Recording the preference and trying to ship correct lights would probably end badly.
Seems that we can’t please everyone… BUT we can at least try to please most of you!
Would everyone on the lists please reply during the next 12h so that we can see which options are the most popular?
Current options (with my evaluations) are:
1 CREE 5000K
- slightly greenish tint
tint shift, green spill
—- 10 weeks lead time => probably impossible(!!)
2 Nichia 4000K
good tint
no significant tint shift
in stock (need to double check this!)
slightly better CRI than with CREE
- slightly less output than with CREE
warmer than promised 5000K (not bad IMO)
3 CREE 4500K
easier to source than #1 (stock status will be checked tomorrow)
slightly more output
- might be greenish?
- tint shift as bad as in 5000K version?
slightly warmer than promised 5000K
4 Nichia 5000K
better tint
no significant tint shift
real 5000K
slightly better CRI than with CREE
slightly less output than with CREE
+/- might be in stock (Wuben will check tomorrow)
5 Nichia 4500K
better tint
no significant tint shift
slightly better CRI than with CREE
- slightly less output than with CREE
slightly warmer than promised 5000K
+/- might be in stock (Wuben will check tomorrow)
So, please tell me which of the options you:
Love (= your personal preference(s))
Can live with (= you would still order and be fairly happy)
Dislike (= you would still order, but probably swap emitters as soon as you get the light)
Hate (= cancel your order and get refund)
1 Nichia 4000K
2 Nichia 4500K
3 Nichia 5000K
4 CREE 5000K - not going to wait 10 weeks…

1 Nichia 5000K
4 Nichia 4000K
4 Nichia 4500K
4 CREE 5000K – not going to wait 10 weeks
How do we go about refunds if we do decide to pull out?
1. Nichia 4500K (It seems to me that this is the best solution. Not too warm, not too cold.)
2. Nichia 5000K
2. Nichia 4000K
3. CREE 4500K
3. CREE 5000K (but 10 weeks !?)
Waiting to see what happens for now, a lot depends on how long the wait will be really.

1 Nichia 4000
2 Nichia 4500
2 Nichia 5000
I'll reconsider if none of the above.
XP-G3 5000K 90CRI or Nichia 5000k 90CRI.
Anything other then that I’ll have to withdraw.
1. Nichia 4500K
2. Nichia 5000K
3. Nichia 4000K
4. Cree 5000K
5. Cree 4500K
This order is based on the above options being true 90CRI, anything below and I’m not interested
1 - Nichia 5000K
2 - Nichia 4500k
3 - Nichia 4000k
4 - CREE 4500K
4 - CREE 5000k (for the delay….)
a) In any scenario, I will prefer High CRI over lower!
b) In any scenario, I will prefer more NW than WW tint! BUT, if Nichia 4000K is the final offer, I will gladly take it, for the flashlight and the emitters I ordered!
Thanks =the= for managing the situation and informing us :+1:

Here’s my vote:
Nichia 5000K = 1
Nichia 4500K = 1
Nichia 4000K = 2
CREE 4500K = 2
CREE 5000K = 2
Hopefully not too confusing. Either of the first two Nichias would be fabulous. For the Nichia 4000K and the CREEs, I’d rather have the light than not, so really it comes down to whichever is likely to be a guaranteed delivery.
