What does “master race” have to do with this???
Illuminant E is a from theory constructed light source while “white” is, despite how you want it to be, in fact a human perception, far from objective. If they match for you that will be coincidence.
(Have you seen illuminant E? Is there an actual existing source of it?)
There has been a few studies about perceived white point and tint preference
One about perceived white point, and two about preference are cited in This presentation which I recommend reading.
Here is another one about perceived white point.
So not even talking about preference you can’t affirm that an illuminant E is white.
Anyhow personally I like CCTs between ~4500K and 2200K with duv between–0.002 and ~–0.008
The darkness is the perfection haha.
I’m not obsessed for the tint variations,but I dislike most of the low Cri Leds that are now obsolete(marketing strategy).
It’s basically tongue in cheek refernce to PC gaming being the ‘master race’ over console gaming systems. In referring to tints, CRI, and subjective perfect whiteness, it could become, ah, a bit slippery, lol.
yes but this thread makes the typical mistake of confusing the term Tint with Color Temperature…
I think its a joke, since there is no LED I can buy, that matches Illuminant E
in my real world, the choices are not theoretical… I mostly use sw45k, with an occasional 3000k 219b… or 2700k LH351d
For wich application you use the 45k and at wich time of the day?You talk about this LED a lot 
Stay safe?
Is the devil lurking above 5000K? :smiling_imp:
219b 4500k 9080 sw45k is in all my EDC
If I go into the basement, I use it to see things in boxes
If I go into the tool room, I use it to see things in tool bags
If I go travelling, I use it for my all purpose light at all times of day or night.
for the few situations where I am adapted to total darkness, I like a warmer CCT… usually 219b 3000k 9080
When Im modding flashlights, wearing a magnifying visor, I use a 5mm Yuji 5600k in a Sofirn C01 to illuminate my electronics work.
all are High CRI
.
When Im being stealthy and dont want to wake the plants up, I use green, and when I want to wake up the mitochondria in my retina I use Red:
.
I prefer use CCT above 4000k only at day time.Don’t like the yellowish contrast of the warm Leds with the daylight. On night is another story
For close works I prefer warm tints high Cri,less harsh for eyes and body healt
OK… Thanks for the info. 
Illuminant E is indeed white.
Your eyes are just to plebeian to see it right.
BTW in case you didn’t realize it yet, this whole thing is a joke.
Thanks for posing the bin chart. I have been lucky to get 5A2, 5A3 and 5D2 LEDs in a couple of forms and to me, they are wonderful! The do look the best behind a Carclo optic in a triple or quad, especially the XP-L family.
tint is racist.
well, maybe.
I was waiting for that comment!
I’m “offended”. :cry: :cry:
first to .." I'm offended" wins
It’s racist that there are no brown emitters.
Oh wait, that’s physics. Brown light doesn’t exist! 
Seriously though, I like a variety of tints under about 5000K. During strong moonlight, 4000-4500K can look great. This is where my Nichia 219C at 4000K really shines! Dumb puns aside, I feel like I missed the boat on 219B. I have a few lights that use it around 4000K but I never got to see it IRL at 3000K. When everything is lush in the summer and the moonlight isn’t strong, I like the SST-20 at 2700K.
