Waiting is half the fun! Canāt wait for both my units. Everyone is doing a great job!
Hum, despite it seems pretty awesome (beam and ācolourā) I guess it would be too much on the āyellow/orange sideā! Personal preference statement, note!
I do hope, though, that the discussed LEDs can be offered, for Iād like to have one of each 
EDIT: BTW, are there any more news on the FW3A ??
Personal but popular preference. 
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 āextremeā 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 djozzās test, that LED is a nice thing to use in other lights! :+1:
There is two sides on this led:
- it measures extreme high CRI with both high R9 and R12, right on top of the BBL in a reflector light. Awesome!
- 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 But, still, it is too much āyellow/orangeā for me!
And it would be that great in this āto beā great FW3A :sunglasses:
(BTW, I donāt miss those bulbs that much, so Iād pass this 
)
Please put me down for one light.
Of course itās all personal preference, but Iām with you MascaratumB; the warm āyellow/orangeā tints I hate. And the āharsh blueā tints of cold are just as bad in an EDC lightā¦. to me.
Iām good with about 4500K - 5750Kā¦ but my overwhelming preference being 5000K - 5750K. To me that is much more of a āTrue Neutral Whiteā. Not a lot of tint either warm or cold.
Iām 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.
Iād have liked the 3500k Samsung emitter for this, but 4000k is a nice compromise and from what Iāve 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 donāt like is when they have a green tint.
I remember seeing some remarkably green neutral XPG2sā¦ :confounded:
@eas: Thanks for the heads up- I noticed KaiDomain has a P60 dropin with that emitter. I might grab one for fun.
I like cool and I like warm. Different tints are nice, to change up now and then, but no green. That said, if I had to choose, the closest to daylight neutral white seems to be the nicest go to.
If I got to choose the LEDs for the BLF lantern, it would be as close to a kerosene lamp as I could get it
That being said, daylight color temp is nice for finding things; itās just not for general lighting!
Please add me for 2, many thanks
Hi. In for 2 or 3. Might go up to 4 if thereās a volume discount!
Discovered this project from Eric Pareās Light Painting FB page. Someone posted a link and if youāre reading this, I want to thank you!
Iām at #1432 and would like to add one more.
still not seen my name on the listā¦we would require two
That was me who posted the link from Eric Pareās FB group.
No need to publish your email. Communication will most likely be via private message within BLF when it is time to purchase.
I have one like that
Put me down for 1.
