The Perfect Tint

Very, give me the 219B in sw35,sw40 or sw45k. Next some of the SST20’s in 4000k and xm-l2 and xp-l hi in 5a2. A few of the LH351D 3500-4000k are not bad and the new fc40 is really nice.

5D2 is the ultimate tint.
I say this becasue i have one for sale :stuck_out_tongue:

That is above the bbl?

tint is in the eye of the beholder.

bbl?

Except the point is that “white” is not subjective. Illuminant E is the perfect white.

What about an xhp70.2 in 3000k. Does anyone have experience with that leds



For me the sweet spot usually is 4D, 4A, 3D, 3A… below the BBL.

Of course that may vary either way (cooler or warmer) for some emitters.

I DETEST (HATE) warm, & super warm tints. Hideous Blue cool tints too.

For a “dedicated” thrower… cooler is better as long as it IS NOT Hideous Blue.
:white_check_mark:

I seek 6500k and above and specifically love a bluish green tinge sometimes with some purple. No… my favourite is tint would be from my 3k xhp70.2 convoy m21c-u.

Too complicated
5D2 :smiley:

I prefer fairly warm white, but any warm white will do.

Had to do a Google / Wikipedia search to find out what is “Illuminant E”…

Looks like it’s supposed to be approximated closely to somewhere around 5455k color temperature, based on the above link, but has no actual color temperature…

Illuminant E confirmed

YES… or at least we should be. :white_check_mark:

What does “master race” have to do with this???

Illuminant E is a from theory constructed light source while “white” is, despite how you want it to be, in fact a human perception, far from objective. If they match for you that will be coincidence.

(Have you seen illuminant E? Is there an actual existing source of it?)

There has been a few studies about perceived white point and tint preference

One about perceived white point, and two about preference are cited in This presentation which I recommend reading.

Here is another one about perceived white point.

So not even talking about preference you can’t affirm that an illuminant E is white.

Anyhow personally I like CCTs between ~4500K and 2200K with duv between–0.002 and ~–0.008

The darkness is the perfection haha.
I’m not obsessed for the tint variations,but I dislike most of the low Cri Leds that are now obsolete(marketing strategy).
