I like both, but I definitely prefer the E21A 2000K R9080. It just looks great.
My next goal is to try all of these amber leds, to see which one I like best:
Osram KY CSLNM1.FY [phosphor-converted]
Cree XP-E2 PC Amber [phosphor-converted]
Cree XP-E2 Amber [monochromatic]
Wellp, amber is pretty much monochrome, with a cri of about 3.
A good 2000K LED will still look “amber” from being so warm, but have a much wider spectrum and higher cri.
Oh, sure, blame me… 
Sounds odd, though. Will have to try it and see.
Ha sorry it came out that way. Found the issue - I put the black tube in the wrong end. Feel like a dummy
Nice! I love this 2000K. Glad I got 4 of the 18350s because they obviously don’t last as long as the 18650s did. It started to dim and then actually turned off yesterday and the battery was at like 2.3 volts (:
I also want to try the Luminus Xnova Cube 1800K 90 CRI, R9 is about 50:
Phosphor converted color LEDs are kind of fun. I already have a “Pure Green” Osram, which is indeed a very good thrower, and that tint of CSLNM1 can be driven quite far. Unfortunately I looked into the specs, and found, that the yellow/amber tinted CSLMN1 output starts to flat out much sooner. For it, I guess, a 3A current driver could be perfectly fine instead of a 5A current one (thus, not going to use Turbo on my Noctigon K1 /ordered, shipped, but not yet delivered/).
Still, I am very excited to see it. The “Yellow” has almost as wide spectrum as the “Pure Green”.
If you want a complete research on this, you could include Nichia E17A as well, as I recall, there are green, yellow and red tints all of them phosphor-converted.
Could this be the Epiled “Golden Yellow” 5050?
I doubt it. That Juntang LED has two bond wires inside, not three.

Thanks for posting the photo!
Wow! I have the D4V2 in 6500K and I’m tempted to gift it and replace it with a warmer color. Might be cool to try 2700K
No, not cool, it would be warm, LOL, just joking around.
Still, It might depend upon how and where you will be using it and your eyes. I have an XP-L High 7A 3000k that I do not use outdoors very much because it is too warm. It is fine around a campfire or indoors, but not walking in the woods. After that experience I have been staying with 4000k and some 5000k lights. But with the other issues like CRI, etc. you might like the 2000k, these guys sure do, so let us know. You might even convince me to try it.
Summertime when you’re swarmed by bugs outside, you’ll be wanting something in the infrared. 
Yep. I have a Skilhunt H03 with 2000K E21A, and I can confirm, I receive half amount of incoming insects compared to my other headlamps 
So this is actually a tough call. While most flying insects can not see into the red spectrum, some species of moths can see into the red spectrum and seem to be attracted to red light. I really don’t understand why people hate moths so much that they use UV bug zappers, which generally mostly kill moths and nothing that matters to us. Horrible things, bug zappers. They do nothing to help us. Moths are kind of cool, nighttime butterflies, and some of the big ones are truly beautiful. I sort of wish we could all let them be. So the only flying biting insects that matter to us (not counting noseeums, which are just annoying and don’t leave welts) are mosquitos, which cause all kinds of problems beyond an inchy welt, such as spreading Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue, malaria and whatnot. Mosquitos can see red, but I would not say they are necessarily attracted to red… but they are actually attracted to infrared; they see it coming off our skin and know there is a meal there. So, really, the only solution is lower light levels from yellow to red, the point being that lower light levels don’t attract as many bugs from as wide an area, and using light shifted to that spectrum, most bugs aren’t attracted to it. But really… we just don’t care about those bugs. We really need to somehow end to extinction, wipe off the face of the earth, all of the biting mosquitos, and leave the non-biting mosquito species be. The only thing that works against mosquitos that you can take camping is repellent on the skin with DEET, horrible, but it does work. But that just repels and prevents you from getting bit when properly applied. The one thing that works the best against mosquitos, lowers the population in any area massively by killing them, is the right mosquito pheromones with a CO2 trap, and that works pretty good, but you hardly ever see them used. There are projects working with AI targeting low yield IR lasers, some that burn the wings off them, but this is not only kind of morbid, there is a real risk of, you know, blinding people that happen to walk into the laser killing field. The lasers fire far faster than the blinking reflex and can do some damage in that short time period.
That laser-thingy sounds like something I’d try building…
This is one of the mosquito laser projects, the original I believe
but I just read about a new project (oops. same group, more advanced detection, tracking & striking)
That’s so cool. I can tell you it doesn’t take long to kill a mosquito with a 6 watt blue laser. If one of those little guys is zooming around my room I put on good safety goggles and blast it
