This. 2700k is like a halogen light-bulb or a classic maglite, its very pleasing to use at night.
Does anyone remember those Armytek lights with the E21A’s from clemence? One of those but with a 2000K, 2200K, or 2700K E21A would be a warm choice.
Can anyone even tell high/low CRI when just reading?
I use that LITOM horseshoe-shaped around-the-neck reading light. Super WW is almost amber, like 2200K, but it’s phosphor-converted, so you can still see red through blue.
Well, it was https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JLFJM5T/ , but apparently no more.
Pointing, don’t rule out low CRI lights Just Because.
That was my top choice for a while because of the beaded TIR, floodiness, etc but it seems that a lot of people had build issues with it. Not sure if that was a thing of the past. Thoughts? Since I fell down the rabbit hole I ended up with, almost exclusively, Convoys and [as Eek-A-Mouse sang] I like them all.
Yes, I know about TIR issues, but its better than nothing. Better option is to buy H04 and change led , but not everyone have skills to do it.
The HS05 2700K would fit the bill well if only it came in a beaded TIR option. Aaaaaargh … these decisions are hard when one’s on a budget.
What about Manker E03H II?
It’s an SST20 at 4000K but got the beaded TIR and seems well constructed. But it’s kinda on the pricey side.
Oh sod it … ordered the HS05 in 2700K. Hopefully it’s sufficiently throwy and good luck to me retrofitting a beady tir.
I think the HS05 is a perfectly fine choice!
If you’re not able to find a TIR that fits, you can try applying a window security film (like DC-fix) or Scotch tape to the lens.
It’ll diffuse the hotspot, and you could apply multiple layers for greater effect.
There will naturally be some output losses - but depending on your use case that may actually be desirable.
Hi, I may answer why there are two listings :D. One ships from USA, the other ships from China. The title can tell the difference.
Now 2700K HS05 is out of stock
HS05 in this link ships from China
HS05 in this link ships from USA (only 5000K is available)
If you have any questions, please let me know
Glad you asked 
I ordered the 2700K HS05 with battery kit yesterday and have high hopes for it. Is there a compatible beaded TIR lens that you recommend for it?
You have to know size of HS05 reflector and their room.
Be carefull if you want try unscrew the silver ring holder to avoid scratchs
For my SP40 I used a tool for open watch back case that I already had
Convoy have 17mm Tir lens,but now store is closed.
Can’t guarantee they will fit or it may be necessary to file them to reduce the depth
Still wearing mine every day, Light!
Perfect timing, too. Just got a sales email from LITOM (first time in forever), and that critter’s on sale for 11bux from the LITOM site.
Just had to charge mine after running it down doing puzzles.
Received the HS05.
Cute little light in 2700K and the moonlight mode surprisingly usable although the low mode probably more useful for reading.
It’s reasonably floody and suspect that had there been an OP option it may have sufficed. Having said that, would have preferred a ‘beaded’ TIR regardless and it’d have been perfect for me.
Just apply d-c-fix to the lens and it would be fine
I have a “Warm White” Armytek Wizard Pro with the XHP50 that is very nice for, well, everything so far. It seems to be becoming obsolete by my Nichia version, but the XHP50 is definitely warmer. Nowhere near 2700k like the little Sofirn, but a much lower moonlight none the less.
My “daily banger” is an S2+ with 219c in 4000K and it’s very pleasant. I’m really enjoying the 2700K Sofirn though. It’s a such a lovely warm light.
The Cyansky HS6R is very decent. I measured 4300k on the spot beam and the flood is the SST20 4000K which has 3 levels for an excellent bright flood
Just came inside from getting beamshots for my Nitecore HC65 V2 review and the Cyansky is nicer, not as bright, but is a better CCT
