The Fabled Nichia 219B - still relevant?

Thanks contractcr, to my eyes those two look identical. Very nice comparison, I have also seen TIR’s that shift to some completely odd ball tint. That’s pretty amazing how different TIR’s can make such a difference. It also amazes me how much the LH351D 5k changes to such a nice tint when shaved.
In jon_slider’s saturation pic of the “Mostly shaved LH351D, SMO reflector” it looks like it has a bit of green. I feel the closer its shaved also makes a difference in tint, I’m no expert but I see no green from shaving close with my samples in a SMO reflector.
Thanks for all the pics gentlemen, really educational.
I do feel that if more people tried the shaved LH351D it would become even more popular.
If I ever spend the time to figure out how to take tint comparison without looking completely different than what I see, I’ll post those up.

Djozz test with a shaved LH351C if anyone is interested. GB 351D closed. - #713 by djozz
