It looks much less warm in person, like I have said many times, it looks like a small sun. The white balance on those pictures is biased towards CW, which is why the results look like they do.
Pretty sure that DB has said he uses a 5500k or 6000k WB in the past. So it is pretty obvious that 6500k will show up better then 4000k.
A camera really can’t see things like this the way the human eye can. Just keep an open mind and wait to try it yourself before judging.
Out of all the comments I have seen so far, around 60-70% have liked the tint, ~15-20% have been in the “not what I am used to but it might grow on me” camp and the remaining 15-20% have wanted a different tint.
I am perfectly happy with the approval results so far, we knew from the very start we would not please everyone, even if we had got the 3D tint we wanted there would be those wanting both warmer and cooler.
Offering multiple tints would have made this already complicated GB unberablely complicated. I am so glad we did not offer multiple tints, I can just see all the complaints of people getting the wrong tint rolling in now.
That is why we made the light easily moddable.
Don’t like it? Then mod it to what you like.
Personally I still love the stock tint in the real world and even on a white wall. It really does look like a small sun. No green at all as well, which I have had issues with 3D having a Green hue before.
