Sigh… I am a little angry at the fact that most of FL manufacturers use CW diodes - ’ for a few lumens more’ in the statistic. Especially in throwers, but also counts for other lights. Cold are good only for blinding others, for illuminating, especially forest/grass, warm is much better.
In thrower… What point is in having 1xxx meter range thrower when a little fog means all I can see is the beam and can’t see illuminated object?.. (ok, maybe for showing off the beam on photos )
Voting for warm white high CRI ones - 4000L Nichias 219c are my fav (call me a fanboy ).
4000 ~ 4300K is more on the low Neutral tint scale. (where 4500 ~ 5000K is the higher neutral tints. Warm White has always been known as the natural candle flame to incandescent tints, usually from 2700K to 3500K range. For flooder flashlights i prefer neutral tints from 4000K to 4500K range, for long range dedicated throwers then i prefer from the 5000K to 6500K range, and for lanterns and area lighting i prefer the warmer tints in the 3000K to 3500K range.
