I wounder if it would work on 3 emitters.

Iā€™m interested in one. with 5000ish tint.(4500/5500)
Preferably SST 20.

Not interested in throw or spread.
itā€™s just a beautiful LOOKING light and Iā€™ll have one just to have it in my hand.
Iā€™ve got a zillion throwers and spreaders now.
Just looking for the extra nice ones nowadays.
Which this one definitely is. I hate the square ones. (D1/D4 etc)
