> The CRI on the 3500k LH351D you listed is only 80 compared to the 5000k which is 90. I have seen 3500k with CRI 90 before.
my mistake, yes, seek a 90 CRI option…
> I don’t have any way to measure the output.
its not critical, I think you will enjoy the LED swap regardless
if you care to learn to measure output
there is an android app called ceiling bounce… I have not tried it
I use a light meter…
we dont need to measure exact lumens so much as to get percent change…
as far as how to open your light…
I dont have a lot of experience, and sometimes I break things, so, wait for more qualified help… lol
basically though something unscrews from something, and then there are a couple of wires to unsolder… not rocket science, but it helps to be able to see small things, or wear magnifyers… and you will need a few supplies in a tube, like solder paste and thermal paste…
here is a light I modded the LED on, the pics might help give you some idea of the process… and I think your MT2C might be assembled in a similar way
here is another light I changed the LED on…
the main challenges was defeating the red loctite holding the head on:
swapping LEDs is not complicated (getting the light open can be the biggest hurdle)… you can do it,
and there are lots of people here that will cheer you on
