However, seeing djozz’s test, that LED is a nice thing to use in other lights! Thumbs Up

There is two sides on this led:

1. it measures extreme high CRI with both high R9 and R12, right on top of the BBL in a reflector light. Awesome!
2. 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. :TIRED:

Even so, it could be used in small lanterns or with diffusers But, still, it is too much “yellow/orange” for me!
And it would be that great in this “to be” great FW3A 8^)

(BTW, I don’t miss those bulbs that much, so I’d pass this )

Please put me down for one light.

Of course it’s all personal preference, but I’m with you MascaratumB; the warm “yellow/orange” tints I hate. And the ‘harsh blue’ tints of cold are just as bad in an EDC light…. to me.

I’m good with about 4500K - 5750K… but my overwhelming preference being 5000K - 5750K. To me that is much more of a ‘True Neutral White’. Not a lot of tint either warm or cold.

I’m one of those weird people that likes the warmer tints. They look really nice outside in my opinion.

I like the Yuji 3200k and the XPL HI 7A, for example.

I’d have liked the 3500k Samsung emitter for this, but 4000k is a nice compromise and from what I’ve seen online should have a really nice tint.

That said, I used to carry an original Olight S1 and liked it despite the cool tint. I think for EDC size, durability, and UI are a bit more important than tint.

I have to agree. All of my house lights are 2700K - 3000K LEDs. I love a good warm light. The only thing I don’t like is when they have a green tint.

I remember seeing some remarkably green neutral XPG2s… }P

@eas: Thanks for the heads up- I noticed KaiDomain has a P60 dropin with that emitter. I might grab one for fun.

I like cool and I like warm. Different tints are nice, to change up now and then, but no green. That said, if I had to choose, the closest to daylight neutral white seems to be the nicest go to.

[lexvegas]

If I got to choose the LEDs for the BLF lantern, it would be as close to a kerosene lamp as I could get it

That being said, daylight color temp is nice for finding things; it’s just not for general lighting!

That was me who posted the link from Eric Pare’s FB group.

No need to publish your email. Communication will most likely be via private message within BLF when it is time to purchase.

hanoilighting208 is not on the list.
I think he’s asking to be included,
that says: Put me down for 1.

Problem with translators
hanoilighting208 is from Viet Nam.

AHHH, I also thought about that, the possibility of him being being requesting to be put in the list! (I have one like that >>> I want one like that )
It makes more sense now!

But as sometimes there are “leaks” from manufacturers, I considered the possibility that a sample might have been released! Hopefully it is not the case
Thanks again pepinfaxera
