that is a great suggestion!
.
The 5600k Yuji LED in the Sofirn C01 is more efficient (brighter) than the 3200k LED\
The 5600k has better CRI, and is closest to daylight.
I hope you enjoy it.
I think the 3200k is worth getting also, so you can form your own opinions about the differences.
I also think a set of convoys could be good,
for my taste, they would have to be High CRI, preferably 219b
I agree with your observations that High CRI is generally Less Lumens. You will want to form some opinions about what lumen levels you find practical for your needs. Indoors we use much lower levels, Im mostly indoors. The Sofirn C01 is an indoor, close range, light.
The Convoy is more capable at higher brightness levels, and outdoors where larger distance may be involved, its also bigger and heavier.
Always trade offs… which is why I have more than one light… each has something I like, none is perfect
I tend to group my lights by battery size…
AAA… Sofirn fits here
16340… Olight fits here
18650… Convoy fits here, there is also a short body option for 16340 size
Im personally not inclined to use 18650… its a great option, but a bit bigger than I choose to carry
I have a lot of AAA, I stopped using them when I dove into 16340 lights… Its my happy place at the moment.
which brings up another suggestion
1. Klarus Mi1C Cool White Aspheric, cool white low cri option only
2. Klarus Mi1C Cool White Ti and Copper reflector beam cool white low cri option only
and
3. Klarus Mi1C High CRI reflector beam
the third one is the best pick of the litter for my High CRI bias
but its a 4000k 219c, and will look a bit warm, or yellow, during the day… maybe not ideal… but, lights are full of compromises.
the first 2 Klarus are not High CRI, so for me, would only be acceptable as modding projects

regarding reading lettering on a plaque of label, an aspheric lens makes a more useful reading light than one with a hotspot
the Sofirn C01 produces a nice even beam, like an aspheric lens, its just not very bright… you will be able to read the label, but you will need to be within a few inches…
lights with hotspots have other strengths… you will probably discover that Get Both, is the Better answer
