Great info everyone - thank you! Yes - I love the orange/yellow tint and even run my laptop on the 2700k setting using f.lux. So I’m definitely getting the 7A. I want low, but I just can’t conceptualize how low is too low. I’m not looking for major output. I’ve pretty much already decided my next light will be the BLF A6 with the 3D tint.
This light is going to be for indoor use only. Its a bit hard to convey, but basically, I have 4 young kids who manage to leave things out, leave attic lights on, leave basement lights, etc., etc. Add to that, I’m often up in the middle of the night or get up really early.
elwood - thank you! I’ll be getting the battery you recommended. I have seen the info from those two links. In fact, I was trying to use the chart to calculate the lumen output against the settings on the new Biscotti driver, but am not having any luck - bad at math, too new, who knows?! I wish the comparison table with Bin and Driver were updated with the new driver options.
LenZ “…“moonlight” is really, really dim. Virtually useless, IMHO, except for not stumbling over something in the dark.” Not stumbling over something in the dark is exactly my goal! And shutting off lights in basement/attic (big sodium lights with a pull string, which leaves me in the dark on the way back). And I want to do all that without waking anyone up.
