Your favourite CCT for your EDC FLASHLIGHT(S)

You said it Boaz. Wonder if anyone else. Gets it?

My favorite temps/tints are the ones I don’t notice. I also like temps/tints that play well with others.

My tint preference for flashlights:

I prefer 3000k as mood light in full darkness

I like 4000k in the evening when ambient is 3000k incandescent, but I dislike 4500k+ at that time

During the day, when my brain is white balanced to sunlight, I like 4500-6000k, and I dislike 3000k as too warm, at that time

but, if I dont compare the beam to anything, my brain white balances to all sorts of otherwise weird yellow, green, and violet tints, in a wide range of color temperatures

as a rule of thumb, I like the CCT of my flashlight to be slightly cooler (up to 1000k cooler) than the ambient white balance in that particular environment at the time of use

I voted 3000k as my most used light, because Im biased to low lumens and close range applications

Paisley

Haven’t heard that in a while… had almost entirely forgotten about it. :smiley:

me dumb, me no understand

On BLF, paisley is slang for spam.

Ah, thanks. But there one question left: where’s the spam?

Well, spam… and shenanigans. It kind of evolved into a long-term running joke.
