@ Jon_slder. Just give the 5D XML2 80+ cri a chance in your olight S mini. It’s not a nichia but so much better than that cold emitter you now have.

Here is mine between some 219b’s.

S41 nichia 219b (sliced domes for warmer tint), S mini 5D, tool 219b (+4400k), D25c 219b (+ 5000k, crappy ar glass replaced with plain glass)

thanks for the photo, very helpful, and I appreciate the LED suggestion
a friend went with one of those and is happy
but I would like higher CRI and more Rosy tint, in a copper host…
even if I have to sacrifice an S1 Mini to get there (even then it will come to less than the price of an HDS)=… :money_mouth_face:

Olight S1 Mini Baton CW+HCRI review with measurements (XM-L2/XP-G3, 16340)

Disclaimer: The Olight S1 Mini Baton was provided for testing by the manufacturer free of charge [image] The S1 Mini is currently the smallest 16340/RCR123 flashlight in Olight’s Baton S series of compact EDC lights.

The light omits Olight’s magnetic tailcap with usb charging contacts and replaces i…

Lumintop Tool AAA Copper + Titanium measurements (Nichia 219B)

Here’s some data I measured from the two special editions of the Lumintop Tool AAA. My Tool Ti is a Reylight variant with an inverted mode switching (L-M-H). The Copper one is from Massdrop with the stock mode order (M-L-H). The Ti has been in use for some time, so the tailcap capacitor has had to time to properly charge and activate the high mode. Some interesting findings were made especially in the highest mode. The Ti seems very inefficient compared to the Copper. The problem lies in the dr…
