Recommend a Cool White emitter/light to me

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

All my lights are warm to neutral white (2700K-5000K), and I'm needing some cool white lights (>5000K) that will perform well photographically. I'm looking to get more than one light, it would be great to find one in 5700K and 6500K. I'm looking for emitters primarily rather than built lights first, so I can also do my own research on which lights with these LEDs will fit my needs. All I'm looking for is the cool CCT and a tint that is close to the BBL - not too rosy and definitely not greenish(DUV +- 0.0030) - and has a good balance of output and efficiency, but I'm more focused on color rendition, light quality, while efficiency can be sacrificed. Any suggestions?

If there was a cool white GT-FC40 I'd definitely go for one, but there seems to be none in the market right now. Third generation XHP50/70 is too new and I've yet to see products out with it. CULPM1? Definitely not an SST40 nor an XHP50.2.

If you are looking for the power, one of the best might be this one…

Cree XP-L HD V6 3B - 378 lumens @ 700mA

But as for the for the CRI:
Samsung LH351D White 5700K High CRI90 - W6 bin - only 322 lumens @ 700mA

I use a S2+ with LH351D 90CRI 5700k for my urbex photography. It has a very slight green tint, but nothing that can’t be corrected by moving the tint slider in lightroom by +1 (yes, its that minor).
I also have a S12 with 219C 5700k is a perfectly white tint and high CRI which I use with backlight scanners.
Check out my insta link in my profile for some examples - I list the flashlights used in each photo description.

Thanks! Will check these out!

Appreciate the input, I follow you on IG. I'll check out if Convoy still offers the LH351D in 5700K, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a listing for an S12 with 219Cs. It's been quite hard looking for good D55/D65 sources in commercial flashlights! But I guess they really weren't designed for this use lol

219C 5700K and GT-FC40 5000-5500K(actually close to 5700K) . Other options that can be hard to source: 519A, E21A and B35AM (all 5700K).
Edit:Looks like Simon doesn’t have 219C 5700K anymore, he’ll probably replace it with 519A. I got mine from Jaxman and it looks great.

I’m pretty sure the 5700k LH351D is still available (when the Convoy store re-opens). I’m interested in the 5700k 519A when it becomes available, possibly even the 6500k 519A (which I think is R9050).

I got confirmation from a Convoy reseller that they can get me 219C 5700Ks, most likely in an S12. I'm missing the CW FC40 and E21A, gotta try and source them out. Thanks!!!
