One of each, please.
CW for me. Got to complete the GT set. Thanks madmax. I love Lumintop lights. They make a great product for the price.
Submitted for 1 NW 
Form submitted for 1 of each tint.
If the NW is a True NEUTRAL White that is…
True Neutral Whitetm , the new standard for flashlights, we will not disclose the CCT or colour coördinates, but you better get it right.
I just read a rather lengthy article that explains the human eye can perceive approximately 10 Million colors. But there are differences in how people view these colors, and there are differences in how colors present dependant on surface and lighting and other factors, so they say there may be 18 Decillion colors. (That’s 18 followed by 33 zero’s) If all these colors have names, they are then not white. 
As far as I know, there is but one White.
Also, as far as I know, Neutral has a specific meaning. Not taking sides one way or another.
So, can we please get white light in our flashlights?
That sounds like an interesting article Dale, I’d like to read it.
I agree, it would be very nice if we could _“get white light in our flashlights”.
True Neutral Whitetm in fact, without having to wonder what possibly gosh awful hue/tint our NW lights might have placed in them. :person_facepalming:
……
True Neutral Whitetm …… broken down to a simple form.
True - being in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality or fact; not false:
Neutral - not helping or supporting either side in a conflict, disagreement, etc.; impartial:
- 2. having no strongly marked or positive characteristics or features:
White - a color without hue at one extreme end of the scale of grays, opposite to black. A white surface reflects light of all hues completely and diffusely. Most so-called whites are very light grays: fresh snow, for example, reflects about 80 percent of the incident light, but to be strictly white, snow would have to reflect 100 percent of the incident light. It is the ultimate limit of a series of shades of any color
- White is the lightest color and is achromatic . It is almost the color of fresh snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black. White objects fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths of light. White on television and computer screens is created by a mixture of red, blue and green light.
True Neutral Whitetm … A standard that should be implemented governing lights of the future. A benchmark by which comparisons are made.
I’ve always thought of White and Black as base hues, not colors. Any color can be made with a mix of Red Yellow and Blue, the 3 primary colors. But Black and White in pure form cannot be made using any colors. Grey’s are a mix of Black and White. Again though the two base hues are at opposite ends and cannot be reproduced using colors. This is of course arguable, in pigmented colors you cannot get White from the primary colors, but in light… well, I hear you can be have yet to see it. Looking at the charts from Cree and Nichia and anyone else, I don’t see white on the chart. Nowhere on the X-Y axis, neither above or below or on the Black Body line. I use a Professional Dell 24” monitor that is indexed with a colorimeter. My monitor was $600 when I bought it. I feel pretty confident that if white were on the charts, my monitor would show me. Oh well, the pursuit of perfection is an endless one for a reason…
Neutral white is whatever you want it to be.
Black is no light at all.
LOL, and so it goes…
Amen Nev, so true. :+1:
And I “want it to be” something besides urine yellow….
……that is why I propose the adaptation of the
True Neutral Whitetm standard.
very very interested in 1 in nw with a cell
Very Interested
Neutral white is cooler in cloudy countries than in sunny countries…
So, micro, eh?
Maybe i should wait for the nano AAA.
So is snow a different color in different countries?
Hmmm… I think snow is cold white by definition…
You mistake the colour of a reflecting object (snow, wall, a picture) with colour of a light source, that is a complete different thing.
What determines the colour of a reflecting object, like snow, or a plastered wall, is what percentage of each wavelength of light is reflected, if that percentage is close to the same for all visible wavelengths, and reasonably high, above say 80%, the object is called white. But what colour you actually perceive is totally dependent on what light you illuminate your snow with: snow is cool white if you illuminate it with a cool white flashlight, and warm high CRI if it is illuminated with an evening sun. Or red in your car’s breaking lights.
So for objects to be called white they must not alter the colour of the light source you illuminate it with too much, the object does not “make” its colour by himself, instead it can look any colour depending on what light you shine on it.
The colour of a light source is a complete different story, for a light source to be called white it must have a certain mix of wavelengths so that all three types of colour receptors in your eyes are stimulated within a certain ratio, and then you see white. But that ratio is variable, there is an extreme wide variety of spectra that are perceived as white, and what you think is white can depend on what light you were experiencing a minute earlier, white depends on your mood, and even what culture you are from. White light can not be defined, it changes from person to person, and within one person it changes by the minute. That is why I ironically responded to teacher with the concept of True Neutral Whitetm 
, because it can not possibly exist as a fixed thing, just as a passingly perception in one’s mind (and even as an experienced photographer who knows the pitfalls, the perception of what is “white” still varies in your mind) .
Try telling that to your wife when shopping paint at Lowes
Pure white to me is Taylor Swift….now That girl is pale….and not sure how pure……LOL
By definition, white (in regard to light) is equal amounts of all colors. There actually IS a standard. And for me, as a wedding photographer, a light that allows a multi-thousand dollar white dress to still look white is a white light. When it comes to this industry, which is Billions of dollars a year, the definitions are exacting. (now, if only I could get a nice share of the Industry… but alas, I live in a small town and people seem to believe their phones are adequate for taking pictures)
True Neutral Whitetm
So it does exist….
