The more polished it is, the clearer is will get. I would think that would be like the difference between the 10507 (clear, narrow) and the 10509(frosted, wide).
Yup, I know that is the purpose of polishing, but with such a tiny optic and thin surface, I am not sure how well could you polish to get a clear look as the 10507. But I am no expert on that too.
This is the type of surface you have (I don’t have my magnifying lenses with me to take a better photo).

I did do so. The review shows the emitters with the bezel off; you can see the emitters too if you’d like.
Yes this surprised me too quite a bit (when someone else also pointed it out). I don’t have the answer. As with the other set of beamshots, the settings are as stated in the review:
the mustard yellow tint of the LEDs closely resembles what people posted when the RRT-01 2020 came out with a 4000k 219c, that ended up being 70 CRI… maybe thats what your light has too…
see what I mean?:
I think your 4000k guess is correct…
in the case of the RRT-01, the 4000k CCT and Low CRI was confirmed:
and verified:
I would just plan on an LED swap for the FWAA if it arrives with Mustard Yellow Tint. Ive always found 219c to have tint above the bbl (not my thing).
I think MascaratumB got lucky… Ive never seen a 219c with pink tint like his.
I tried to make a comparison between different Nichia Leds, with auto WB balance and with WB at 5000K.
From left to right:
Nichia 219C 5700K (Jaxman E3)
Nichia NVSW219BT ~5000K (“BLF 318” hc-lights.fi version)
Nichia 219C 5000K (FWAA)
Nichia 219C 4000K (FWAA)
WB - AUTO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WB - 5000K
Below there’s the comparison of the above mentioned Nichias, with the Wuben TO50R (4 Samsung LH351D 5000K), on the left of all
WB - AUTO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WB - 5000K
I also did other comparison with a flashlight with Luxeon V2 3000K (right), which is the warmer leds I have .
WB - AUTO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WB - 5000K
I am not sure if this helps in some way.
If my see all that rosy, or all that green, or all the other nuances, but they are there.
The WB at 5000K exaggerates the colours somehow, but this is the only way i can show how they look like. My cellphone doesn’t allow better…
EDIT: I picked my DQG Slim which has a rosy XP-G2. When compared with the FWAA with 219C 4000K, this one seems more leaned to yellow and the XP-G2 to rosy, at human sight.
Yup, I did confirm, both of mine are Nichias. If they are only selling 219C, then mine are 219C too
As I mentioned in my edit, when compared with a rosier led, the 4000K will have a more yellow tone, but then, while compared with others, its rosy slightly appears. I believe another camera could capture it in different conditions, so I am not saying I am “right” !
