I’d venture to say you’re correct, contactcr: SST20 vs XP-L HI - #6 by Danthemanz
Please, sir. Spill the beans
Sst-20 3000k + Lee Zircon 803?
Sorry everyone, I did want to see if people could guess breifly, but then I feel asleep for the night.
The 100% correct answers were basically offered, but not by one person.
SST-20 3500k GB4, shaved as low as humanly possible. The special sauce was Lee Zircon 804 (804 I think, I have a pile precut and mix them up) In a triple within a Wuben TO46r using a 10507 optic. Power level 4 of 5.
I think I could get –0.0011 with an overdriven single without the minus green and I will build something else to try that.
I was playing with the zircon and the spectrometer to see where it would sit on the bbl, the epic cri numbers were quite a surprise actually. I had the light built for a few weeks and everything was perfect except a small shade of green I couldn’t get rid of.
It’s times like this that I’m glad I’m colorblind and needn’t concern myself with things like DUV. 
hmm… I think that’s the first time in my life I’ve claimed to be thankful for being colorblind
I have a 4000k FW3A with an eliptical carclo and a Lee -green (not sure which) as a bicycle light and I gotta say it’s very pleasing to the eye. Very balanced colors and good saturation.
I think shaving or filters would be one thing but both, idk. Couldn’t you have just left the dome on and applied a slightly higher filter?
Knowing that you did both it really would benefit to know: output and kcd with dome on, shaved, and shaved+filter to see what tradeoffs you made.
I never intended to add a filter, it was just a test. I don’t like using them, but sometimes they just fix a green problem and make something perfect.
It could even be an 805 which is minor.
Shaving and filters are very different things. Filters have MUCH less effect and most importantly, take 10 seconds to install or remove by hand.
Without the dome the difference in throw is quite amazing, not to mention the cct and tint changes. Throw changes make it more like a Osram flat white than say a Nichia.
There is an output drop for sure so a multi is nice.
I don’t have a lumen tube but I might be able to do some lux measurements when I do the single 3500k.
The purpose of this light was a high cri throwy triple with usb charging.
Its proven quite a fun light to walk around the house at night lighting up coloured things with an explosion of saturation 
More of the emitters finally arrived so I’ve got more things to do. I want something with a much higher drive and no filter ideally, hopefully a multi.
Probably also a fw3a with the new lume1 buck/boost driver to improve efficiency.
I’d never thought about that.
Out of interest, what do you see in cct changes? Surely 6500k and 2700k still look very different to you thought right? Do you not see tint at all?
CCT, in general, yes. I can’t tell that a 6500K is particularly blue, purple, or green. But I can tell that when I turn it on in a dark room vs a 4000K light that it is stark and bothersome. But I’ve NEVER looked at a beam and been like “ugh, such green!” (or even “man, look at how this 95-CRI YUJI makes the colors pop!”)
A bless and a curse indeed!
Yeah. I just received the Wuben E19UV light and thought it was a really cool shade of blue until my wife had to ruin it for me and inform me that flashlight is in fact purple.
Haha, don’t let anyone else’s opinion change what you like! While it’s fun to impress others, what you like is all that matters!

For all I know my eyes are wrong too, but I like what I like.
Sounds like a matter of opinion, I’m with you, its blue.

Really cool mod. It’s like it addresses every aspect of the Tool I dont like and changes it to something amazing.
Thanks, yes it is much better now :THUMBS-UP:
