Yup, I can definitely see it now. Getting this light was a good move. With the Skilhunt everything is nice and clear. With my other lights it seems like there’s a slight fog over all the colors.
> Still not a huge difference, but I’m catching on.
well done… it does help to have other lights to compare to… I keep a Low CRI XM-L2 around, just to remind me how good my sw45k really is
> With my other lights it seems like there’s a slight fog over all the colors.
yes, I call that “washed out”…
suggest you practice seeing red… I find it very informing to illuminate the palm of my hand… some LEDs make skin look alive, others make it look dead
I also suggest you simplify your color targets… I would avoid plants, and complex multi color targets. Focus on organic things that have inherent red pigments, including wood, skin, and meats.
Light your hand with it… you have seen you hand millions of times in the sun, good light, bad light and everything in between. This is one of the best tips.
here is a series of hand photos by twistedraven… I find them informing

and here is my World Famous Chicken Ala CRI:

the only difference is an xp-g2 shining on the top chicken, and Nichia 219b 4000K on the bottom…
there is an amazing lack of Red information coming from the xp-g2
I used to think I wouldn’t go back to cool white after experiencing 4000K emitters. Then I experienced the 95+ CRI 5600K Yuji in the Sofirn C01. It was a mind blowing experience seeing a cool white emitter not making things look “undead” like the typical cool white LED. Problem is not too many flashlight companies use good 95+ CRI LEDs in cooler color temperatures.
agree! very nice
like 5600K Yuji better than optisolis 6500k (could not make peace w green tint and cool blue color temperature)

stubborn tint snob I am

have not embraced cool white, yet?
Looks like you like your chicken lightly seasoned? 
I usually just load mine up on spices at maybe 7 to 8 different types! I once in a while enjoy lightly seasoned chicken but usually, it’s caked top, bottom, and sides with spices. :smiling_imp:

Damn…did High CRI take your girl or what? :person_facepalming:
I think High CRI beat the crap out of him, burnt his house down, and killed his dog. 
(That's a reference to the J0hn Wick series.)
I think Bobby Ray Travis wrote a country song like that.
Well his girl is one thing…but his dog…his DOG??? Poor guy. :cry:
Oops...
I forgot.
High CRI stole his car as well.

I miss the covid thread.
The high CRI threads are now about as toxic as the COVID-19 thread was.
Brooooooo, if you don’t make this your new comment signature… :sunglasses: 
Regardless of how this thread eventually ends, there was a lot of good info here!
Ideally we want LEDs to replicate how the sun illuminates objects. With LEDs, we have lots more options than the 2700K, 100 CRI, 0 DUV incandescent bulbs of the past (hopefully I got that right). And with LEDs, there is a tradeoff between lumens, CCT, tint, and CRI.
