The sp40 may be the only headlight available with 3000k (shipped from china). No moonlight but a simple UI and micro USB. Can’t keep the clip on while in the headlight strap and that applies to most headlights. The Wowtac a2s is a strong contender at 30 bucks. I think the Armytek pro series including the brand new C2 has got to be the best all around headlight and with the clip on the tail end you can keep it on in the head strap. The UI sounds impossible when you read it but once you’ve done it a few times it’s very simple. We don’t know for sure that the new one is high CRI but it likely is. “Warm” and “white” labels/options. 3 moonlights, 3 turbos, 3 in the middle. 3500mah high drain battery. Magnetic charging, magnetic base. Wide smooth beam pattern. Plus other things that you don’t get in others. I don’t know what more you could ask for.
Why must we care about cri all the time? Im not colour blind, i know what its supposed to be, i aint trying to paint in the dark, just need to see what things are where
Thanks for the great advice! I just went on Acebeam’s site and saw the H60 FULL SPECTRUM HEADLAMP:
“ Acebeam H60 utilizes the new SunLike TRI-R technology for high CRI (>97) and TLCL ratings with spectral distribution as close to the sunlight as possible”
I wouldn’t trust that battery, since they definitely just grabbed a cheap Chinese cell and wrapped their name around it.
But in terms of flashlights, Boruit’s a decent budget brand - lots of features for a low price. They’re the same manufacturer that makes the D25S and S11C lights that Sofirn sells, in case you wanted other examples to look up.
Well, most of the lights Sofirn sells are designed and manufactured by themselves. These are a couple of lights that are exceptions - lights that had an interesting design, so Sofirn had them manufactured with a customized LED/UI.
I ordered the Sofirn/Boruit D25S from Amazon on Saturday and got it Sunday. I used the Sofirn discount code and checked the $2.00 discount box and got the light for $19.59 before tax. It’s a nice headlamp.
If I can get a find a good deal, I might order the Lumintop HL3A for myself.
I wasn't able to use a decent promo code for 11/11, (I didn't realize that the promo codes don't last very long) so I may have to wait until AliExpress has another sale.
