    Personal Protection Light

    suggestions for a warm tint high CRI flashlight

    Our XR-700 has a warm light tested by UL to have 5200K, 700lm. The light in my opinion is warm enough and gives a feeling of natural color, below is an image taken at night. The standard flashlights give you 7000K or even 8000K which is a truly white light. So I don't think you need to go to...
