@ToyKeeper

The plan is to make a poll for it.

I wanted to do a Condorcet-style poll for emitter family and another one for color temperature, but people thought that was too complicated. They might be right. Besides, BLF doesn’t have a way to do that kind of poll, unless it has a very small number of options.

Me, I’m hoping for XP-L HI in 3D or maybe 4A. That would cost an extra $10-$12 though, significantly raising the price of the light. All the other options are cheaper but have some sort of technical downside… like poor beam quality on XP-G3, extreme heat on 219c, or significantly reduced output on XP-G2.

If it doesn’t have that as an option, I’ll probably just mod one how I like… assuming I can find the emitters. Nobody has 3D or 4A in stock lately. Maybe I could get close enough with two 3A and one 5D, or two 5D and one 1A.

I tried mixing emitters on a quad XPG a long time ago and it didn’t work as well as I’d hoped. It seemed to combine the worst aspects of each emitter instead of averaging them. Have you done this successfully?

As for the poll, why not make 2 separate polls, one for tint, one for emitter?

As for tint I’ve tried everything from 3500K to 6500K out in the forest at night. No matter what the claimed CRI, 4000 and below made things hard to distinguish, especially browns. Pine cones and poop piles looked identical.

5000 and up produced a lot of diffuse bounce so that moss on solid ground looked identical to moss over scattered branches. Using a 5000K light resulted in a nasty fall in that situation.

4500 and below let me see past the moss to the branches and ground below and would have kept me from falling. 4500 and below also cuts through fog for the same reason.

That’s why I always request 4500.

I’m interested in one. I’m not expecting a reply but I haven’t seen my post show up. This is my 3rd time trying. So if the other 2 show up I only want one. Thanks.

Your name was added many months ago. Check post #1. You asked for 2 lights and where put down at #752 and #753.

Your under no obligation to buy, so if you decide you only want one, that’s okay.

[Firelight2]

I prefer 4000k or 4500K. I find 5000K to be to cool.

The 4000K XPL HI 5D in the Emisar D4 is excellent.

Totally agree with that choice, but somehow the Emisar Neutral White - XP-G2 S4 5D, 4000K has the tint of pink that nicha 219b lovers like. So get some of their resources on those. Better heat management and output than the nichia 219c.

Had 3 of the Neutral White - XP-G2 S4 5D, 4000K so far and all had that pinkish tint.

… because people thought it was too complicated?

Kinda tempted to do it anyway though, if no one else does.

Sounds like our preferences are pretty close.

Yes, once on a BST and also a less-wide config on a D4.

wide-spectrum Blackshadow Terminator mod

I love a good tint. The Nichia 219 gets very accurate color rendition, and most of my favorite lights use it. But I wanted something even better… so I built a wide-spectrum light. The theory is that, while high-CRI shows accurate color, wide-spectrum should show vivid color. Here’s the host I used for this experiment: [image] I had already altered it slightly, adding DC-Fix (sand) to the lenses to make the beam smoother and floodier. If you mod the emitters though, I recommend doing that first…

My XP-L (domed) 4000k-ish emitter in the UT01 is also very rosy. Even if it isn’t high CRI, I can totally live with that if the beam is consistent and the tint on the rosy side of the black body line.

[lionheart_2281]

Love the idea for a poll for both emitter and tint.

I’m a big fan of the Q8 tint

Sorry, I posted that on the wrong thread. No wonder I didn’t see it.

Also, @Toykeeper, any of the 4s work for me.

[patchythepirate]

Could you put me down for a second light? I’m loving the look of this things and will definitely need two.

ToyKeeper, are there any lights or drivers being sold that use Andúril?

I really like the q8 too. One of my q8 seems slightly cooler than the other and it’s my favorite. Not a fan of the 4000k gt emitter, but to each his own.

ToyKeeper, are there any lights or drivers being sold that use Andúril?

Nope, not yet. I think the FW3A will probably be the first.

It seems like there should be by now though. I’ve been using it for at least 6 months.

[joechina]

If Toykeeper has no super stealth project running, I think there is no lamp with Andúril out there.

But for the driver you can ask RMM or Lexcel if they flash Andúril on one off their boards.

Ups, TK was quicker while I was typing

My XP-L (domed) 4000k-ish emitter in the UT01 is also very rosy. Even if it isn’t high CRI, I can totally live with that if the beam is consistent and the tint on the rosy side of the black body line.

I have 3 UT01 delivered january and february 2017 and they are all unfortuantely very greenish. When and where did you buy yours?

My favorite looking tint is the XP-L 4000k 5D tint on the Emisar D4. It is very nice neutral rosy tint with no yellow or green. The Emisar D4 XP-L 5000k 3D tint had a bit of magenta and a hint of blue. It was too cold for me. I think 4000k on the rosy side of the BBL would be perfect for this small EDC light.
