There is significant tint shifting with the AR lens on. Wuben needs to get rid of the AR lens and install quality clear glass instead. I installed 90 CRI Nichia 219C triple in mine, and it’s absolutely fantastic now, albeit under driven. But thats ok, because it never gets hot. The machining quality of the host is top notch.
Can you comment on this? The TO46R was advertised as a High CRI light but it turned out that it isn’t. Maybe you should stop advertising some of your lights as high CRI if they really aren’t. We’ll eventually know for sure. I hope you’re not doing this with the TO10R.
There are brands out there that do deliver in their claims with high CRI in their flashlights (Astrolux, Jaxman, Emisar for example). I don’t see why I would waste my money with a product that claims to be something it isn’t.
We have thoroughly investigated the issue and found out that there was indeed a batch fabricated with incorrect emitters. The emitters used in that batch were only 70CRI. We have now implemented new safety measures that will make sure this will not happen again and all future lights will use correct 90+CRI emitters.
Hi Wuben-team,
that is the right way ! :+1:
But what is with my two TO46R ? I bought them because I thought it is a high CRI torch but it has only 72 CRI!?
How could Wuben help me?
I have been following this thread with great interest, as I see TO10R and TO46R as very promising products, but the above mentioned CRI issue has been preventing me from purchasing them. :person_facepalming:
Consequently, I have been lately providing them some assistance with the CRI issue… Correct emitters will arrive their factory as we speak and all new lights produced will have real 90+CRI emitters. They have been very collaborative and proven that they really want to improve. Good job!
To be sure of the quality and real CRI, I arranged samples from the new batches to be tested by maukka (and me) => We can buy them with confidence.
Speaking of buying: Some members were requesting a GB of these lights, so… While being in close contact with Wuben, I did my best to negotiate a pretty good group buy of TO46R and TO10R.
The GB will be announced soon. Please stay tuned!
[price is too good to be mentioned publicly and amount of GB lights limited to certain number (for both models separately) - feel free to express your interest below and get your spot reserved in advance… ;)]
Thanks for the work with them, the (and maukka)!
Wuben lights are very nice, and with High CRI they will be even more!
I guess I will wait some time more to get a hand on a TO46R, if the price is good!
I would also suggest some UI change on the TO10R (as I did on my review and suggested directlty to Jelina) but even if that is not possible, I will keep an eye on the 46R.
