Which is better between Nichia E17 vs. E21 for 2000k

LED Flashlights – General Info

Hello, BLF.

I am considering Warm light with D4K.
For now I’ve compared Nichia E17A 1850K and E21A 2000K both 90 CRI.

For better lumens I quest E21A is win.

But I wonder why someone used to E17A 1850K.

Anyone tell me your think for both LEDs?!

Thanks.

I have both, imo if you’re getting the 2000K you might as well just go full hog and get the 1850K. It has less blue-side (or more red-side) spectrum so it will technically be less useful as a traditional light but I wouldn’t call the 2000K useful at that either.

These both are my most used lights - I use them every night as my settling down lighting. They’re both wonderful at that but the 1850K is just a bit better at emulating candle/fire light.

Also, I never use these beyond 30%, at 100% they can both light up a room at an uncomfortably bright level
