I really want 2000k. But I voted for 2000k + 4500k so we have more variety of tints.
I voted 4500. I wouldn’t buy one warmer than that.
I am interested in the 2000K and the 3500K but polls can be tricky. I voted just for the 2000K because I really want it to happen. I’ve got a bunch of flashlights at 2700K and higher. I want to experience the novel warmth of a 2000K flashlight!
Yeah it's similar for me. At this point if they were available I'd probably buy both 2000K and 4500K, but I really want 2000K to happen, too, so I voted for only that.
Polls are hard indeed. See, if I lot of people vote "2000K + 4500K" maybe Sofirn sees this and they think everyone who voted that would buy both, so maybe that makes them opt for producing both. Or they basically add them together and just produce the most requested one (4500K). But I bet a lot of people who voted for a "dual" option which includes 2000K really want that one to become reality as it'd be so unique.
Don’t know what Sofirn makes of it, but have a look at the interest list (link in OP). 2000K leads with 69 to 67 (4500K) preorders.
The intention of this poll is to find out what tint and what combination (if more than one tint is desired) would be most anticipated. So, if someone votes for 2.000K and 4.500K, this will be counted as interest in both tints. This method was only used because BLF's software will not allow multiple choice but only one selection to choose from. Now, if the poll ends up with lots of interest in all three tints, there's a better foundation to convince Sofirn producing more than only one version.
However, Sofirn still waits for Nichia (or their distributors) to respond to their inquiry. I really hope this won't take forever as patience is a virtue to many of us.
R9080 only.
I never liked cool white flashlights, particularly with EDC but since I tried a Clemence’s Jetusolis 6500K, I found that a very high CRI 6500K flashlight could be very usefull, not pleasing but sometimes very usefull. I not satisfied with R9050 flashlights since quite long, so even if I would be tempted by a 2000K flashlight, being only R9050, it will probably end in a drawer quickly compared to a 2700K (R9080) one.
I voted for 3500K + 4500K but would much prefer 2700K + 4000/4500K + 6500K (all R9080).
I voted for 3500K + 4500K but would much prefer 3000K (hopefully R9080).
