^ Thanks for sharing that cannga.
I agree, there is something special about the Nichia 219b. I have a few from 5000k down to 3000k. I do appreciate warm white, with about 3500k to 4000k to be my “sweet spot.” I do have one R9050 sw30k and it’s so much like incandescent. One day when I get around to finally reflowing LEDs, I’ve got a few of those in waiting to be installed in a triple.
I’ve been looking for a modest form factor single cell long thrower. Right now I have an old Nitecore EC4GT that has decent throw for its size (475 meters). I love the form factor, 2x18650 in parallel creating a rectangular body. I’ve been looking for something that can throw at least as far while also delivering a broader hotspot. My Sofirn SP33v3 falls about 200 meters behind the EC4GT but has excellent spill… despite the tint being cooler than I like. Anyway, I wanted to try something newer. First, I considered getting something on the inexpensive side, like the IF22A. But then I saw what Convoy was doing and that drew me to nearly buying an M21E. Then I thought maybe I should give Emisar a go. But after seeing the TS30S specs with SBT90.2… the price is very attractive. I just wish it came in 5000k.
