Your practical usages of high CRI flashlights?

The way this question read in my mind was “What are the practical uses of flavoring food”?

Someone saying they don’t see the point of High CRI lights is like someone saying they don’t see the point in flavoring food.

If all you ate was diarrhea and someone came along and gave you a solid turd and told you it was a steak…

Some of ya’ll are way too used to confusing turds for steaks

This has been my Ted Talk, Thank you for coming.

You know, I never understood CRI until I read this. Can’t thank you enough.

I def didn’t understand it before also. Happy thats no longer the case and happy I was able to help someone else understand it too.

Yeah i’m confused too—Is high CRI the turds or the steak…? :innocent:

Well I guess that depends on you and what you’re used to consumin partna.

I bet I bought 20 6500K lights before finally giving warm lights a go. Now I never go above like 4000 at most

This is good to know but how about a thread where you ask questions, we tell you what we value and you answer with what makes sense or doesn’t make sense for Xtar.

From CRI to max outputs to UI to temperature regulation to battery types and more we can give you lots of useful information but by replying to us you will get better answers and better ideas.

We have many suggestions and would be happy to explain them

That’s precisely what I was thinking.

Given the relatively cheap cost of individual emitters, I’m thinking that one could make a multi-emitter light that features two different kinds of emitters to select from. Such as high CRI and low CRI. Considering the amazing advances achieved in CNC machining, imagine a quad TIR, with an emitter board featuring 8 emitters, and a rotating collar accessible from the head exterior. You rotate one direction to a fixed stop position and one bank of emitters is lined up with the TIR. Rotate in the opposite direction to a fixed stop position where the alternative bank of emitters is lined up with the TIR. You can then have a UI that activates either bank, or both simultaneously. The emitters in line with the TIR project normally, while the emitters askew from the TIR acts as a “mule”, similar to what we’ve seen available from Emisar.
