At the moment, in the group buy feeler thread, TIP CRI is ahead of TIP 17-7. I’m very curious how this ends up, and if it causes more flashlight companies to make high CRI lights. Are you seeing this, Coast, with your TIR zoomie lens that I really like???
With a good price, this light for me is already worth the money for mere robbing the led, never seen a 3500K 90CRI Nichia 219 in the wild, and 3500K is my favorite colour temperature.
My favorite is 5000K, but as long as I get high CRI any color temperature is OK.
Surely there must be a cover for the charging port ??
I’ll take one tip in blue and one thumb. Maybe more if the price is right.
May be a silly question, but any clue on the beam profile on this? Guessing pretty tight if claiming 74m throw (beam distance).
Curious about the beam profile as well. I would like flood in a light like this.
With that small reflector expect a nice and generous hotspot, floody it is!
I’m in.
Here my review of SGN3 a smalll reflector and aceptable throw, and I think that Nitecore TIP will be better than this!!!

As long as it is available after mid-September I’m in for one or two CRI versions.
Anyone thinking about a group buy for the Thumb?
Yes, BLF member “M4D M4X” is organizing a group by for the Thumb and both models of TIP.
I try this. :innocent:

iirc the SGN3 uses PWM, so I would not consider it as I dont buy lights that use PWM any more.
Does anyone know if the TIP uses PWM?

Interesting question. Pretty sure my Nitecore EA11 does use PWM

It has even a low frequency-very annoying PWM, I don’t use it anymore because of that
Interrested in a thump and depending on price and reviews a TIP CRI 5000
interested in the tip, i already have a thumb on the way.
