Im learning that in actual use, even Low CRI can show relative colors in a useful way. The two samples on the right are both Low CRI.
FWIW, Im finding the wide beam of the Utorch to be Outstanding for my close range, indoor needs. You can see it does not produce any glare or hotspot in the image.
here the bottom right CW light is replaced with the N219b worm, you can see its hotspot is more problematic, and even though the Red pops, it is not necessarily the closest match to the natural light.
I also tested the Utorch S1 Mini NW as a wake in the dark for a toilet break. It works great, and does not look yellow in use.
Im super happy with the Utorch, and for my uses indoors, and as a headlamp for hand work, its wide beam is the most useful, for me.
If I was a bicyclist or motorist, stuck in the dark with a flat tire to fix, I would want the Utorch more than the Olight, because the Utorch beam is so consistent and broad. With the other lights, the hotspot forces me to keep sweeping my head to move the glare off the work.
Two Thumbs up on the Utorch S1 Mini for close headlamp use.
fwiw, there is also a Klarus with the same beam, although the modes may differ. For example the Moon may be brighter. I favor the extra low Moon of the Utorch.
One thing I dont like, is that the Utorch will not memorize Moonlight, but, I can get to it with the press and hold shortcut. I dont like that turning the Utorch off requires a long press, I wish it had the Click on Click off UI of the Olight.
No perfect light, which is why we all have more than one. Hang on to your wallet!
