The 3000K, 95+ CRI, variant of the Luminus SST-20 is an interesting emitter.

I’m just sayin’

Waiting is half the fun! Can’t wait for both my units. Everyone is doing a great job!

Hum, despite it seems pretty awesome (beam and “colour”) I guess it would be too much on the “yellow/orange side”! Personal preference statement, note!

I do hope, though, that the discussed LEDs can be offered, for I’d like to have one of each :wink:

EDIT: BTW, are there any more news on the FW3A ??

Personal but popular preference. :slight_smile:

Last time I graphed raw poll results, this is how things turned out. The only tint less popular than 3000K was 6500K.

Due to the 2 types of leds in discussion, I also thought the “extreme” values (3000K and 6500K) would be the less favourite, and this table confirms it! Too warm or too cold in a flashlight like this would be not a wise move. Hence the general preferences for the 4000K-5500K!

However, seeing djozz’s test, that LED is a nice thing to use in other lights! :+1:

There is two sides on this led:

  1. it measures extreme high CRI with both high R9 and R12, right on top of the BBL in a reflector light. Awesome! :smiley:
  2. it looks kind of boring, the tint and colours it shows are virtually identical to an oldschool halogen bulb that we were all used to. No news today. :weary:

Even so, it could be used in small lanterns or with diffusers :wink: But, still, it is too much “yellow/orange” for me!
And it would be that great in this “to be” great FW3A :sunglasses:

(BTW, I don’t miss those bulbs that much, so I’d pass this :stuck_out_tongue: )

Please put me down for one light.

Of course it’s all personal preference, but I’m with you MascaratumB; the warm “yellow/orange” tints I hate. And the ‘harsh blue’ tints of cold are just as bad in an EDC light…. to me.

I’m good with about 4500K - 5750K… but my overwhelming preference being 5000K - 5750K. To me that is much more of a ‘True Neutral White’. Not a lot of tint either warm or cold.

I’m one of those weird people that likes the warmer tints. They look really nice outside in my opinion.

I like the Yuji 3200k and the XPL HI 7A, for example.

I’d have liked the 3500k Samsung emitter for this, but 4000k is a nice compromise and from what I’ve seen online should have a really nice tint.

That said, I used to carry an original Olight S1 and liked it despite the cool tint. I think for EDC size, durability, and UI are a bit more important than tint.

I have to agree. All of my house lights are 2700K - 3000K LEDs. I love a good warm light. The only thing I don’t like is when they have a green tint.
