Convoy on low mode, reylight on 3
With visible PWM
excellent info!
I agree, and yes I hate yellow tint
reylight brass pinieapple on left has nice tint, too bad about the PWM
Wow, you’re right. I had checked the Reylight awhile ago, and couldn’t detect any PWM, but I didn’t have my regular camera setup at the time. I just checked with my dSLR at 1/4000s, and it does have PWM, even on its maximum mode. I wonder why they’d use PWM on max? I guess because it also uses a 14500, that max on NiMH is an intentional step-down.
Does it still have PWM when using a 14500?
It’s something I don’t notice with my eye, but, now that I know it’s there…. arrrgh… must not try to see with my eye! It has such a nice pure tint otherwise.
since i don’t have a 14500 yet, i don’t know.
This thread says only the middle modes use PWM.
I have to admit the tint of the Reylight is amazing.
since the Reylight is advertised as a 219c high CRI 4000k i was hoping for the same tint in my S2+ with KD’s high CRI 219c 4000k, which it obviously isn’t…
Added PWM info to that link
Afaik a light w PWM has PWM on all battery chemistries.
Yes, the 219C 4000K from WWEFANS / Reylight are cooler and less yellow than the KD ones.
I have yet to try Clemence’s 4000K ones.
His 3500K ones are very pleasant though.

Nichia 219c 4000k (Reylight)
Nichia 219c 4000k (pinapple)
Nichia 219c 4000k (Clemence)
Truly impressive.
By chance do you have any shots of the two at the far extremes where they are positioned closer together?
Very nice comparison, i have been searching for a nichia comparison, this is it!
Here you go, (L) Manker E21- 219b 4500k Ra9080 vs. ® S41- 219c 4000k Ra9050
WB set 5000k
Can someone give an explanation why the 4500k (to me) looks more orange over the 4000k? (from the beautiful picture of charles lin)
I just ordered the triple nichia 219C 5000K 83 CRI on noctigon from intl, since the 4000K 92 CRI from KD is to yellow-ish for me
The difference in temperature from charles-lin’s picture between the 5000k looks very huge, are there for example 4750k nichia’s? To me, i’d think that looks like the sweetspot in temperature.
Wow…charles lin,
You are the man……
Thank you from all of us.

Yokiamy, charles lin has just shown the difference between the manner in which 219B and 219C leds are classified.
Nichia 219B sw45 4500K. leds in particular, are generally binned (classified) below the ANSI BBL, whereas the more recent 219C flavors are binned according to the Macadams ellipse system, aiming more towards being centered on the BBL (black body line), perhaps with the ‘very’ recent 3-step 4000Ks from Clemence in particular, generally ending up more likely to find their home above the line.
In addition to temperature, you need to understand that hue can vary, even within the same measured temperature band.
In this case, the 219B has a more magenta hue, the 219C a hue (tint) with more yellow, mixing with red to produce the orange you notice.
Never really trust monitors. I saw his pictures via my smartphone and indeed its more orange. When I get back to the laptop, it’s pretty normal with magenta-ish tint
A totally non-scientific experiment increasing saturation in the photo from charles lin to higher levels, the intention being to examine tint shift in the two beams from different reflectors.
219B sw45 from the Manker E21 on the left, the 219C on the right being from an unspecified reflector.
