What combination of dual LED for AA Flashlight do you prefer?

NW+UV because someone paid me.

Oh, is that all it takes? A little bribery? :smiling_imp:

Are any of you guys who voted for NW + Red able to be bribed? I donā€™t have much money, but I could send you a cheap flashlight that I have lying around. :stuck_out_tongue:

Put it this way I prefer red for times when I need night dilated vision preserved, be it hunting or otherwise. Although the red light itself is not used for spotting/targeting gameā€¦ the actual act of hunting / killing.

One thing I find about extended exposure to red light is it tint shifts my vision-color spectrum. Just a few minutes of red light is all it takes. It makes me temporarily extra sensitive to white and green light, until my vision re-adjusts back. Its like getting a little OTF lumen boost.

Maybe we should do a group study on the use of red ledā€™s.

I have owned several RED led flashlights and headlamps.

I now own NONE, make that one.

EDIT-my nitecore NU30 has red leds, and my EOS has red lense

Please keep me posted! =)

Iā€™d prefer CRI90+ NW (4500K) as primary.

Secondaries could be (preference order as follows):
a) something very low CCT (~ultra warm) White (max. 2000K, but 1300K would be even better)
b) Amber (not the monochrome, Cree XP-E2 has PC-Amber (PC = phosphor converted), which means a bit more diverse spectrum, but it has better efficiency, if I remember it right)
c) UV
d) Red (Cree XP-E2 has ā€˜Far redā€™ beyond 700nm, too)

It needs to be lacking any pronounced hotspot, should flood well.

NW (high CRI, of course) + red

Let us know when itā€™s out :wink:

Sure, will update here once itā€™s out. :wink:

Sorry brud, I canā€™t ever think of buying a cool or warm LED lamp since Iā€™ve seen the light through neutral white :sunglasses:

The PS14 is now available. Check it out MecArmy PS14 Dual Emitter EDC Flashlight

Nice ! But too bad the ā€œNeutral white + Redā€ version, which got the most votes, didnā€™t make it to production. NW + Cool sounds redundant.

Also, how many modes are there, and with how many lumens per mode ?

The ā€œNeutral white + Redā€ will be available in next batches, the first batch is NW+CW.
And there are 5 modes, Turbo, high, medium, low, and strobe. And highest output is 1200 lumens when two leds working together.

Neutral White + UV = 27 votes
Neutral White + Red = 31 votes
Neutral White + Cool White = 8 votes

And which one did they make first? :person_facepalming:

EDIT: Iā€™ll say this again, too: NW + CW is not such a good duality anyway. It should have been WARM + COOL anyway, for a better spectrum. :person_facepalming:

Subscribed. Awaiting Neutral + Red version.

Preferably Cree Photo Red 670nm ā€” deeper red than usual red LEDs. Better for preserving night-adapted vision.

Vote for Neutral white + Red. And some of my best aa flashlight list Best AA Flashlight 2018 ā€“ List of Top 10!

Hahahahah,classic fake-carring about customer opinion to validate their decision after the product is already developed

Yeah. Thatā€™s how it seems to me too. Itā€™s also got a very high price, and IMHO completely unjustified. I really donā€™t know what they were thinking. Oh well.

Sorry, if I am negative, butā€¦

$89.90 MSRP might be considered as reasonable for the Titanium version, but for the Aluminum version, definitely not.

Also, there is no CRI ratings for the emitters (and I donā€™t expect good performance here, because it is XP-L, and XP-L has 80CRI emitters only up to 4000K CCT, and 90CRI only up to 3000K CCT - the CW emitter is probably a 70CRI one). This should be within $8.
I think, driver is also not too complicated, maybe an additional $8-12.
The USB rechargeable battery maybe adds another $6-10.

We have still $60-68 for flashlight bodyā€¦

One might consider 1pcs WW + 1pcs CW Jaxman E3 instead :person_facepalming:

New info on this thread:

BTW, the optional coulours of this are awesome.
But the price and eventually the UIā€¦ :person_facepalming:
