I must have misread. I thought it was blending output between the two emitters to get the desired tint. Like only the 4000k emitter is on to get 4000k, only the 7000k emitter is on to get 7000k, and both are on at 50% to get 5500k.
If the reflectors are left and right when the screen is facing up, that should result in a wider beam. Most of the time that's better, at least it's better than a beam profile that's taller than it is wide.
I think you are correct actually, definitely makes more sense than what I was thinking. With both emitters on for variable tint it will have that kind of odd mickey mouse beam pattern.
wow, that would be FUN! Solarstorm is coming out with a nice (4) AA offering soon I am told. That’s the one I’m waiting on, but this one sure looks nice. Available yet?
howdy! You have an order in for this from Banggood??? I know u already have one of these. Only a matter of time I suppose before someone came out with an adjustable tint offering. Nice.
I don’t have the SA04 on order, but I am definitely interested in it. I would love to review another Imalent flashlight (DD2R was my first Imalent, and it is still going strong as my go-to light for around the house and backyard). The 4AA form factor(D40/Ea4/etc) is something I’ve been wanting to get into for a while now.
Happy that your DD2R is working out! I also am very interested in a (4) AA offering. I passed up great deals on both the EA4 and the D40A (I’m guessing so I can get the SolarStorm)/ This SA04 is very appealing!
My SA04 appears to have been delivered today. I will take a video of the variable tint and upload it so you can see how it works. I was under the impression that it is variable and not just 3 preset tones.
I just now looked at the link and it is variable. The ad copy in the one picture even states "Hundreds of color temperature combination" It just looks like 3 tints because they can't show all of them. They just show a medium combination and each extreme as an example. I hope I'm gonna love this light but in all reality once I find a nice temp to work with I likely won't change it much. It'll be a great toy in the beginning though and the modding challenge will be to get full power to both LEDs. :P
