Unfortunately, the XHP70.2 4000k 80+CRI was a group buy special and is no longer available. I ordered a 4000k and a 5000k version from the GB and I liked the 4000k version SOOOOoooo much more even though the 5000k version measured much brighter. I gave the 5000k version away as a gift.
I think this is the first and last time you will find this beautiful HI CRI emitter in a high powered flashlight. It’s unfortunate but manufacturers tend to not go below 5000k. The other hi CRI hi lumen light is the Astrolux MF01, which is crap because of the UI and the turbo mode only last 30s and steps down drastically unlike the more useful MT09R, which can maintain high lumens much longer. I also don’t like the 5000k tint on the 219C. I think 219C is more on the yellow/green side in general whereas 219b is more neutral/rosy.
Having a bright wall of HI CRI in a lumen monster light like the DX80 and X80 would be one of a kind awesome especially for things like photography but not going to happen.
Thanks, but I’m a bit confused, that link is showing a Mfg # XHP70B-01-0000-0D0HM440G
but the closest I could find on the Cree data sheet was Mfg XHP70B-00-0000-0D0HM440G
The difference being the “01” in the second group of numbers.
But the only number codes I could find (on a ship label in the photograph) was: XHP70B-0-5C0-P20-D0-B-01 which doesn’t seem to match any numbers I can find on the Cree spec sheets.
