> 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.
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.
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:
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.
