I don’t want or need R9050, the 219C is R9050 that is quite nice but I’ve never thought it was really worth it, so if I would pick a tint as warm as possible with excellent CRI it would be an optisolis or E21A 2700K R9080. For a second one, anythink between 3500K to 6500K as long as it is a R9080 LED.
But anyway, it’s just my personnal preferences.
Here is my attempt a capturing a C01R moonlight beam on a white wall. There is a distinct irregular spot in the center. It may be hard to see on your computer or cell phone. I believe in the C01R thread someone was asking about a defect in the TIR. I think it is just a characteristic of the TIR optic used. I don’t mind too much for the C01R considering the cost and because you typically can’t see it in normal use. However if the same TIR is used for white light I am guessing some of the CRI babies around here will complain about it. Worth considering an upgrade for the E21a model?
Very interested - have SST-20 on the way, but I’d easily buy another in 4500k (4000-4500k is my sweet spot). A really low firefly/moonlight mode would be nice but is we’re going with a true “budget” theme then it should be centered around the emitter without changing too much else up (L to H is a must).
