All you plebes fighting over tints and what CRI makes your yellow 2700K lights look the least like yellow and the most like red.
Illuminant E master race.

Multi-frequency light is inescapably plebian, monochromatism is the true patrician choice
I personally like 4000k sst 20 led tint the best for flood lights and 5700k for throwers
Are we in agreement this is a subjective question?
Very, give me the 219B in sw35,sw40 or sw45k. Next some of the SST20’s in 4000k and xm-l2 and xp-l hi in 5a2. A few of the LH351D 3500-4000k are not bad and the new fc40 is really nice.
5D2 is the ultimate tint.
I say this becasue i have one for sale
That is above the bbl?
tint is in the eye of the beholder.
bbl?
Except the point is that “white” is not subjective. Illuminant E is the perfect white.

In physics and color science, the Planckian locus or black body locus is the path or locus that the color of an incandescent black body would take in a particular chromaticity space as the blackbody temperature changes. It goes from deep red at low temperatures through orange, yellowish, white, and finally bluish white at very high temperatures. A color space is a three-dimensional space; that is, a color is specified by a set of three numbers (the CIE coordinates X, Y, and Z, for example, or o...
What about an xhp70.2 in 3000k. Does anyone have experience with that leds
…
For me the sweet spot usually is 4D, 4A, 3D, 3A… below the BBL.
Of course that may vary either way (cooler or warmer) for some emitters.
I DETEST (HATE) warm, & super warm tints. Hideous Blue cool tints too.
For a “dedicated” thrower… cooler is better as long as it IS NOT Hideous Blue.
I seek 6500k and above and specifically love a bluish green tinge sometimes with some purple. No… my favourite is tint would be from my 3k xhp70.2 convoy m21c-u.

Too complicated
5D2
I prefer fairly warm white, but any warm white will do.
Had to do a Google / Wikipedia search to find out what is “Illuminant E”…
Illuminant E is an equal-energy radiator; it has a constant SPD inside the visible spectrum. It is useful as a theoretical reference; an illuminant that gives equal weight to all wavelengths. It also has equal CIE XYZ tristimulus values, thus its chromaticity coordinates are (x,y)=(1/3,1/3). This is by design; the XYZ color matching functions are normalized such that their integrals over the visible spectrum are the same. Illuminant E is not a black body, so it does not have a color temperature,...
Looks like it’s supposed to be approximated closely to somewhere around 5455k color temperature, based on the above link, but has no actual color temperature…
Illuminant E confirmed
Are we in agreement this is a subjective question?
YES… or at least we should be.
