āWhite balanceā can also be considered to be happening in real life when your eyes adapt to ambient light: From the earlier samples, I have swapped the 10r emitters to Nichia 4000K and left the 46r to CREE 5000K. Indoors, with eyes adapted to halogen light below 3000K, I tend to grab the 10r. BUT outdoors I feel itās way too yellow to me and grab the 46r instead.
.
Iāll have to see how I like Wubenās 2-button switch, Iāve used another similar 2-button light and the switch is a little hard to press and just doesnāt feel as nice as a single button switch, but it is more convenient with the separate mode functions.
What I really like is the G18ās compact size compared to the longer and chunkier TO46R.
Plus it has the magnetic tail:
Real pity about the price though, plus $8.00 for shipping to the states for a whopping total of $71.00!
That does look like a nice light. One major downside however is the large gap between high and turbo modes. Iāve tested the runtimes on my stock TO46R and on high mode (600 lumens) it was still going strong after 2 ours on a Basen 3400mah protected cell, and Iām gonna push it even further this weekend.
Got my tracking # as well and the carrierās site says not received yet, but it shows the destination as Netherlands (I live in the US!), hopefully just based on the tracking # ending in āNLā . If any of you get an unexpected package from Wuben, send it my way!
Itās the same for me for most packages from China, Iām in Europe. I think they repackage it in the Netherlands and ship it on or something like that, a pit stop if you will.
I still havenāt got a tracking number yet. Can you verify if I had mentioned my username in my previous payment? (sent PayPal payment last April 9 2018)
