I expected it to be more yellowish.
I can’t really tell the difference between stock and this.
Only after comparing it to my zebra light sc600 with the xhp 50.2 5,000 k and it looks about the same as
I guess it did lower it but it only lowered it by like 700. I kind of expected it to be around 4,000 - 4,500k
Did I do something wrong or is this pretty typical is it supposed to be only about 5,000 k?
It’s supposed to be about 4500K.
Your 5000K Cree might actually be somewhat 4800K, your DD Nichia might actually be somewhat 4600K.
Rosiness makes light seem colder than it is.
Don’t know if this is your case but it’s possible.
It looks better on camera vs my eyes . On camera it does look slightly warmer and pink than my zebra light

Very interesting point that nobody seems to mention–if one looks at the curves of constant CCT and curves of constant duv on the CIE 1931 chart, they are not perpendicular to each other but leaning in the direction you described. IMO this makes existing calculations somewhat faulty at capturing human perception, and it is much, much more natural to define the CCT of a point by its closest approximant on the BBL by Euclidean distance.
I dedomed 5700 in D4V2 and they are gorgeous. They are similar to 219B sw45 but more efficient. Very neutral tint
Does it look like mine in the picture I posted
Unfortunately a slightly ill-posed question: different cameras, different settings, and different reference lights all lead to different tint perception, not to mention the even greater differences between any camera and human eye.
Maybe not neutral but i think they are not bad in your case
I have to check mine with Opple
Just got a Noctigon KR3 with domed Nichia 519A emitters at 5700K. One reason for choosing the higher 5700K is the option to dedome. I’ve used it for a few days indoors and out and find the colour a bit too stark white.
The hotspot, as such, is handy so I don’t mind a bit more of that by dedoming, and I can always fit the floody optic if it’s too central. Just trying to avoid too much yellow, and definitely trying to avoid anything pink/rosy.
Has anyone had any regrets after dedoming these emitters? I searched out all the beam comparisons I could find but most are lights that aren’t triples, or non TIR so it’s hard to judge.
I have a dedomed 5700k behind a TIR in my S2+, it is noticeably warmer and rosy at lower levels and hits 4100k at high levels.
Edit: I have no regrets dedoming mine
I just dedomed one of the two 519a 5000 K in Wurkkos HD12 and I like the headlight even more now.
If it only had a dial for UI…
Popped them off last night, definitely no regrets, it’s a much nicer creamy tint now. The triple made the beam look weird so I put the floody optic in.
