With this light being aimed as a photography light - a neutral/close to BBL tint would be much more useful for the target audience than a rosy or green tint.
Like I said before, the E21A is on or slightly below the BBL whereas the Optisolis is on or slightly above the BBL. Both are much more neutral than the typical Cree and Samsung 90 CRI emitters and with superior color rendering
Agreed, but on the other hand, photographer aren’t strangers to gels and filters to adjust the tint and color temperature of an auxiliary or fill light.
plus, optisolis has zero tint shift across the entire beam. an e21a has plenty of it, beyond, say, 120deg it is totally green. it is much less of a problem than with popular domed leds, but as soon as you notice it, it is annoying.
actually, in warm leds the tint shift is by far less unpleasant than with neutral and cold whites. I had a mule with a 3000k e21a and was very happy with the tint. With a 5000k e21a it was no go for me
This looks to be ideal, interested in getting 2 lights in 4500K HCRI for photography.
I’m no familar with the E21A, would like to see real world beamshots.
I like the rosiness of the 219B 4500K 9080 and am hoping this is similar.
Impressed with the driver efficiency!
Any estimate on price?
Thanks!
Actually, it depends. If an E21A emitter is driven at below 100mA, it tends to be looking less rosy, but above 500mA, rosiness kicks in more pronouncedly. Above 1A, it is definitely rosy.
