Is there a warm white S43 flashlight (or similar) high CRI available?

Hi, is there a warm white version of this flashlight or any other 18650 one, side switch, high cri available?

By warm white I mean around 4000k or below.

Thanks!

Yes there is, in the SST-20 4000k and 3000k 95CRI Emisar D4:

I’ve got to say that I’ve really warmed up to my S43, no pun intended. I was concerned starting 10 minutes after I ordered it if the heat management would make the upper brigthtness levels too unusable for me, but the more I use it, the more I like it. One of my favorite things about it is how diffuse the beam is. It does have a hot spot, but the light fall-off into the surrounding area is a lot more gradual than any of my other flashlights that are this bright. It’s just a little less floody than if it had a fully frosted front lens.

I also have a D4S and at similar brightness levels, the beam of the D4S is far more concentrated into a well-defined hot spot, with the brightness falling off significantly outside that circle. The D4S is great in its own right, but I have doubts that a “mini D4S” (I do not own a D4) could supplant my own S43.

To mortuus and BlueSwordM, my question is, and hopefully this helps the OP make his decision: how gradual is the transition from hot spot to spill in the D4’s beam?

Well, the D4 has much smaller optics compared to the D4S. So it will not have the same intensity hotspot as the D4S.

The D4S is a souped up D4, not the opposite.

Therefore, it will have a diffused beam like the S43, with more usable range since it uses smaller die emitters, with even better color rendition and tint compared to the 219C.

Thanks! D4 95cri at 3000K is almost perfect but, is there an option that has USB rechargeable port like the s43?

you see no port on the D4 as it has none

only way on S43 is you get other LEds reflowed
