“REVIEW”: Wuben E12R – Powerbank Flashlight – USB-C Charging – 18650 - 1200 lumens [Pic Heavy] (OD beamshots: #15)

[Skylight]

@MascaratumB

Thanks Skylight! :+1:

Well, I am actually happy that you brought up this subject! I literally jumped out of the couch - where I was almost sleeping -, picked the E12R and a couple of other lights, pikced a pebbled TIR and…took some photos.

So, I have to say that this Osram P9 is not as green as it seems. BUT, the clear TIR optic creates a yellowish/greenish artifact aroung the white part of the beam that gives the impression of that eventual green tint!

This is mostly related to the TIR, than with the led.

For that, I picked the pebbled TIR and took the folowing photos (ON THE LEFT). Stock TIR (on the RIGHT)

…

You will notice that the stock TIR has strong influence in the beam, making it more greenish that it actually is!

And I guess their preference for this led may be something related to the its’ efficiency, maybe?

And take a look at the Samsung photos, see how much they differ from photo to photo depending on the interaction of beams and manual vs auto settings!

Many thanks for the detailed answer, MascaratumB! :sunglasses:

If it was not for the throw you should keep the pebbled TIR. I know that clear optics can cause a green beam, I have the same problem in a FF E07 with Luxeon V2 and a D4S with XPL2.

Or they prefer the led because they got a cheap lot of it?

Nice comparison beamshots! Sometimes it happens to me that once I take a whitewall beamshot of two or three flashlights I see which leds are more green and which are rosy. If you want a led to look green just put a 219B SW45K led next to it.

When I edit my photos I frequently notice that the camera sets a parameter not only for the color temperature but also for the green and pink colors.
