Has anyone bought a discounted light from AE. I don’t really trust they will actually send me the right light. It seams to be sold out everywhere else and it is not even mentioned on the sofrin website any more. Hopefully I can find one in 3400k and red, they are what I’m looking for.
What about a Sofrin SP10 Pro? Although it is a 1 AA light with Anduril 2. Not sure how well it would perform when the floor and ceiling set to the 5 lumen range.
+1 for the Sofirm C01 at 3400K from Sofirn Store on AE and they also have the Red LED in same form factor.
If you are so inclined and prefer more runtime, a warm 5mm LED tweaked to fit a 2xAA Maglite might serve your needs as well. The tweak is a matter of resizing the LED and reflector, then pairing with rechargeable constant 1.5V lithium you can get consistent regulated output for days.

Those gchart joule thief drivers are excellent. I swapped one into aNOS four sevens atom along with a 219b sw35. Just an awesome little light. I agree with others, though. Sounds like the Sofirn c01 is exactly what you want. Alternatively perhaps peak can make an Eiger to suit you?
Search for medical pen lights. Most have a very warm emitter, several good ones to choose from (and they aren’t priced like typical “medical” tools, thankfully). Lots of the weird-name cheapies do use a 5000K or 6000K emitter, though, but most of the med-specific stick to 3000K.
Weltool has a couple…not sure if the multi-mode brighter ones would suit you but single mode does limit your choices. Nitecore and Streamlight have some that I know are well regarded by EMTs and nurses, and seems like Wuben and Lumintop also have one (but I think the Lumintop may not have a suitable mode for you if memory serves).
I used the very light you’re looking for tonight. 2xAAA incandescent maglight. Mine with eneloop is quite warm 2300-2500CCT maybe. Only one mode and right around the lumens you want. 100CRI to boot!
