Good point Firelight2. :+1:
This light is also speced to use a Carclo Narrow Spot Frosted TIR (10511) Optic, .
So, as has been mentioned before: While the polls #1 choice, the XP-L HI; may well “throw” a bit further…. it is far from a ‘thrower’ as used in this light.
Hum, despite it seems pretty awesome (beam and “colour”) I guess it would be too much on the “yellow/orange side”! Personal preference statement, note!
I do hope, though, that the discussed LEDs can be offered, for I’d like to have one of each
Due to the 2 types of leds in discussion, I also thought the “extreme” values (3000K and 6500K) would be the less favourite, and this table confirms it! Too warm or too cold in a flashlight like this would be not a wise move. Hence the general preferences for the 4000K-5500K!
However, seeing djozz’s test, that LED is a nice thing to use in other lights! :+1:
it measures extreme high CRI with both high R9 and R12, right on top of the BBL in a reflector light. Awesome!
it looks kind of boring, the tint and colours it shows are virtually identical to an oldschool halogen bulb that we were all used to. No news today. :weary:
