I know you’re dead serious, but it’s difficult for me to maintain a straight face to the suggestion of picking up a spectrometer and including a spectral analysis with my write-up. Let’s say that I will consider it in the future, after I pick up my light meter for measuring lux and integrating sphere for measuring lumens. :evil:
As for including beam shots, I have nothing with a beam pattern that is similar to this outdoor light. Even if I did, I’m not sure that it would do much good, since I doubt that most users would have the same floodlight to compare the beams with. I could take a picture comparing the flood with a standard flashlight beam, but that would be more for the purpose of illustrating why the beams are not comparable than for the purpose of comparing the two. If I have the time, I’ll take some pictures to show you what I mean.
This is NOT a neutral tint. Comparing it to my BLF A6 (1A tint), it is very slightly bluer. Therefore, my assessment is that it falls into the 1B range on the tint charts. Color/temp reference chart? However, you are aware that the tint on each LED beam changes from corona to fringe. The overlapping effect of the multiple LEDs changes the overall perception of the tint. Without a beam reference to compare this light against, based solely on a whitewall test, I would have guessed it as a dead center 1A tint.
Of course, the whitewall tests were conducted at night, under ambient fluorescent lighting (before testing), so my perception would have been skewed… wouldn’t it?
