    Samsung 5000k HiCRI good news and bad news

    I've been using mine as my EDC for one month now. I'm very happy with this light. In actual use, I do not see any green at all. It just looks pure white with excellent colors. Plus, the 300 lumens is awesome. :thumbsup: This emitter combined with the 18650 body is pretty close to perfection for...

    Samsung 5000k HiCRI good news and bad news

    I received my SDR50 High CRI 5000K yesterday. It is really nice! Compared to my 170N, it's quite a bit more floody and obviously cooler in tint. Throw wise they are pretty similar since the SDR50 and almost twice the output. I love 5,000K tint with high CRI! Not warm nor cool, just white with...

    Samsung 5000k HiCRI good news and bad news

    Some of the beamshots make the Samsung look a bit green. Is that how it’s looking in real life?

    Samsung 5000k HiCRI good news and bad news

    Hogo, my EDC for many years now has been an Executive 170N (Nichia). Any idea how this will compare for throw? Hopefully the extra output will make up for the wider beam and at least maintain its throw compared to my current HDS.

    The HDSRB Project

    What's the diameter (thinking about pocket-ability)?

    That looks awesome! I can’t wait to see how well it throws! I’m definitely interested in one.

    Dark Sucks: Research Poll- what do you want to see?

    I would love to see a Yellow-Green (565-570nm) Beta. I’ve always enjoyed this color in my SureFires (A2, Kroma Milspec, and HL1-D). It’s great for low light needs and isn’t completely monochromatic light other color options. It’s easier to distinguish between various colors when using YG versus...

    Surefire Aviator 2017 thread

    Has anyone order a YG Aviator in the past few months? Are there still the QC issues (flickering, issues with optic, etc)?

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    I ordered four during the Black Friday sale. I’m keeping one for myself and gifting the other three. It’s a little disappointing to see that SF still can center emitters. Not one out of four is centered. Three out of my four are definitely on the green side. I’m keeping the least green for...

    Wow, that's quite the story! Glad to hear both you and the Aviator survived unharmed!

    Travelling to Irvine, CA. Any light shop/dealer to suggest for visit?

    If you end up north of Los Angeles at all, LA Police Gear in Valencia has a pretty cool "flashlight wall" where you can try and play with a bunch of flashlights.

    Re: Surefire Aviator release date? After owning all the yellow-green flashlights that SureFire has offered over the years, as well as being a huge fan of the original A2 Aviators, I was really excited for this light. Over the past few weeks, I have ordered and tried FOUR yellow-green...

    Re: Surefire Aviator release date? Unfortunately, it's pretty annoying. :(

    Surefire Aviator 2017 thread

    Re: Surefire Aviator release date? It does it on low white and low yellow-green on mine. Edit: I just tried it again. Mine is flickering on high yellow–green as well as both low modes.
