yes yesā¦i saw the full pack right nowā¦yes,for the price is it more than goodā¦i try it:) anyway,i was never interested for aaa flashlightesā¦just though for this day-brightest aaa/lion flashlightā¦i fought,its thisā¦.:laughing:))
Did the earlier ones use the NVSW219B-V1 R9050? Or another R9050 spec? Because that emitter is only available in SW50-SW57, which ranges from 4745K-6020K.
I got some tint (K) variation with the ones I ordered, but nothing near that extreme, most looked fairly similar and in the SW50 range. Had one that rendered reds exceptionally well, and was lower K.
According to the OP, the second and third batches were SW50 and D200. I got my first one straight from GB, not the first group buy, and my other six from the second group. Iām still thinking about buying more, but havenāt decided yet.
Hmmm, thatās def not SW50 in the pic, the last one anyway, way too warm. Was an explanation given from GB as to why there were tint variations this extreme? Remember, this is Nichia, not Cree weāre talking about. Take SW50 for example, they have that one bin centered over the BBL line. They also bin for Vf, something people have pined about Cree not doing since the beginning.
Iām not claiming anything nefarious here, just curious about the answer. I, like you, was about to order more, but now not sure if I lucked out with the tint lottery first time, or perhaps this has already been sorted?
Thanks for the answer, I wasnāt sure if the OP had been updated to reflect the new GB or if the new was stacked onto the old.

ETA: Oh I see, going back and reading more, the says that the ones in question were from the old 2014 GB, so before GB-2 and GB-3. Iāll have to go look for that old thread.
The 2014 GBGB was with Cree emitters. Factory promised to produce a NW version, but didnāt specify the exact tintā¦
That was a learning experience for me, so the 2015 GBGB was done with very exact emitter specs (and double and triple checked to be sure they understood the specs).
Thatās the current one, well, the one with the Cree XP-E, not Nichia.
Not positive I have the correct one, but if you scroll down the page of the one I posted you can see the pics posted of Neutral and Cool white side by side.
I donāt have one of these and as much as I would like one I donāt think Iād have any real use for it, although my wife would likely enjoy this light. Anyway Iāll volunteer to exclude myself and bump this thread.
I hope the winner doesnāt have one yet and will put it to good use.
