Definitely cool white - looks 1A to me. I had the beam up against my BLF Mini-01 with a 3C in it, and definitely a lot cooler than the Mini. RIC at CNQ has both these lights available in neutral 3C, more money though.
I’m curious to see what the modded ones look like with a better driver. Does anyone know if Ric’s NW versions have a better driver?
In the meantime, I said to the wife “how about if you buy yourself something nice so I can justify a titanium flashlight?” and she said “sounds good to me”, so I have the go-ahead for the Ti Olight S15. It’s a little closer to my perfect EDC but I don’t believe has the same ramping. And it’s contingent on me telling the gardener that I’ll be raking the truckload of pine needles myself, so the Ti S15 will cost me a Saturday. #firstworldproblems
I'd bet RIC's has the same driver - the description match's how the FT ones work to a T, though my description is more thorough . It certainly would not have more amps as well - RIC's stuff is mostly pretty conservative, though couple exceptions.
I got a parasitic draw of .03ma/30 muA. I really like this light. I remember someone once asked if there really was nothing between a sc52 and a sk68. This might be it!
Are there any options besides Ric to get the NW version? I’m liking it more and more, but Ric sometimes takes up to 6 months to get an order to me, most were 3+ months before I got them from him so I really would rather not….
