Received mine and love them. It remains just sightly warm with an eneloop and doesn’t need much to figure out how to use it, perfect for gifts. Construction is excellent and it’s hard to see where the tailcap meets the body which means good machining.
I ordered 2 but wish it have been more, although people have mixed feelings when I gift them a flashlight, they give me this strange look :~ until I explain them why this is superior than their 2D incan in the kitchen drawer.
Very neutral. Regular “neutral white” is nowhere near as neutral as this looks to my eye.
After this neutrals look like warm.
OTOH: reds dont pop-out so much as with neutral or warm white (if you prefer it like that).
I got one older Nichia but it is WW and High CRI.
With this and white wall, I have to say it is hard to detect any tint. It is mostly just white.
Of course, depends on your eyes… I recently did a test, Im tetrachromatic.
Well I’ll throw in the contrarian position, because I don’t know what these other folks are going on about. I also only bought one and its great - works flawlessly, beautiful tint, great CRI. And yes I have other 219b emitters for comparison. Its so good that I went back and ordered a couple more, for some reason.
You folks who haven’t received yours yet can stop worrying - the light is great.
You can't compare the CRI of 2 different tints without being subjective, the 4500K is simply another tint (nominal by the way), the CRI is not, you just totally prefer the 4500K. I am saying this because I go some NVSW219B-V1 in 5000K and it is unfair to call them as not having good CRI.
Ok, there was just some metal in wrong place behind the pill - working now.
Tested 4 side by side against white wall and there are some small tint differences. Some a bit warmer, some a bit cooler. You can tell when they are side by side but individually tested its hard to say which one is which…
I ordered one of these. Didn’t use a coupon (only knocked a few pennies off) as it meant I wouldn’t be able to use a few points I’d earned. The points took the price down to £3.40, happy enough with that. For once in my life I have more flashlights en route than I do knives…….!!!
Switch your “Input format” (below the comment box) to “Advanced” and you can drag and drop a picture in (make it small first if it’s huge)
You also need to add more carriage returns and otherwise fiddle a bit if you’re writing text, usually it’s not worth doing, but to post a pic, try that.
