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.
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 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?)
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).
It’s basically tongue in cheek refernce to PC gaming being the ‘master race’ over console gaming systems. In referring to tints, CRI, and subjective perfect whiteness, it could become, ah, a bit slippery, lol.
If I go into the basement, I use it to see things in boxes
If I go into the tool room, I use it to see things in tool bags
If I go travelling, I use it for my all purpose light at all times of day or night.
for the few situations where I am adapted to total darkness, I like a warmer CCT… usually 219b 3000k 9080
When Im modding flashlights, wearing a magnifying visor, I use a 5mm Yuji 5600k in a Sofirn C01 to illuminate my electronics work.
all are High CRI
.
When Im being stealthy and dont want to wake the plants up, I use green, and when I want to wake up the mitochondria in my retina I use Red:
I prefer use CCT above 4000k only at day time.Don’t like the yellowish contrast of the warm Leds with the daylight. On night is another story
For close works I prefer warm tints high Cri,less harsh for eyes and body healt
