I am a big fan of the 1C tint for my lights and though I have tried several tints over the years like 0D, 1A, 1B, 2T I just installed a 2B tint XP-G2 and I absolutely love the 2B color! I think I am going to update my 1C tint lights to the 2B tint.
What tint do you like on your lights?
Between 3D and 4D. Neutral white with a slight pink/rose tint.
1A is ok, but I really have been enjoying 3C lately
Is it possible to get a better shot of that tint graph? I’m trying to blow it up, but it’s still coming in blury towards the 4k range and above.
Here a higher res one is.
I’m really liking the 4C tint of the XP-G2 I picked up recently. Can’t wait for the 4C XM-Ls to become widely available.
3C and 3D are nice as well. 5C1 is lovely to look at, but I’ve decided that it’s a little too warm for every day use. 4C is just about perfect for me.
Would love to check out a 4B, as I think that might be even better.
Thanks for the graph. I wish I would of seen something like this a long time ago. I had a bunch of my lights modded to 4c, which I really enjoy, but I think I would rather have a more rose tint myself, perhaps 4a.
If only I could do it myself.
4B 4C and 5B1

don’t you think it’s a matter of uses ?
5b-5c for general purposes, interior uses, headlight, bicycle light.
cooler tints for throwers.
i also like the 7b very much for close up works
Speaking of tints, is there a comprehensive shopping site that allows you to choose LED’s with a variety of tints? With cheap sites like DX, it’s a guessing game. (Not to mention the bin too.)
Also, it would be great to have a wall shot collection of the top 5 tints. 
Cheers!
What is a good tint for close up work? Something close to neutral white?
Yup, I would go with neutral white. It has the highest CRI value, and reproduces the colors the best.
I like the cooler colors because to me the “cool white” is the distinguishing factor of an LED compared to an incan light. also, cool white has a higher lumen output than NWs, and i like sheer output. I haven’t been sucked into the high CRI world yet, but I own a NW bc40, my first high power light actually, and the color rendition is amazing compared to cooler colors. but still i usually choose CW if there is a choice or around 5-6k
2A-3D.
reddish A/D tints not easy to find.
Same. But I need to try something even warmer and see if I like those too.
4 tints are nice for illuminating foliage and examining specific things. I think 2-3 is best all around since you sometimes still need contrast for spotting. 2 tints are basically impossible to find.
2A-4D covers my favorites in the cool and neutral ranges. Unfortunately I’ve actually only tried 2D and 4D, rawr. REALLY would like to try 3D (I bash 3C for its ubiquity, but it really does please when well-driven).
I really like 6A2 and 7C1 from experience. Cool, neutral, and warm obviously fulfill their niches but any tint I like is great for general use.
Since we are discussing tints, has anyone else noticed the tint charts with contradictory BB loci floating around? e.g., Cree’s binning & labeling is different than the one on FlashlightWiki. Sup with that?
All from 3D to 7C…
Actually, I really like Warm whites. But daily I use Neutral whites (something around 4500k)
EDC 18650 XP-G2 from IO is 2B, pretty nice CW.
Forgive me if I’m noob but how do u guys figure out your tint specs? Besides printing them down and eye-balling them? Or verifing that you have the correct bin LED?
