Small flashlight with dim amber or non-blue light?

For night reading I would recommend Sofirn C01 . Not amber, but warm HiCRI LED without any blue.

Thanks - the warm white 3400K option?

I actually have a Thrunite Ti3 that has a dim firefly mode which is 0.04 Lm:

Ti3 Mini Flashlight AAA Keychain Light

The Ti3 is the perfect size and the brightness is good but I worry that it is too blue and might be disrupting my metalonin production?

Is the light from the Ti3 different to the Sofirn C01?

I also have a Thrunite T01 but that is way too bright. But is it possilbe to get dimmer bulbs or change them somehow to be less blue?

Thanks

I have a couple of the thrunite Ti3. Wonderful little light. Most are a pleasure roughly 4000k neutral white. One is much warmer. Almost a yellow, though not amber. Perfect for what you are asking, but of course it was luck of the draw. They are easy to disassemble, though so perhaps an emitter swap would work for you.

Of course the c01 would be excellent as well, though it’s actually larger.

Another though is that maybe a LRI photon freedom in amber or yellow. Very light and compact.

Thanks. So can I ramp it up and down via the device, such as twisting it? Or is it set some other way?

Click and hold the button to change brightness.

Hey! I have the original C01 with the Yuji emitter and it is one of my all-time favorite little flashlights. The light level is “just right” for night reading, small tasks, etc. The run-time is excellent. It’s also a great choice for kids who are too young to not shine it in people’s eyes but old enough to not try to eat it.

How does the 3400K Sophia version stack up? Also, is red version like a single-mode version of the C01R?

Wish for smd Orange ~600nm
For my taste is better color than Amber

I have the C01 w 5600k Yuji and it is a personal favorite. I like the cooler light when modding flashlights. It lives on my Jewelers visor. I like everything about the CRI and Tint

I dont have the 3200k Yuji anymore, so I cant do a side by side with the 3400k Sophia, but they are similar. If you want a warm LED, I say yes to Sophia.

there are subtle differences in the beam
There IS a hotspot w the Sophia, this is due to the aluminium cone being more shiny than the first run Yuji lights, that had virtually no hotspot. The later released Yuji lights did also have a more polished reflector cone, and hence also a hotspot.

I prefer no hotspot, but Im also not bothered by the hotspot that the Sophia release has. I know I can change it if I decide I want to, with a bit of sandpaper to scuff up the reflector cone, only, not the LED

I do not recommend the C01 with 670nm Red LED. I find it too weak, and the beam has bright artifacts in it. Not a nice even beam. Some people have sanded the LED, this makes it half as bright, and still has imo a beam that is not evenly lit.

otoh, I think the C01R is Brilliant!.. 3 well spaced modes, at useful brightness levels. If you want a red LED light, this is the one to buy, imo.

I found that Satco S9489 monochromatic amber LED bulb is noticeably more orange than my XP-E2 Amber flashlights.

Satco S9678 18W/LED/HID/AMBER/100-277V E26
Satco S9489 36W/LED/HID/AMBER/100-277V E26

I have both S9678 and S9489 and I love the orange-colored monochromatic light from S9489. Manufacturer specifications say Amber color - 585nm, but I am pretty sure that is wrong. XP-E2 Amber is most likely between 585nm and 595nm, and S9489 is significantly more orange. S9678 spec sheet does not mention CCT, but S9489 spec sheet says CCT is 1461K.

(1) most yellow: Emisar D4V2 with XP-E2 Amber
(2) half way in between: Kaidomain P60 with XP-E2 Amber and Satco S9678
(3) most orange: Satco S9489

I did not measure the spectrum, but my guess is S9489 could be around 595nm to 600nm.
