Looking for high CRI

Any suggestions for a high CRI headlamp? Where I’m at right now is a Thrunite TH20 with the neutral XPL which I actually REALLY like. The UI is easy enough and the versatility is great. Tint is pretty dang good but the CRI leaves something to be desired. So far the only replacement I’d noticed is the Manker E03H but I very much dislike the long press/hold for off. Actually, I was hoping for something running a SST-20 with a nice OP reflector for a broad spot/flood beam. Is there anything like that out there?

I guess I should mention I’m strongly preference to a AA format, maybe with 14500 li-ion compatibility… but I’m not stuck on any specific battery other than something that can take primaries if needed.

An OP reflector is not going to make an SST-20 floody. That requires diffusion.

YLP Panda 2M CRI headlamp review (2x LH351D, 4000K, CRI90) 18650 Flashlights

Disclaimer: The YLP Panda 2M CRI was provided for testing by manufacturer free of charge [image] The Panda 2M CRI is YLP’s high CRI version of their Panda 2M headlamp, which replaces the arguably not so great Cree XP-G3 emitters with Samsung LH351Ds. They are specced at a warmish neutral 4000K color temperature with a high color rendering index of 90+ and a maximum output of 700 lumens. Just like the YLP Gryphon G180 I tested earlier, the Panda doesn’t join the lumen race of major brands. In i…
